I don't get why people are complaining about this review lacking in content. That's what nearly all 1up reviews are like. Or are they just now noticing the short form, budget format, because it's a score they disagree with?

When viewed as buyer's guides, 1up reviews are pretty much at the bottom of the barrel.

Just tell him to register here. I want to talk about his interpretation of Norse mythology, after I'm done with the game. I still think separating the mythology from its cultural roots and environments (and replacing elemental creatures with robots) is a fundamental blunder, but it can't be worse than the Japanese "interpretations," ie. borrowing some names, relevance be damned.

Just browsing around the site -- abortions like Alone in the Dark and Shadowrun got 1000-1200 word reviews. The Too Human review is barely 600.

duckman2000 · « **Reply #72 on:** August 18, 2008, 03:31:01 PM »

Fair enough. It still reads like any other 1up review to me, equally as bad as most other reviews on that site when it comes to being a buyer's guide. And I'm not also not getting why it's assumed that a "high profile" game should automatically get a longer, more "fleshed out" review than smaller, less anticipated titles. I'm not going to argue that this is not what it usually is like, but it's not something that reasonable people should ask for. Unless of course they have no real use for the review other than as more reading material for an anticipated game. If anything, the less known title should get more coverage, to offer more information on the game.

If you don't have new release in your Q on it's ship date, you will be looking at a long wait. What I'm saying is, if you join Gamefly later this week, it's going to take them a few days to get your copy of Too Human in the mail.

IGN review

Quote

7.5 Presentation
The story has its moments and is woven into the game well, but that’s the extent of it.

8.0 Graphics
Streaming everything to do away with load times does come with its drawbacks, but the art design is quite good.

9.0 Sound
Excellent voice acting and music, only slightly marred by a few sound bugs and repetitive battle chatter.

7.5 Gameplay
Deep customization options and heaven for loot drop fans. The forgiving death system and auto-scaling enemies make the combat feel unrewarding.

7.5 Lasting Appeal
If you get hooked, you’ll be here for months. People who don’t love collecting random loot won’t get hooked.

7.8

http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/899/899826p1.html

What the hell is "art design" anyway? Is it supposed to refer to artistic value, quality and craftsmanship?

If it wasn't obvious already that IGN was grasping for ways to not give this game shit, here is another good one:

The animations aren't the smoothest, but the visuals look crisp, especially when you consider how much of this game is streamed in the background to do away with load screens.

I haven't read the IGN review, but that sounds pretty fair to me - from the demo it struck me as a 7/10 game. As in it's OK, some might like it, but it's far from great.

Art design is, uh, art design. It refers more to cohesiveness of vision rather than component parts.

Seems like a bastard term to me, though. Until it started showing up in game reviews and previews, I had literally never heard anyone combine the two like that. I think I almost preferred it when "art direction" was the most often misused catch-all phrase.
