After all the controversy that has surrounded the game, gamers can finally give Too Human a shot for themselves. While it's possible that the demo of the Norse inspired dungeon crawler might not give one the full flavor of the game considering how story and loot driven the experience is supposed to be. Still, something is better than nothing, especially with a game that has been so divisive as this one. The demo is 1.1 gigs and is online now.

Finally, the Too Human demo has come to Xbox Live! I just hope it even comes close to being worth the wait.

It's only the campaign, and you can only play as the Champion :(

pretty dissapointing game, the gameplay mechanics needs to be completely redefined. I don't like the way they execute the whole sword and gunfight mechanics, they suck at imitating Devil May Cry.

Seriously, this game is amazing. How you can compare this to DMC4 I do not know. I went into this with lower expectations because of the iffyness of previews lately, but I thought it was absolute amazing.
The combat was fun as hell (juggling + sliding = WIN), the graphics are great, the controls are great (once you get used to them, the Right Analogue Stick took some getting used to but I love it now) and .. I've just been really impressed.
Preordering it definetely now. How you can say it's trying to "imitate" DMC I don't know - it's not an ACTION game, it's an RPG dungeon crawler.

Mr. McDuck, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

I'm pretty disappointed. Controls are akward, camera angles are bad, making melee hard. The menu screen is slow and clumsy.

Definitely a Hybrid RPG/Action Game Mechanic. It maintains combat simple enough so that non-action fans can get into it, but with enough simple "thrills" (Look, enemies float and can be juggled!) to make it more appealing to look at.
And I have to say, I'm happy to see Location based Damage on large enemies! I wish it was available on smaller enemies too, but I can see how that'd be a pain, with as many small enemies on screen as they have.
Baldur is voiced by Crispin Freeman, and that rocks, because he has a wonderfully epic voice. And he probably is really into this type of story, as well. So one can expect good acting from him.
The graphics... remind me of almost every big Xbox 360 game, lol. It feels very Mass Effect like, though probably a bit less over-detailed, especially with character details, like defining the skin. Gameplay runs at a solid framerate, even if cinematics looks a bit off framerate wise.
This already feels like a small-time classic. It's story and presentation should be JUST different enough to make it gather a fanbase. I still wish the combat had a bit more life to it, special effect wise, but that's just a stylistic thing.
It'd definitely worth at LEAST trying out, and it's a sizable demo, so it's a good taste of what's to come!

Question.. does it start you out at the beginning, pre powers, like the Bioshock demo? or more of the accelerated leveling up as the Crackdown demo?

I believe it's the beginning of the game.

It's a mix. You start out with low grade armour, weapons and skill, but you level VERY quickly. I ended up at lvl 8 from the demo, and half way down the skill tree for Aerial Combat.
You also get better armour as you go along too.

You start out at level 1, and make it to lvl 7 by the demos end. You have to progress up the skill tree yourself, and you can make it to the 4th bump on the tree before the demo ends. There are 3 paths on the tree, that all end at the same destination. This final skill doesn't look to be possible to get in the demo, unless there's some backtracking I missed.
