This probably has to be my favorite game. I've been playing it since it first came out, and repurchased the discs whenever something happened to them. I think, Titan Quest far exceeds Immortal Thrones by a long shot. The reason being with IM I spent a lot of time grinding for runes and relics that never appeared, plus mobs were fun and challenging, but I always had my butt handed to me by the bosses starting on Epic difficulty. That's where I found out I built my character wrong. So once again when TQ went on sale I had to get it. In some ways it's the simpler game than Immortal Throne, but more fun, especially with TQ Vault and TQ Defiler not working well with TQ anymore, but were essential to IM. This will most certainly make TQ more challenging.

Absolutely marvellous game. Had this since it originally game out, but my retail copy became damaged recently.

Just love the concept of running around slapping near-god-like creatures in historic-like locations. Farming gear sets and the multiplayer is fun too ;)

Really hoping someone picks up the franchise and develops TQ2 :)

Great game! The best quality of hack'n'slash genre, with good mechanics, interesting skills you can obtain, various monsters and very serious quantity of equipment. Do not forget to add mythic flavour and you get many hours of gameplay.

Awesome game that is arguably a Diablo clone, it does it well though. There aren't too many mods and the use of a fanpatch makes a big difference, online play is seemingly dying; or dead to be more correct. Otherwise a fun game with a decent single-player experience.

Great Diablo clone set in Greek mythology. Beautiful environment and sound is top notch.

It gets a little repetitive to be sure, but stick to it, this is a great action-adventure game.

The game is fun to play and naturally we all want to compare it to Diablo. The fact is Diablo is the pioneer and nothing will ever be better than it. That said, TQ is more of the same, but in a different delivery. The setting is one based in mythology. The story is good and intriguing. The graphics and sound are decent. There is no randomness in the maps, however, and I think that is something that could be improved. This discourages replayability significantly, IMO. The skill tree is nice, but there are some skills that do seem useless. It's a great game for what it is... give it a try if you are upset by Diablo 3's lack of real innovation.

I bought this game to bridge the time until Diablo 3 comes out. I might be a bit biased since I have very fond memories of Diablo 2 and was probably expecting too much. However in the end I found that Titan Quest did not live up to my expectations.

The world graphics and enemy models are well done and there is a wide variety of weapons and armor to choose from. Unfortunately the overall atmosphere of the game was too bland and the story not immersive enough to keep me interested. After the first act I even stopped reading the NPC texts since they were so generic.

One of the main aspects of a good Diablo clone is the skill tree. However in this game I didn't feel the need to level up any ability besides the two or three ones I used regularly. And most abilities seemed to have a severe downside that made them utterly unappealing.

In the end I finished the game without any sense of accomplishment and started the expansion pack since I had bought it as a package deal but did not find the motivation to play it past the first few screens.

All in all it's an okay game but the lacking arc of suspence makes the repetitive battles become boring fast and an uninteresting skill tree turns leveling up from an important motivation factor to a mere chore.

I enjoyed Titan Quest, both single player and multiplayer. The world is well-realized and appears "living" even if it is not. The skill tree is quite deep offering a variety of strategies. Graphics are very good but do come at a performance cost. People might be prone to criticize the lack of random levels but that's a non-issue for me in games like this. You run around to hack and slash creatures to bits; does it really matter if the lay of the land is different each time? While ancient mythology may not provide an original backdrop it is well integrated and fun to experience. Even when not on sale Titan Quest Gold is a ridiculously good value.

This is one of well-made RPG game with fantasy world. The video and sound are decent but not as sharp as Kings bounty. The storyline is quite similar with Dungeon Siege series but the beasts are stronger and tough to defeat. You can arrange many of your options to improve your survival. Overall, this is a good RPG game and I evaluate 8 out of 10.

Back in 1997, when Diablo opened up the floodgates of Hell a horde of Diablo clones poured forth.

To this day we've been hacking and slashing our way through them and of all of them Titan Quest has stood out as the best. It's also one of the best looking which doesn't hurt. Nobody wants to be looking at an eyesore for any length of time.

What makes it so good? Solid combat, story and setting firmly planted in existing mythology and plenty of loot. The game has no weak points and is polished in every respect. It's a real shame that the developers went out of business so soon after. They deserved so much more for this.

Titan Quest is a typical RPG with and ancient/mythological setting. This doesn't mean it is a boring game. Quite the contrary instead. Thanks to the large amount of different weapons, armour pieces, magycal objects and increasingly challenging enemies to fight, you will probably play with Titan Quest for many hours.

