The American Wired technology magazine played through Too Human recently. To quote their impression: “But for that sort of player who enjoys playing through a game once to see the story and get the experience, Too Human will end long before its time and with not nearly enough payoff for all the story exposition. And it’s an uneven 10 hours at best: Sometimes I had a great time mowing down enemies and racking up combos, but sometimes the gameplay just felt frustrating and/or repetitive.”

Expanding on his speed run time, the writer said: “If you’re so inclined, you can slam through Too Human’s campaign in a little more than 10 hours, and the story of cybernetically enhanced Norse gods ends with a cliffhanger.” Not a surprise with it being planned as a trilogy and Denis Dyack commenting in the past that: “If we’re going to craft an epic story we decided we had to divide it into manageable chunks for the consumer.”

Denis Dyack’s blog just showed a Too Human completion screenshot of him taking the time to get to 100% of the game in his last playthrough. The statistics screen puts the game length at over 17 hours. — Too Human will be released for Xbox 360 on August 19th, 2008.
