Whenever Major Nelson isn’t busy creating test posts with his Macintosh, or LOL’ing about it, he likes to update his blog with the daily downloads on Xbox Live. Today, Major Nelson is reporting that the Too Human demo is ready to be consumed by the masses. The demo is being brought out as a part of Microsoft’s “Bringing it Home” E3 spectacular that includes videos, pictures, themes and demos from the event.
The demo is a spectacular 1.09 GB download, so get in line early and be prepared to wait for a bit. In the meanwhile, I suggest you read Nick’s post about the four reasons why you should be for or against Too Human. The points that Nick brings up should serve as a prep for your own experience of the demo.
Tell us what you think. Does it stack up to Diablo? Is it the amazing experience that Silicon Knights wants it to be? Either way, go download it now. It’s free.

Too Human demo is out now XBL Gold members. Silver members not human enough.
Seriously? One of the most hyped game Microsoft has, and you have to have a gold membership to play the DEMO!
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGE!
Get ready to be disappointed then.
The game has some moments of fun to it, but it lacks a lot of polish. Many of the textures (I'm looking at you, grass..) terrible and the AI buddies look like first-gen 360 people with square fingers and muddy textures.
On top of that, you can't control the camera and the menus are a pain.
Despite all of that though, I had fun playing it. I definitely won't be picking it up day one, but maybe when it's dropped in price to $20 or $30 I'll pick it up.
Could not agree more. Plus, for a game that has a large single player component...a big part of the market(so I would think) lies in silver members.
meh.
I'm probably gonna pick it up.
Wish they had a multiplayer demo for us gold members first then a week later roll out the single player demo for silver members. It was fun, kinda lame voice acting. I don't think I'll be playing this game for the SP. I did get mad a few times with not having a camera to control (like when blasted up against a wall). Combat system took a little getting used to. They should have made it so you lvl up faster so you have more time to loot and play around with the Equipment and such. As soon as I got some new items the demo was over.
Might pick this up when price drops. Multiplayer seems like a blast. Wish it was 4 player co-op. :(
GOLD MEMBERS ONLY!
got it and played a few minutes - the graphics were mediocre, the combat was boring, and the non-stop NPC dialog was unbelievably inane. If MST3K spoofed videogames, and the 'bots were doing the dialog, then it'd be funny. I quit the demo and deleted it before finishing.
To be honest, even though I didn't think it was bad gameplay-wise I have some gripes. First off, the game's been in development forever so I guess the graphics are more along the lines of a first-gen 360 title. I can live with that, but having a development cycle this long and not having a decent camera system is inexcusable. They've been dealing with that camera for years now? Really? Unbelievable.
That said, it doesn't seem like a title I would pick up on day 1, but it's certainly a b-list title I can see myself playing with a buddy.
Like c0dek, I played it for a bit, then deleted it, finding myself bored to tears. Could this be true? This game that's supposed to be so awesome, that I'm supposed to be waiting for with great anticipation, THIS is what I'm expected to want?
The Asgardian/scifi mashup is not a new idea, though perhaps new to games. The cheesy voice acting doesn't bother me. The graphics are just plain dull, even though the art direction is not (not always, that is). The combat itself is god damned BORING! I've had more fun in a fucking CHURCH, where FUN ITSELF is prohibited!
Thinking that maybe the game was fine, and it was just be in a bad mood or something, I Googled it, and found this site. Seeing my feelings reflected in so many other posts, I just had to voice my agreement.
This game, if the demo is any indication, is a turd. A great big steamy pile of dogshit that's just begging for an Uwe Boll film adaptation. Such excrement is unacceptable these days. Now that we've all played stuff like Bioshock, Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect, and GTA4, we don't have to accept games like Iron Man, The Bourne Conspiracy, Halo 3, or Too Human anymore. I will not be buying it, probably ever. Well, maybe someday, when my local game store has its annual sidewalk sale, where they unload all their shit games nobody wants for $10-$15 apiece.