There is a large and still very active community online and if you are and RPG fan it is really a great game to buy.

Fans of the Diablo series will also love Titan Quest. It basically has the same formula as Diablo but with better graphics and it's safe to say the greek mythology-themed game is a great addition to the RPG genre.

Just like in Diablo, Titan Quest will lead your character from lush, green zones to the deadly wastes. You will fight harder monsters each time you progress on your journey and also the character from your single-player can also be used in the multi-player, so get your character geared up before joining the online games.

Getting the gold edition is worth more your money as you will get both Titan Quest and the Immortal Thrones expansion. RPG-lovers should definitely try this game.

Titan Quest is a beautiful game. Every area is unique and detailed; the items and skills available are highly varied and the loot-seeking game is without peer. It's a Diablolike - you walk around and kill things for better equipment - but this one is steeped in the lore of ancient civilizations. The classes are intriguingly fresh - you can combine any two of them for a staggering array of possible options - and the gameplay never quite feels as repetitive as it ought. The areas - Greece, Egypt, and China, are fun to explore, and overall the game is an amazing experience.

I stopped counting the hours I spent into this game... while it's clearly visible where THQ got the inspiration (Diablo), I don't really care; they made a very good hack and slash rpg which looks much nicer then diablo2 and offers more customization (second class, how I love making combinations!, talismans, sockets (which are easily removable!)...), while the item fever and battling endless streams of monsters are still there; the story is minimal, which is quite usual for this type of game; however, I really enjoyed the mythological setting providing you with monsters like the satyrs, gorgons and so on, making it a bit more 'realistic' then diablo;

overall a very solid game, but don't expect to get much sleep after you start playing it!

Didn't expect too much from the game, but when it was installed I found it to be a really great game. I actually prefer this one over Diablo.

Love the equipment "customization", although some of the full talismans are too hard to get.

Seems difficult at some parts but tactical thinking is gonna help you over those.

It's cheap and it's a good game so I suggest everyone who likes computer-RPGs to give it a try.

Since the success of Diablo, many other developers have tried to copy Blizzard’s success formula; Titan Quest is one of the best of these attempts. Make no mistake, this is a Diablo 2 clone, but it is also so much more. The game features several classes, and you can even choose a second class, which gives a high number of different possibilities. Even though you will most likely only use your primary class. The game provides a solid hack n’ slash gameplay, whit tons of equipment, skills and spells, its fun, but not something you haven’t seen before.

The story is classical; a young unknown hero starts in a little Greece village, and rises up as hero, ending with saving the whole world. It’s very cliché, but it is satisfying for a hack n’ slash game. It stays true to Greece mythology, which is great as it make it more unique compared to most other hack n’ slash games.

The presentation is where this game really shines, the games is beautiful, and is both technical and art wise impressive, this is where the game really differs from Diablo and other hack n’ slash games. At last the game has a good, but not special, soundtrack which does its job.

This is a very solid game. As mentioned by others, it shares a lot of features which Diablo had. You could even go as far as say it's a Diablo clone. But the game is much more than a clone. It took what's good and what we liked in Diablo, added more interesting features, and as a result, it's probably the Diablo 2.5 set in Greece and thereabouts.

The story is fun to follow if you know mythology more or less. Later on the game sets on a quest "how to break the whole mythology" much in the vein of God of War where the main character kills pretty much any major mythological figure standing in his path.

It's fun though. It's very fun and despite being linear, spawns are random, loot is random, only the path and quests stay the same.

To add replayability there are 3 difficulty settings which you unlock after beating the game.

Personally, I'm playing this game with a friend in co-op and it's much more fun this way. We can discuss silly plot ideas and in general have fun. It's also more fun when you have to fight over your loot with your buddy :D

Gameplaywise? A solid title.

Ragdoll physics add a lot of fun to mindless slaughter. There are potions to restore your health and mana. Your main weapon you get to choose from swords, spears, axes, bows, staves, daggers. The backpack is rather small, but there are free teleports which you can cast anywhere to go back to the city and sell your stuff.

My only gripe with this title is that without Immortal Throne it is a bit incomplete. The add-on includes many important features to the game such as caravans to store your goods you want to keep for later but don't want to carry around, and artefacts which boost your abilities.

