A good fun hack-and-slash.... August 20, 2008
Mr. A. M. HOGG (London, UK)
As many have commented on the the pre "Gold Edition" versions of this game, this is not a Diablo 2 killer.
Although it is prettier (almost by default simply because it's much less old a game!), and has more classes etc. to play, it doesn't have the same soul. Toppling D2 is not impossible, a genre benchmarks are not all infallible. Is Half-Life the only good FPS game? Are Star Wars and Star Trek the only quality/popular sci-fi? Yes, because they are genre benchmarks, it is hard to compare sometimes, but they are there and that's that.
If Titan Quest had come a bit sooner, say within 1-4 years of D2 perhaps it would have been a closer run thing. As it is, it does not seem the most efficient of code as for the significant step up in system requirements there is not a commensurate increase in visual "wow factor".
Here's how I stack it up against Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction:-
- D2:LoD - TQ:IT
Graphics - Adequate (v.g. at the time) - Good
Sound - Good - Okay
Intro movie - Excellent - Excellent
"Outtro" - Excellent - None :(
Other movies - Good - None :(
Gameplay - Excellent & addictive. - Good. Less addictive.
Multiplayer - Excellent (some still play!)- Okay
TQ seems to fair poorly here, but do remember that D2 is much older and for all but hardcore players the multiplayer gets very difficult on the third setting ("Hell").
Summary: My third favourite (after D2 and Nox) action CRPG-lite!
