It's a rental for me.  Demo seemed fun but not enough to buy it.  Plus, I'd rather save the $$ for Fable, Fallout 3, Gears of War 2 and maybe COD5.

Thanks,
Nelson

I am thinking about getting it...I am still on the fence about
it...even after playing the demo...any thoughts?

great, if you like seeking out loot, then Too Human is definitely for

together, making for a patchwork quilt of a game that's fraying at
the seams."

Human is a good one that's worth exploring further, just not in this
context. The game is simply schizophrenic; it attempts to be all
things to all people and never succeeds in executing any of them
well. The end result is in dire need of polish and focus, and that
doesn't solely apply to gameplay mechanics. There's absolutely no
reason why a game released in 2008 should have a bug where characters
can fall through solid ground and into some pseudoabyss. "
