What about 1up's C-?

That's what? 60%, or something? Not great, by any measure. Still, it scraped a pass, I suppose.

A comparison to Haze has never been made in these forums before...
Nor has Too Human ever been slagged...
Seriously, let's wait and see... Some previews love the game, some hate it with passion... With Haze, previews I didn't see any love, and all were very cautious. I expect Too Human to be in the low 70 - high 70 range at Metacritic...
One thing for certain, Too Human will outsell Haze based on the rumoured pre-orders... And Microsoft already signed SK up for the sequels, so they must see something in the series...
Too Human, probably won't flop. Then again lots of people weren't thrilled by the demo which could lead to lower sales. I myself didn't like the demo and won't be purchasing it.

well that just changes everything then.
I think Too Human will be WAY better then Haze. Although I agree that this game is comparable with Haze in the sence that 1) The track-record of the developer is great. And 2) The first hands-ons seemed to be promising and later on they would kind-of suck...
Why Too Human will be better then Haze?!... Haze is just a generic shooter which is really behind it's time. Too Human is being bashed by loads of people that have yet to play the game because of it's 'different' control-scheme (note: the two analog stick fighting-controls). Also, people complain about the graphics... Which I think is B.S because the game seems to look fine to me!... And I don't hear people complain about games from EA all the time (Army of Two, Fifa, Need For Speed... They all don't look as good as they could on the systems). I'm using EA as an example now, but I mean the 'rest' of the 3rd-party developers, ofcourse.
Overall: Dennis Dyack and Silicon Knights are known as perfectionists and real innovators in the industry. Only popping out a game once every ~4-5 years and making it really 'different' then other offerings at that time. I think people just aren't used to the new things Silicon Knights is introducing with Too Human. Some might not like it, some just might! That's why you get the mixed-feelings from people who've played the demo and the mixed reviews all across the board. Reviewers are just people who have an opinion on something (some game) which doesn't necessarly correspond with the rest of the audience.
So: Too Human is going to be good (or not) according to what you expect of it and how you like the things Silicon Knights introduces. The basics of these 'things' seem to be not badly incorporated into the game, so it comes down to taste!
I recon, although the game might receive mixed reviews, it will eventually get some kind of cult-status.
EDIT: And sell quite decent... Although not astounding!

I just checked it up. It appears a C- is 42% according to Metacritic. So, 1up gave Too Human 42%. Ouch! Still, Haze received a D+, so it's not all bad.
:D
It'll probably be flop critically (if the initial reviews are to be believed), but it'll sell well enough to warrent the completion and release of the trilogy.
I liked the demo and I'll be picking it up for sure. I don't think it will sell through the roof though but didn't Haze see decent sales at first.

Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.
