In Immortal Throne, you visit all sorts of people and places. In Titan Quest, a storyteller would tell you about somebody like Herakles, but you'd never actually meet him or go anywhere where he'd had his adventures. First and foremost, they got the characters from Greek mythology more involved in the story. Iron Lore Entertainment did two important things to make it better. I actually enjoyed this new act to the campaign more than I thought I would. Now, your character has already killed telkines and titans and thousands of other enemies, but a god is another matter entirely, and so along the way you have to get help from heroes and other figures from Greek mythology, you have to complete numerous quests, and you generally have to gain enough experience to make your character powerful enough to withstand the final battle. That means you first have to find a way to enter the underworld, and then, once there, you have to defeat an actual god. His plan? To replace Zeus as the top god in the pantheon, and to make the world a darker, less forgiving place. You start out in the city of Rhodes, and you immediately learn that Hades has taken advantage of the strife on the surface to make a grab for power. The Campaign Titan Quest: Immortal Throne picks up where Titan Quest left off. But if, like me, you didn't particularly like Titan Quest, or if it was merely an adequate way to kill 30 hours of time, is Immortal Throne something you'd want to buy? Surprisingly, I'd say the answer is yes. It also adds lots of new features to make the game friendlier to play, including a caravan driver who can transfer items between your characters. The expansion pack adds a new act to the campaign, complete with new monsters, bosses, and quests. Now Iron Lore and THQ are back with an expansion pack for Titan Quest called Titan Quest: Immortal Throne. It looked nice and it ran smoothly, but it was all killing and no story, and I thought Iron Lore did a terrible job of using the Greek mythology backdrop to bring their game to life. The game was an action RPG in the mold of Diablo, where you had to kill thousands of enemies, each with a click or two or five from your mouse. Of 2 Introduction Iron Lore Entertainment (developer) and THQ (publisher) teamed up to release Titan Quest last June.