Titan Quest is a pretty good game for those who love hack and slash or ARPG games. The action is not as fast paced as it is in diablo II or in sacred, however, this is outweighted with beatiful graphics and landscapes and an intriguing story based on mythology. The only aspect I miss when playing this game compared to other hack and slash games is the lack of a good multiplayer with dedicated servers.

Titan Quest is a mix between to good games, Diablo and Dungeon Siege. Much like Diablo you play as one of many classes (which you choose later) and play is primarily solo. However the combat is considerably slower than say Diablo 2, which makes the game feel around the pace of Dungeon Siege. So Titan Quest combines parts from two great games to form a great game itself. It gives many options when it comes to classes and has a very good combat system, although it is a tad slow.

Basically if you love Diablo and Baldurs Gate you will love this game.

Graphically pleasing to the eye even though it is a few years old now and as a bonus works great with Vista.

To be honist i cant fault it. It is pleasing to play and quite simple ( handy if you are a beginner at this type of game)and the story keeps you interested especially with all the mythological creatures from Greek history. Over all a must own.

At its heart Titan Quest is one of the simplest games anyone can play. Left click to move, left click to attack. Playing Titan Quest you will click feverishly and frequently, the number of clicks by game end as hard to determine as the number of grains of sand on a beach. But surrounding Titan Quest's heart are several layers of thoughtful game play and character development, all simmering in a rich broth of foes, items, armor and weapons.

At first, I was almost misled into thinking this was going to be one of the most boring click-fests in gaming history. That was before I figured out that you don't have to just sit still and click like mad at the swarms of enemies you encounter. I found the game was a bit more interesting and exciting as I began to maneuver my character, weaving in and out of enemies, luring them into traps, and dodging their blows. I also began to use a bit of strategy, instead of just blundering along and hacking away at foes I'd scout the area, determine my approach, assess the enemy and pick a suitable weapon to deal with them, isolate them into separate groups I could take on one at a time. In short try to shape the coming encounter to my liking. It was also fun to discover what weapons were most effective against a given enemy, a task that is delightfully daunting given the sheer number of both. There is an amazing array of creatures to combat, and an equally amazing array of weaponry to do it with. For a pack rat like me, perhaps the hardest part of the game was having to abandon a cherished piece of equipment because I found another even more cherished item and I no longer had room in my inventory!

While quite linear and in reality confined, the maps have an expansive feel and are detailed right down to the chickens scratching the ground looking for seed or the supplicating dog wagging it's tail. Your in for a panoramic treat as you waltz your way through the mythology inspired landscapes, which include locations in Greece, Egypt and The Orient, each with their own variety of plant life, architecture and creatures. Graphically the game could hardly be better, and the sounds, both ambient and game related are top notch as well.

Voice acting is quite good, and the creatures all have distinctive grunts or squeals, weapons have their own audio signature as well. Every so often you will encounter a storyteller character, and if you are so inclined you can listen to them spin a brief yarn of Greek drama.

Multiplayer is fun, and it's a game the whole family and all but the youngest age groups can enjoy. You play in cooperative mode and run through the campaign as a party, with each member benefiting from each others skill sets. This aspect makes multiplayer even more interesting as a party can consist of different and complimentary character classes.

Titan Quest does have a few downsides. First, a robust machine is required to run it. Even high end machines can experience a few hiccups.

Titan Quest is a great game.

It has everything "diablo" had and bundles more.

It has nice graphics, good gameplay, nice music score, good keyset layout and an intuitive interface, that other developers should copy wildly.

The only thing about the interface is the lack of "turning around" with the camera option like "sacred 2".

A vast amount of stuff to loot, lovely.

Nice implementation of modifiers too.

The story and the parts is somewhat linear and straight - forward, but it is a good story.

IF you, like me, love the old-school loot-and-run formula, this is the game for you.

M80

I purchased the gold edition (which includes the original and the expansion).

After an initial 4.5 gig download (which took an extremely long time) I was still only able to get the game to work on 2 out of the 3 computers here. It is still unknown why it will not run on the third.

The game itself is beautiful. It is a hack and slash at it's roots, but the creators knew what they were doing.

Graphically gorgeous. The spell effects, while not state of the art to today's standards, are still pleasing to the eye. The storyline will easily reel you in as well.

Although not as frantic paced as it's counterpart (Diablo 2) this game makes up for in great climatic moments. The dual class system allow an endless number of character classes.

This is a must have for any hack and slash fan. If you are not a fan of hack and slash, so not expect anything from this you have not seen before.
