:
Too Human: Originally developed for the Playstation 1 as a 4 Disc action adventure game. Originally shown last century (E3 1999). Before completion (2000) it was announced to be a Gamecube exclusive, previous efforts scrapped. The game was finally announced as an Xbox 360 exclusive (2005). Silicon Knights sued Epic Games over inadequate support for the Unreal 3 Engine (2007).
<Observation/Conclusion> : Product Development highly unstable

:
Denis Dyack: Founder and President of Silicon Knights, very outspoken, but seemingly intelligent (for an organic individual).

"The deal is: Prior to the release of Too Human, posters say whether they are "for" or "against" the game, judging from previews and footage they've seen. If the game comes out and gamers find that it's a steaming pile of hot garbage, then Dyack will where [sic] a tag under his forum name that says "Owned by GAF."
If Too Human is well-received, all those who voted "against" will be tagged "Owned by Too Human."
[/quote]
<Conclusion> : Dyack needs to be restrained and not to be let near the internet in fear of sabotaging his own projects.

<Initial thought> the game is titled ‘Too Human’ – I, a sentient Robot may not be the target audience.

Cinematic is ‘boring’.
Too Human = Halo + Mass Effect + Devil May Cry + Boring?
Controlling the character during cinematics just means the main character spins a lot in conversation.
<ANGER> : Right thumb stick controls attacking, left bumper controls camera = HORRIBLE.
Player must battle the camera, but only armed with bumper button and not duelling pistols and sword.
<Initial conclusion : COMBAT > : ‘Cluster Fuck’
All enemies are Robots. If I had feelings, I might feel remorse for killing my brothers.
<Observation : ANIMATION> : Very stiff and robotic, which I respond to well, though organic humans will not.
<Observation : GRAPHICS> : Stark and barren environments, but to make up for it the Bloom lighting slider has been turned up to 11. All characters look the same, perhaps they too are robots? Seem to have all been modelled by an organic human who loves acne ridden Ken dolls. All females modelled off local prostitutes.
<Conclusion : STORY> : ERROR – ERROR – ERROR : So convoluted my circuits have crossed.
Something to do with being Human? Or perhaps... Too Human?
[response to event] Was I just playing in a fantasy world within a flashback in a sci-fi story embedded in Norse mythology? = YES
Main character is sad, troubled and conflicted by emotion. Robots = 1 Humans = 0
<Observation : DEMO LENGTH> : Demo takes 54 minutes and 36 seconds to complete. Wished it was over at 25 minutes, never want to play full version as a result.
///dos.run]/dsm.final.conclusion =
>TOO HUMAN – [demo.version]
/ the kind of game you want to play if you want to wish you were playing another game. The story is a mess of wasted potential, the art style manages to be horribly generic in such a unique setting and the game play and combat is repetitive and clumsy. If the game was made by Robots, titled ‘Too Robot’ and the protagonist a Robot it would have been > 100% more.success.
