My first impression of the Too Human demo is that the characters lack soul. There is just something missing in their eyes. One would figure a game titled "Too Human" would feature characters with more humanity. The cut scenes have a noticeable shake and appear to lack polish.
I prefer an on-screen HUD but toggled its activity. It is an eyesore. The general, skill, and inventory menu share the same troubling quality and feel very dated; the icons and graphics look uninspired. I assume frequent use of that interface would prove tiring. Monster's Den on Kongregate has better menu systems.
Combat can be fun, and controls prove responsive. However, the camera can become unmanageable, and the free-look mode does not work. Maybe I did it wrong, but having to fire while accessing free-look mode is a bit bothersome.
Overall, the demo feels very unpolished.

I was hoping for the best with this demo but I found it to be kinda bad, I don't like the combat with moving the thumb stick, I thought the graphics even for a demo would be much better than they were. But I am really hoping for some weird reason that somehow the final game will be better than this but I will probably be let down and disappointed again.

Yeah, it just doesn't look like a game that took 10 years to develop. Here's hoping Duke Nukem Forever blows it out of the water.

*after reading the reviews*
Ouch.
Seems like my demo impressions hold to the full version.
Man, this is somewhat painful. Poor SK.

I'm scared to visit NeoGAF Too Human reviews are finally starting to fully roll out and they're....mediocre at best. 1Up even went as far as to give it a C-, which is barely average. NeoGAF is going to implode into it's own arrogance Honestly though, I hope Dyack just keeps his mouth shut and chugs away on the sequel knowing that there is still going to be a segment of the gaming populous that actually enjoyed your game fully.

Yeah, I meant Gamepro Since EGM and 1Up are the exact same thing.

I'm bored too and I don't even have Photoshop to dick around with. I have to listen to my iPod or read. I better finish reading World War Z. I can play DS, but all I have is Final Fantasy, and if I start playing that right now, I'll not get anything done today when work comes in

I'd rather suck off a yak and shove a porcupine up my ass than waste my money buying Too Human.

Rented Too Human (I'm crazy I know) I don't hate it as much as I did playing the demo, yes the combat sucks big fungus filled black balls but the story so far seems kind of interesting which might keep me playing it and really if your in the mood for a stupid slasher game like I am then you'll keep playing it.

Finished the game, but I mean the combat though out the game was just a huge pile of shit, the boss battles were stupidly hard and it made you think through out the whole fight you weren't damaging them at all and I may be stupid but they have this thing called auto salvage and about half way though the game I'm starting not to understand why I don't have more than 1 weapon and I guess either the game has it on auto or I somehow turned it on and it sold everything that I picked up. The only redeeming factor was the story, I really kept playing to find out what the end was going to be and it was pretty good I mean if they fix the shit combat and boss battles and graphics I could see this turn into maybe a good series.
