Too Human will be hitting store shelves sometime late next month, but as most of you know there is now a demo available on Xbox Live. How is it you may ask? Well it depends on what you expect from a game like this. Too Human is definitely different from a traditional RPG, it has a 3rd person action game feel to it. The developer, Silicon Knights has been working on this series for almost ten years now.

The original game was supposed to be released on the Sony PlayStation as a 4 disc adventure game, then Nintendo picked it up and it was supposed to get transferred to the GameCube in 2000 but shortly after fell through. Fast forward to 2005 when Microsoft announced a partnership with the company in which it was finally being developed for the Xbox 360 game console. I downloaded the demo and wasn?t quite sure what to expect, mind you I don?t play very many RPG?s but I was willing to give this one a try. The demo gives players a very good idea on what the whole game is going to be like, in a word: awesome!

I never really played through an RPG but this game really keeps the action going and gives you plenty of weapons, armor, moves and power-ups during the demo to keep the story going. The graphics are good, especially the environments, but yet it?s still not a Gears of War killer. But the graphics combined with the game play create a very fun game. You can even turn the damage window on to get that Final Fantasy feel to it or you can simply turn it off to have that action game feel. The reason to me that this game is different is because the company mixed an action games elements with an RPG and came out with a great recipe. I won?t have a full review until later next month when the game comes out but you can rest assured that I am not going to be the only one wanting to get their hands on this game. Until then check out the demo on Xbox Live and let me know what your thoughts are on this new action RPG.
