I am a huge fan of Titan Quest and THQ, the company that makes it. I love the expansion, and I say that having not even played in the new location yet! They added to the game so many cool new features. This game already had huge replayability, and now it is even more so. Awesome enhancements include:

- New "Dream" specialty - it's great, I'm using it
- More inventory space...you can now collect sets of items and suit up for different battles
- You can share items between your characters - this adds HUGELY to replayability, as when adventuring as one character, you can pick up an item that your other character can use
- My character now leaves footprints in the snow. Fricking footprints.
- Drops are now way better, much easier to get the specialty items
- You can separate relics from items (it can be expensive though, as it should be)
- You now find "formulae", which is a formula to make a charm that goes in a new inventory slot. You have to find all the ingredients and then pay money to get it made.
- They added commas to your gold total, so you can read it now
- They added a pop up clock so you can see what time it is

I mention those last two enhancements because they show the company really listens and takes the time to put in the little touches. That and I've surprised myself how often I use the clock.

I realize this review sounds like I work for the company. I am just a big fan. I'm sorry to hear the other reviewer had problems with it crashing. I have played the expansion probably 7-10 hours so far, and have only frozen once...the expansion is brand new, though, I'm sure they'll iron out the kinks in an update. I have a Core 2 Duo, 2 gigs ram, and an ATI 1900XTX, and I play at 1280x1024 with everything maxed.

I hope THQ keeps making updates and new releases of this game!

If you like Diablo or the Titan Quest, this game is for you

Like Diablo II and following the original Titan Quest, comes this expansion. Not only is it more content, new mastery, new monsters, new chapter, new stuffs along with it, it also give a few much needed fixes like one can not pick up stuff unless you press a certain key and better chance of set/unique/scroll drops.

Yes, some have complained of the high price on this expansion, which is only 1/3 of the original game, yet cost just as much as the original. But seeing how much work one has to put into to balance the game out by adding a new mastery, tweaking, and such, I think it is worth it. Heck, if you enjoy such games, you got to support the game developers.

You have got to get a fast machine with fast card to turn on all the high settings. I got an old Dell with dual 2.8GHz, 1.5 Gb RAM, and an ATI X1900 card. I am playing with most of the high setting on and it is simply beautiful. The details of the characters, gears, monsters, effects are stunning visually.

Lastly, new to the game are some east eggs. Few people dislike them. But I for one, like them. Reading those useless yet funny scrolls somehow give those poor monsters human characters.

Overall, I highly recommend it. But beware, it is very addicting.

A great add-on to the original. They clearly listened to suggestions from their user groups.

If you like TQ, you'll love the expansion

Loads of new items, a new mastery, more critters, etc... make this expansion worth every penny. Dream Mastery is awesome.

It had been awhile since I'd played this game. I first played it after most of the patches were released and stopped after completing the game on normal difficulty with an Assassin class character. I purchased the expansion right when it came out and was quite impressed. I won't go through the details since other reviewers have painstakingly done so already with great accuracy. I just found the game played better and the little things like footprints and the addition with the experience bar, while not actually adding to the gameplay, just makes it that much funner. A work of passion as you might say, they want it to be (for what it is) the best at what it does. It shows in this expansion. Yes, you need to finish the original game to play the expansion. There are plenty of NEW areas to play in the original if you haven't completed those yet. I would still recommend the expansion even if you haven't completed the original game yet because it patches the original to 1.3 and gives more extensive drops from the monsters and chests. I really liked Hades and the darker feel of the game, without being overyly devilish in anyway. Just more of a creepy dungeon crawl then the original. This game is no Diablo II but is original enough in the skill system to warranty playing. I haven't played World of Warcraft but the skill system, from people I've talked to who have, is probably somewhere between D2 and WOW. It copies that game some, but then, who wouldn't? It's a defining game in the MMO genre. This is more of a single player game but I don't see how that's a bad thing. The game actually finishes without requiring 3 years of subscription to fully explore while still being long enough to give you all the gameplay you ever wanted. You can actually get to a high enough level to have a truly established character before going to the next difficulty level (epic and legendary). Epic difficulty is easier at first because of the extra experience the expansion gives you but the difficulty goes up as you play. I find that the environment really gets me into this game. In the orient, I actually feel like I'm walking through a wilderness on vacation somewhere, just need to get past a few monsters to enjoy the scenery (more then a few). Great game, buy it if you liked the original. If you've already patched the original and it didn't work, this won't either. The game does seem to be very sensitive. I had to really tweak my system to get it running well, but it was worth it. For those who don't know how, hopefully it works right the first time.

Keep coming back to this great game

My husband and I love this game -- he normally plays shooters and I play Wow and now LoTR, but we always fire up this game at some point during the week. Pros: Artwork is amazing, the storyline is complete, lots of hidden goodies and easter eggs
Cons: a couple of minor graphical glitches and the sound is still wonky on some sound cards.

More than just an add-on!

For those of you who have played Titan Quest and wondered about certain "improvements" that were missed when Titan Quest appeared a couple of years back, Immortal Throne addresses those issues quite nicely. The additions (caravans, being able to separate relics from items, auto sort buttons) are very welcome and make the game that much better. The minor but necessary improvements as a whole make Titan Quest a much more playable game, however, those looking for a radically different game will be disappointed. There are new monsters and a new quest, but the game is still Titan Quest. I recommend to all those that have played this game to go out and buy the expansion as soon as possible. Overall, it makes Titan Quest a much more enjoyable experience.

Excellent expansion pack with tons of updates

Being a fan of Diablo II, I naturally found Titan Quest to be a great game. Along the same lines, I find this expansion pack to be an par with the LoD expansion for Diablo II. Besides the extra "Act" in the game, there are tons of subtle and not so subtle changes and updates. The developers really seemed to listen to complaints about the original and addressed problems with things like inventory space and new items to spend gold on. The new Dream mastery seems to have skills to fit a melee or ranged character (the Summon Nightmare is fantastic) . I even liked the small addition of a real-time clock that you can mouse over to in order to prevent losing track of time and staying up all hours of the night trying to get to the next save fountain. All in all, I must say that I'm very pleased with this expansion and would recommend it to any fan of the original Titan Quest. The only complaints I can think of are that the extra act could have been a bit longer and it took quite a long time to complete the installation.

EXCELLENT MYTHOLOGY & GREAT FUN - - - THE FUN CONTINUES !!

Sure TITAN QUEST was what Diablo3 would have looked like - but this cannot be a bad thing! And now we have its EXCELLENT Expansion...

Quite realistic graphics achieved even on medium range PCs (a 3year old machine with only the video card upgraded to a 7600GT and an extra 1GB RAM can run it with everything on HIGH). Keep in mind thought that the expansion is more demanding than the original TITAN QUEST. If your PC barely handled the original it will run into problems with IMMORTAL THRONE - especially in Hades where the green glares increase the requirements.
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 (mostly Greek) Mythology, CORRECTLY told for once. No ...Zena defending against the invading Persians by Leonidas side, saving baby-Jesus and laying waste with Jenkins-Han's hordes, all in one wrap!

There is no "official 20-sided dice" getting thrown somewhere in the background - do you really care? Hack, slash and destroy. Loot, sell and buy. Repeat as needed.

Where it misses the 5th Star: the game seems to run into Slow/Catching-up episodes with no pattern or warning. Lowering the graphics does not seem to help. I guess there is in need of a Patch. It does not occur often though, hence not a major complaint. Also, a bit short for such a huge original game.

You will surely enjoy it! GREAT FUN!!!
