| | Professional Reviews | Worth Playing 9 of 10
[Immortal] ...I love Immortal Throne. I like to think that this isn't just my blind love of the franchise, and that it's merely observation of a well executed add-on. Just about every aspect of the game has been polished -- the multiplayer server browser is much more comprehensive now, there is a handy little real-time clock in the character window to help you keep track of how many hours you have left before the sun comes up, there are new pet options that allow you to control minion behavior, the caravan allows you to transfer items between characters so you can twink yourself (sounds dirty, doesn't it?), and there's even a convenient item filter that will prevent you from accidentally picking up vendor trash while you're clicking all over the place in a battle. Also, the music score is every bit as powerful as Titan Quest: a Hollywood film-score composition with professional quality production values. Whoever wrote this knows their music, as well as their music software. The voice acting is just as superb as before, too. In short, there is effectively nothing in Immortal Throne that isn't as good, or better, than the basic game, which makes this an absolute must-have release. There is simply no other action-RPG in existence today that's as good Titan Quest, and Immortal Throne makes the best even better. - Keith Durocher
GameShark 9 of 10
[Original] Titan Quest is admittedly a clone of Diablo, Blizzard's classic hack and slash role-playing game. It uses the same basic game mechanic of clicking the mouse until your index finger is rubbed raw as you kill wave upon wave of various monsters...However, just because a game uses the same premise as another doesn't mean it's a write-off. In fact, Titan Quest is a hell of a good time...Titan Quest is simply a beautiful game. The setting of Ancient Greece provides the backdrop but the design team at Iron Lore really manages to bring it to life. The animations are silky smooth, the magical effects crystal clear and the environment feels alive as trees sway, water ripples as you run through it and grass bends as you cut your way through a field...Titan Quest is long -- playing solo the campaign can take easily up to 40 hours to complete. That's a lot of mouse clicking, and if you're already worn out of this style of action-RPG it's doubtful that Titan Quest will re-kindle the fire simply because at its heart it is still a mouse click fest with better trappings. That said, for the rest of us, Titan Quest is an addictive, beautiful, well-designed game that is easily at the top of its genre. - William Abner
