Good Game, bad crashes

Over all, if you liked Diablo, you will love this game. However, be aware that a constant problem for lots of users is the game crashing and forcing the need to reboot your machine. I love playing it, but if I go 45 minutes without a crash, I am doing well. I would strongly suggest anyone interested in this game to do a search for the game and crash or freeze, and you will find a lot of message boards discussing this problem. The developer's forums show the company acknowledges the problem, and are unsure what is causing it.

It probably plays fine for most people who own it, but I have never seen a game not in beta crash so much, nor have so many people online complaining about it as an unresolvable issue.

A little frustrating, but otherwise fun!

For the most part, Titan Quest is an extremely interesting game, with great graphics. And, with all the monsters to kill, it's great for stress relief.

For the most part.

There are a few monsters, such as the Telkines and the Dragonians, that are difficult and frustrating to kill. The first Telkine keeps regenerating his health, and I had to go online to figure out how to stop him from doing it. The second keeps multiplying himself. I've yet to get to the third.

Great Fun!

I bought this game after hearing so much good stuff about it. I played the game through and enjoyed every minute of it. My first character was a ranger type and I found the game a fun challange. After I completed, I decided to go as a mage and it was like playing an entirely new game.

I'd definitely recommend buying this game. I'm looking forward to playing the sequel.

Fun for a while...Overall good game

I thought this game was graphically impressive, but no more so than any of the other current role playing games. (It slows down running on my high-end gaming machine at some points in the game running at 1280x1024. My video cards really heat up playing this game!)

Gameplay is good, and as you progress through the game you build up your various health scores and experience levels, and are awarded new skill areas to master. Monsters are challenging for me, even on the easy setting, but maybe that is just me not having 5+ hours a day to sit and play it. Overall I would recommend it, but even more so if you are into Greek Mythology, since it has a lot has to do with that in the game. After a while the amount of monsters increases and becomes a bit overkill..I've not tried the multiplayer mode yet. For some reason it is not working with my router and I've little time to troubleshoot it.

Good Action RPG

This is a good action rpg, but doesn't have a remarkable amount of depth in terms of character or story. The gameplay, skills, and items have a good deal of depth, but this is more along the lines of an action game then a rpg. In playing the game I do not find myself having to think much, but due to the excellent action and graphics the game is enjoyable. If you like D2 like games you will get a good amount of hours our of this game, but if you are looking for more RPG depth you will be bored quickly.

Terrific Dungeon-crawler

If you have played the Dungeon Siege games, as I have, and liked them, as I did, then this one is a no-brainer. It's more of the same type of fast-paced RPG combat, and the graphics are terrific. There is actually a bit of a story to this one that I found to be more interesting than DS or even Diablo.

Titan Quest - Wildly Addictive

I've only had this for a month and Titan Quest is an awesomely addictive game. If role-playing, first-person games are your venue, I believe you will love this game. I have had a hard time putting it down. One thing I noticed: if you leave the game and start it back up, you have to battle monsters in areas that you already had cleared out. [However, this is a nice way to pick up points so you can reach a fast-approaching level, if you are getting stomped by the local Boss and need a little more MoJo.] If I just minimize the game and do all my other computer-necessary things [such as online bill paying, e-mailing, etc.], I don't have to clear the monsters when I retrace my steps [such as unloading "treasure" and other goodies]. The play tends to be pretty linear. You must go through one area (like you are on a track) before you can get to the next. There are plenty of Side Quests, but you can only go one way to progress through the game. Hack and slash, follow the path to go on to the next area so you can hack and slash again. [But that is one of the main points for this type of game, isn't it - hack and slash?] I know I would be frustrated if there were so many tracks that you get lost too often, so I am of a mixed opinion on this point. This is a minor matter, in my view. Overall, I would give two thumbs up, five stars, A++++, or whatever other top marks you might give a game. If you liked Age of Empires, Warcraft or Warlords Battlecry, you should love this game. Thanks!

EXCELLENT MYTHOLOGY & GREAT FUN!!!

Sure this is what Diablo3 would have looked like - but this cannot be a bad thing!

