Nice Short Expansion to Original

If you liked Titan Quest, you'll like this. It's got two new Masteries to learn if you like. The environments are good looking. There is a caravan option to save stuff you want to keep or transfer to another character you have. And there are new artifacts that you can create from items in the world adding some replayablility of old areas in search of items (Like other artifacts to make, certian relics or charms). Also very helpful is the ability to split your favorite item from it's charm/relic, the trade off is that you loose the other part (ie pick to save the item you loose the relic/charm, and vise-versa). Only down side I can think if is what seems to be difficulity that's slightly off. My character that had finished Epic level before the expansion, was kind of underleveled on the Epic level of the expansion. Some bosses need you to find gear just to fight them (like all Poision resistance gear) or it's almost instant death. It adds some more thinking to the game, though this game plays more of a straight hack and slash on rails. You get side quests, but as long as you head down the main path you'll complete most of them with little exploration. (prob only a dozen side paths, the rest is a stright one way through walk). Graphics look great, action is satastifying, and the new features gives it some life again for old players. Play the first game, if you like it, the expansion adds some more depth for added enjoyment.

The nice full Game

The original game was quite good. Good graphics, enjoyable game play, relics/charms and masteries to make unique characters. It's a straight forward hack and slash game that is very liner and an ok story. The expansion not only adds one more Act (to the originals 3 Acts) but also adds two new masteries, a new Artifact system, a place to store items for later (or transfer to another character you have), and the ability to seperate placed relic/charm. These changes really fill out the original game and make an even better experience. At the cost of the Gold edition this is the way to go if you are buying Titan Quest for the firs time. The down side is that you can't save your progress anywhere. You can save your character and loot, but not your progress. You have to reach the next rebirth fountian to be able to come back to that place. On the plus side they are normally pretty close together so you don't have to back track alot. Also you are on rails, which can be a plus and a minus. It's meant to be a stright through action point A to point B game. It's a really good one at that. But in a environment where most games like it have more freedom in thier worlds, places to explore and side quests that really are out of the main quests way, you end up coming to expect more from your RPG/Action game. But what this game aims to do it does well. And I've enjoyed both the original and the expansion.
