I was willing to finish it

Not the best of games. The sequel in particular was disappointing. However, of all the games I have played this game was good enough for me to want to finish it. In a day where time is our most important asset this does say something. If you are looking for a game to tide your time, this can be had at a good price. If you want exceptional game play, well, depending upon what you like and don't like, this will be hit or miss for you.

Hail Flavius

Similar, but better than Diablo II

This game is very much like the Diablo games. If you are a fan of hack/slash games, you will love this. I feel that the action is just as good, the graphics are much better and to build a solid character, you need to do some thinking since the equipment options are great, so it's hard to judge which items are better than other (as some increase defense, some increase attack, so which way do you want to go ?).

The story is OK, honestly I don't pay too much attention to it. Multiplayer is fun and smooth and the higher difficulties are very challenging.

Just O.K.

I found this game too be a bite boring. Graphics where fine not great, game play a bite boring, story I like and the Greek history information interesting. Still for the price it was wroth getting to kill time.

Reason for a bite boring is you cannot save when you want and then load it from that point. It saves but loads game to a set point(which is the last fountian you had active).

A tide-over to Diablo 3

Diablo and Diablo 2 standardized the formula for top-down RPGs: You hit stuff, you pick up shinies, you level, you find more shinies while exploring more darkness and killing demonic enemies.

Titan Quest builds on that with a unique class system, ragdolls/dismemberment , very rigid graphics (but by no means the best of the best, so it will run on some slower machines).

I'll make this short...You want Diablo 3, very likely. This will tide you over, if you don't want to revisit Diablo 2 for the tenth time over (but it's an enjoyable tenth time!) -- It has class, though it is linear, and the story is relatively boring - the items are great, visual, and have an appeal like that of the areas you explore...Egyptian/Roman mostly.

The class system allows you to mix two completely different (or similar) archetypes with eachother, say, a rogue with a ranger, or a druidic nature-caster with a barbaric melee class. There are alot of possibilities, some better than others, but all manageable. It's always relatively easy to gear up whichever "spec" you choose, but casters have a harder time. Best of all, if you are unhappy with your "spec" and you made it far, and don't want to scrap the character, there are programs and mods to reverse your selection, like like a respec in World of Warcraft.

The game feels like a very long run down a maze, and there are no randomized dungeons, so the replay is a little stale, but it's always fun to play a new hybrid class.

I recommend picking it up and trying it if you've spent a large amount of time with Diablo-like games, but if you don't enjoy hack'n'slash, it may not be for you.

For those who want to play Diablo, without playing Diablo 1 or 2.

Do you find it unfair to rate a game a 1 just because your computer failed to run it? I do. So disregard the 1 star ratings. Now is this game any good. Let's get one thing straight; if you loved the Diablo series you WILL love this game. Ok that part is out of the way. This game offers 8 character masteries, but they shouldn't be considered classes. reason being that at lvl 2 you choose one of eight masteries and at level 8 you choose another one of the 7 remaing masteries. These two masteries together decide you class. This little addition to this game makes the replay value extremelty high.

There are three difficulties just like in Diablo 2. You have to play and beat the game on normal in order to unlock epic difficulty and then do the same to unlock the hardest diffilculty. You keep all your items and level when you move to the next difficulty. If you create a new character you have to start from the easiest difficulty all over again. The game will last you about 40 hours on each difficulty (with the expansion). So if you decide to play throughout every difficulty, you are looking at about 120 hours of gameplay time. if you fall in love with this game as I have, you will create a new character and do it all over again. Yes, it's the new Diablo. Yes it is great. If you are waiting for Diablo 3 and have never tried this game, go out and buy it NOW!

Great Game

Titan Quest is a great game, and i am having a wonderful time completing it. It keeps you guessing as to what is going to happen next. The graphics are great, the cinamea sequences are smooth.
My only problem is that whomever created this game put too many bug or bug like creatures in this.
Looking forward to completing the whole game.

If you like Diablo then you'll enjoy this.

Basically [...] get a game and the expansion that were both originally $30. It's a lot like Diablo only with a Greek Mythology theme. The cinema is good and the environments are much sharper and more detailed then Diablo 2. So if you like hack and slash RPGs then this is a great game to pick up. Also I have a 4-5 year old computer that runs TQ just fine with only a few moments of lag.

Try it for yourself

I generally dislike RPG's but this one has been hard to take a break from. It's easy to play, has fun bad guys and great music and sounds. Check your system requirements before buying the game so you won't have troubles like a few other reviewers. I think if they had had a chance to just play the game, their reviews would be much different. Enjoy!

Great stress relieving Action-RPG

The game is billed as an action-RPG. The number of NPC's is limited, the game is relatively linear, save some sidequests that are optional but not exactly secret since every NPC with something important to say has an exclamation point above their head. You start the game as a single hero (or heroine as is my preference) with nothing but the tunic on your back. You only get to chose male or female, no races, classes, or even differing appearances (except your tunic color). The reason I gave it four stars for an above average game is the beautifully rendered ancient worlds. If you love ancient history this game is even more fun, but even if you don't, the graphics are great. Also they have a Mastery system that is innovative and allows you to choose two separate Masteries (second at level 8) to customize and diversify your character. You can use many different weapons and are not restricted based on your Mastery but rather your attributes, (a weakling will not be wearing heavy armor, etc.) This game is all action, there is no running errands around town for this guy to get that information etc. which happens often in RPGs (I love that kind too, don't get me wrong!). You go out, kill lots (lots, seriously) of enemies, build up nice and quickly, then talk to some guys, then go out and kill some more. You can find tons of items, some ordinary, some magical, some rare and some legendary. You also can make artifacts by collecting ingredients and recipes and taking them to an enchanter.
A few more pluses, some Mastery skills allow for summoned "pets" (wolves, elementals, etc.) to help you; skill points foolishly spent can be reclaimed and reallocated with the help of a mystic and some cash. If your inventory gets a little full and you don't want to sell certain items there is a helpful caravan driver where you can store stuff and buy more room if needed. I am a fan games like Baldurs' Gate, Neverwinter Nights, etc. so this game was a departure from that more in depth style of RPG, but I still found it fun and the price was right so I would definitely recommend it for some stress-relieving hacking action.

I am not much on games usually. My husband wanted to try it out as it sounded interesting. It is as much fun to watch him play as it is for me to play myself. Creating characters with different attributes and combinations is spiffy. Even for the novice player, it is not very hard to pick up the concepts of staying alive and moving forward. I have a terrible sense of direction so the map is a lovely thing to have so I don't spend all day wandering about and retracing my steps. The game is addicting so it helps to keep a clock handy. We don't play online with others so I cannot speak to that. I do like this one tho.