Quite realistic graphics achieved even on medium range PCs (a 3year old machine with only the video card upgraded to a 7600GT can run it with everything on HIGH). I particularly liked that you can see the exact armor and weapons on your opponents and, after you killed them, everything drops for looting.

I am a great fun of D&D RPGs. In Titan Quest there is no deep background - except lots of excellent Mythology, CORRECTLY told for once. There is no "official 20-sided dice" getting thrown somewhere in the background - do you really care? Hack, slash, zap, burn and destroy. Loot, sell and buy. Repeat as needed.

You will surely enjoy it! GREAT FUN!!!

Very Addictive

My old computer wouldnt run this game so im just getting around to playing it. Very addictive and one of the better games ive played in some time. Some will say it freezes and i dont doubt some will have that problem but i will say that your system just cant keep up. I have a pretty beefy gaming rig and even with that i do get an occasional stutter but no freezing. The game is very graphically intense and the sound is also quite good. And its not a shiney short game that is so prevelent today either you can and will log many hours completing this game. One of the best.

97% Perfect!

During the first five minutes of playing Titan Quest, I thought this was going to be a lame game. But then, after reading the manual and playing for five more minutes, I was totally addicted! Titan Quest is simply awesome. The graphics are spectacular, and the gameplay leaves you wanting more. Much more. You won't want this game to end. If you're reading through game reviews looking for your next role playing game to buy, look no further. Titan Quest will completely astound you. I highly recommend this game.

Here are the Pros:
Eye candy graphics everywhere you look. Real-life visuals in the water, grass, branches, fire, smoke, dust, wind (and everything else). Enough characters and character class choices to keep you playing again, long after you've completed the game the first time. This game is huge! You won't finish this one in a few days. Plus, everything you've ever wanted in a great game can be found right here. Except... for the few (very minor) things I'm going to complain about below.

Now the Cons...
OK, I'm really going to nitpick here, because after playing this game for 70 hours or more, I feel I can tell you about the little things that bug me. And this is why I call the game only 97% perfect.

1. There is no vault or chest for you to store your stuff in. This means that you must carry everything around with you, and there are a lot of things you'll want to keep in a pretty small inventory. There are charm sets, weapon and armor sets, rings and amulets that you'll want to switch to at the needed time, and (of course) a large choice of weapons that are wonderful to bash monsters with, if only to gawk at the special effects they produce. Note: You are given a little more inventory space later in the game, but you're still carrying around stuff that could be in some chest back in town.

2. There's no arrow pointing out the direction you need to be going to get to the next point in your quest. There are multiple paths to follow in sometimes large regions. It's often easy to get turned around and find yourself right back in the same town you just left.

3. There are very few side quests. You are guided along with the main quest very well, but it's pretty rare to come across someone who needs you to find their missing daughter (etc.) I find this to be a terrible shame, because there are so many areas to explore in this large game world. I'd much rather have too many secondary quests than not enough. That way, if you play the game again, you can always tackle the quests you may have missed or not completed the first time. This can only add to the games replay ability.

4. Lastly, my biggest gripe. When items drop from a freshly killed beastie, or when you come across a chest or other item you should open to find riches and spoils of war, you won't know what they are unless you press the "Alt" key. I'm really not sure why the game designers chose to go this way. You are given options of what sort of treasures to reveal when you press the Alt key, (ranging from everything to only rare items) but you always HAVE to press the darned Alt key to see the names of the items on the ground. The only advantage to this, I guess, is that the games beautiful landscape is not constantly littered with name boxes that say something like; "slightly Cracked Monster Sword of Disability" everywhere you look, and there are TONS if items dropped and MANY containers to open. Constantly having to press the Alt key (thousands of times) just to make sure you're not missing gold or that last important magical set item that you're waiting to find gets to be really annoying, and makes your finger sore too. :)

Now, all that being said, these truly minor complaints sure haven't kept me from absolutely enjoying the living hell out of Titan Quest, and I now have a much stronger pointer finger too. If you have a decent graphics card, I guarantee you that when you arrive at your first ocean or lake shoreline you'll be running around making figure eights in the water just because it looks so freaking fantastic!!!
