Too Human Review

Again to its credit, Too Human hits the nail squarely on the head in that elusive mix of action and role-playing elements. Twitch skills alone may get you by the early going, but taking on the game's ever scaling difficulty requires not just a well played character but a well built one, and that is as it should be. Also well done is that constant barrage of mini-rewards and cyber-cookies of all kinds. If you're a power-leveling loot-whore (not that there's anything wrong with that), there's a good chance Too Human is going to get its hooks into you.
That's the good news. The bad news is that Too Human brings a lot of little flaws along for the ride. The controls, which use the right analog stick for targeting rather than camera control, take some getting used to. Still they never lose an awkward imprecision that can be extremely annoying in a game where death is just moments away under even the best circumstances. The other fallout from this is a camera whose ideas of what you should be looking at you are left to the not-so-tender mercy of. Most of the time it behaves, but oh boy when it doesn't you're really in for a treat.
