Hey dude,

Thanks for the heads up re the classes - not sure how that got in there! Fixed.

I'll try and answer your and anyone elses questions here on Too Human - a review can only be so long so we can't go into massive detail that you'd find in a FAQ for example. Got any specific questions?

Thanks Wes. Six classes though? Five surely?

I'm glad you found that 'addictive' loot quality that's making me want to get my hands on this game, for me that alone adds a couple of points to the score. Also, you mention on page 1 about Baldur getting rescued from Helheim, for those that know Norse Myth this is a completely unexpected departure from the original lore and an incredibly exciting turn of events which makes us wonder what brilliance they're going to come up with next in the plot. I guess that's only a biggie for Norse Myth scholars though.

Overall, for me the highlights far outweigh the lowlights, things like 2-player co-op (not worried) and 15 second unskippable death animations (teaches me not to get killed in the first place) are far surpassed by the loot incentive, so it's a must buy from my perspective.

I would have loved to hear more about the changing setups of enemy formations when you replay a previous level, polarities, procs, timed arenas, more about the Aesir Hub facilities and a host of other things that followers of the game have known about for a while, but I guess really I'm asking for more of a walkthrough than a review in that regard.

It's great to hear about the different sound effects you get when you finally get a phat piece of loot, first time I've read about that anywhere, gratz on your redz :) Congratulations also on those 4 achievments you got the other day too, nice to see you still playing the game half a week after the review got finished.

Now I've got 10 days to kill before it gets released over here in Blighty. Hmm... Diablo II or Monster Hunter? *Goes off to hunt some loot*
