Titan Quest Review

Shipping this week is Titan Quest, Iron Lore's action RPG which has a lot of people excited though also concerned it is little more than a Diablo clone. David reviewed the game for us and says sure, the game is very similar to Diablo 2 in a lot of ways. But that is hardly a bad thing
Just in case some of you Shackers are afraid of commitment, there are a couple of ways that you can actually retract skill points, which is quite a handy feature. The first of which is with the Undo button. When you level up and spend a point on a skill, the Undo button lights up. Let's say you accidentally clicked a spell you have no further use for, or perhaps didn't even want in the first place. Click Undo, and you get your skill point back. Here's the catch: once you close the Skill window, Undo can no longer be used. Plan and spend wisely! But not too wisely, it would seem. Scattered throughout the game are Mystics, who, for a price, can give you your spent skill points back. The more you retrieve, the more you'll have to spend, but it's nice to know you can work on other more advanced skills if you find those early game skills are no longer serving their intended purpose.

    i'm currently in legendary mode with my warrior in this game and here are my conclusions......
    CONS
    1) this game is tedious and slow-paced and cool-item drops are hard....
    (my cus lost his save files and he decided not to play the game again because it would be to tedious to start over EVEN with a different character!!!)
    2) limited item types-meaning each type of weapon usually have a certain set of abilities stuck to them ergo...axe of reckless power...mace of reckless power...bow of reckless power..and so-on.
    3) weak runes system compared to diablo II in-that when you complete a difficulty level you might as well throw away your runes as "ugraded" versions are found in higher difficulties, diablo II had runewords which is more interesting to tinker around with...
    4) as the reveiwer said * there isnt much thinking needed with battlin monster* all you just to is run up to guys, hold down your left mouse key and press potions if necessary and 95% of the time thats all you have to do!!!!
    5) weak ass storyline you will so not be interested, after a while you'll just bypass everything so you can get your mission quickly......
    6) watered down version of DiabloII

    PROs
    1) character customization- 5 stars in my book
    2) epic monsters to fight in higher difficulties--small factor but good..
    3) streamlined alot of stuff that was kinda tedious in Diablo II
    e.g. running, portal scrolls etc..

    ina nutshell i still did enjoy the game but its not a diabloII killer, reveiwer is right about diablo three though that might come out after i die...
