Not only is the camera and dialogue questionable during cutscenes, but the animation and direction all together are pretty poor.

The cutscene where Loki is broken out of his prison and he fights a bunch of guards with his staff thing SHOULD have been awesome, but it was awkward and clunky to the point of being laughably bad.

Personally I found any cutscene involving Thor to be horrifically bad, Loki at least has an intimidating air about him. Thor just appears to be a bearded retard with a big hammer. Especially the scene where he 'dies' and lets out the most idiotic scream I've ever heard. I guess the excuse could be that it wasn't really Thor, but it WAS his voice actor!

Mimir was by far the best character in the game, and should have been used throughout as a guide/tutor for Balder, either in "person" or communicating remotely using one of the little drones that are in the Aesir tower.

Ok, Just sold my copy of Too Human on Ebay. After about 7 hours in, I simply couldnt stand it anymore. With all due respect to all who enjoyed it but honestly, this game is a pile of nonsense. An abysmal attempt and a failure for Microsoft Game Studios.

I simply cant see how this could be turned into a good game in the sequel and I cant believe that MS has agreed to make this a trilogy. I say, throw the concept away Silicon, go play Eternal Darkness againand go back to the drawing board.

I have given the game a chance but it failed me BIG TIME!

just completed it (11 hours) and it was a pretty shoddy game. camera and combat where the main offenders, but animation, voice acting and story wernt up to much either. and that valkyrie death animation is burned into my mind thanks to the fact you cant skip the damn thing. i cant see how silicon knights can fix it for the sequels tbh, other then starting completely from scratch (and it taking another 10 years)

oh, and the crazy amounts of armour means squat when by the end of the game you look like a tube of fruit pastels. i looked like a multicoloured freak through majority of the game.

That's why they included the colour runes, so that you could make your armour match.

seemed like a waste of cash, and considering a pair of boots cost 35k a pop, every little counts.

I don't think the colour runes are that expensive though. My beef with the loot gathering is that except for the 2 red(as in rare...not the actual colour) items I've found, I just found the exact same armour sets and weapon as my roommate did on his playthrough. So much for character customization.

Keep checking the shops, if your hunting for reds. That's where I've found most of mine.

After every level run, me and my coop buddy hit the shops and usually a third of the time we'll find a red. That's in Tyr's armoury though. I Have yet to find any red armour DX

What class did you all play as?

I've got a lvl 43 Champ and a lvl 50 Bio Engineer.

they're expensive when you consider everything else is extrotionate. i never felt i had the luxury of being able to buy some coloured dye for my whole outfit when everything cost so damn much. every 100 gold or whatever currency it used ment a lot.

as for the class i chose - berzerker. i dunno how you can reach lvl 50 tho. it'd kill me. i'd maybe able to endure if i could skip that god damn valkyurie death animation, but you cant...its like 25 seconds long from dying to respawning, the music, the clipping issues, the animation.... its enough to make a person crazy.

I didn't really have much trouble with amassing a nice little fortune; at a certain point, crafting new weapons and armour really wasn't worth it, so I ended up selling almost everything I picked up. Colour runes could have been 10k a piece, and it wouldn't have been too much.

Yeah, I know that the shops have red items. I don't like that the shops have red items. You should have to FIND rare items, not buy them.

I have a level 38ish berzerker.

I don't even know if I'll make another character because almost every aspect of the game is so incompetently done.

I've finished my first playthrough yesterday and I really enjoyed it (Lvl30). I think the art design in this game was fabulous, from the looks of the high-tech dungeons, the architechture outside (statues everywhere) the regular stages - everything had that awesome touch to it. My favorite stage was Number two, then four, then one and three.

Some of the shots from outside the space station reminded me a lot of the Capatin Future design and really impressed me. Too bad the engine wasn't that good and not quite up to do the job.

But I am also looking forward to part 2 - but the engine needs to be improved, improved I demand!

What I found quite dissapointing is the fact that you don't get to fight that impressive looking monster from the intro-movie! I thought they were kidding me when I realized that the game was over ... a big letdown IMO.

I also don't like the fact that nowadays game heroes often tend to look like their producers (Baldur ---> Dyack). Talk about over-featuring here ... I already disliked that in Gears of War (though it's not as obvious as it is in Too Human) ...

Umm....you do fight it, or at least something like it. Isn't that where Tyr dies by suicide-bombing the thing in the mouth?

You mean that doggie-hedgehog-opossum hybrid? aha ... interesting ... but come to think of it, it can't be. Because if it was that thing, they would have shown that scene where it "roars" as in that picture, don't you think?

What's also sad is the fact, that the game has only 4 stages. That's quite lame. I would have enjoyed 12-15 stages (with only a quarter of length each) much more ...

one thing that bugged me about the mix of sci-fi and norse was how baldur looked like he'd stepped right out of a modern day sci-fi movie, yet every other character retained the old school plate armour and fur combo. it was odd seeing them all together in cutscenes where you have everyone in gold and black armour with furry bits, and then there was multicoloured plastic suit baldur...lol. very odd.
