  1. It has something for everyone, including new players and those who simply want to raise their characters to the new level cap.

    If you loved the first then this is a must. As for everyone else who still hasn’t experienced Titan Quest, now is a better time than ever. An excellent expansion to an excellent game.
  3. As an expansion pack it fulfils the role beautifully, bringing in features and elements that were sorely lacking from the original in terms of character management.
  4. It's simply a tale of new areas and new monsters to left-click on with whatever over-powered kill-stick you have in your inventory. [Apr 2007, p.66]

  1. Complete requisite for TQ, improves the game 100%. New features, items, shops, options, and a new land that will truly challenge you. Honestly, the new map is nearly too difficult. Other than that, there's nothing really negative here for fans of ARPG. This expansion puts it clearly marks above Diablo 2. The developers are coming back with an independently published game set to improve everything about TQ, which I feel will be better than activision's cash-in on Diablo. Expand
  2. Ah, the beautiful expansion to an already amazing game. Titan Quest is great, but it pales in comparison to Titan Quest: Immortal Throne. Now on top of the original three acts (Greece, Egypt and Orient) you have another act, and it's the longest one too, and also the most atmospheric and challenging. Act 4 takes the player into the Underworld, the realm of Hades himself. The original game featured a good soundtrack, but a lot of the time those played during key parts of the game. Now however even the ordinary areas are filled with beautiful music. The NPCs now are more animated, they actually call out to you when they see you. The AI of the monsters has been improved from the original - the archers for example now will tend to run away from you once you damage them.

    Immortal Throne also introduces a new mastery to the game, now giving 9 masteries, and hence 45 different character classes! As well as a new act and a mastery, many other elements are added too, such as a whole arsenal of new weapons and armor, and also the ability to reclaim some of the lost experience points upon dying. I'll admit, Titan Quest and Immortal Throne aren't for everyone. However for fans of adventure RPG games this game is more than satisfactory. If you like swords and magic, as well as ancient mythology, there is no excuse to pass this game. Just remember to buy and install the original first and then switch to Immortal Throne (IT still contains everything the original had, so there is no reason to go back to the original EVER). Though many bugs have been fixed since the original, there are still a handful present. But those have been fixed by a fanpatch 1.17.

  3. Immortal Throne is a necessity, if you intend on playing Titan Quest. As soon as the new act begins, you will notice that your enemies are much tougher here. The addition of caravans, artifacts, and enchanters make this expansion a must-have. There is also a new skills mastery that was added, which in turn adds eight new playable character classes. All in all, Immortal Throne completes Titan Quest in all fathomable ways. The new hero monsters and bosses are also more difficult, and a few of them even boasts creepy voice actors. There are a couple long-winded quests that were added, as well as a frustrating one. If this is the intended difficulty on the Normal level, I have no interest in playing in the more difficult settings. The difficulty can be quite overwhelming at times. Especially with the ill-conceived save system, forcing one to only use rebirth fountains. In the end, Immortal Throne should be considered part of Titan Quest, and not a mere expansion. It truly brings finality to the story, and leaves you with a sense of accomplishment. The end credits music did not fit the setting of the game at all, as it was a bad Metal song. It took me about 18 hours to complete. Expand

    I bought it and my pc met the minimum requirements and it wouldn't play. Same for my woman's comp. Too high of requirements for a 20 dollar game. :/ Looked good though. Expand
