Fable II Reviews

Beautiful game, amazingly fun, but completely ruined by game breaking glitches that destroyed my saved game.

Fable 2's story sucked in my opinion. If i wanted to i could beat that game in a matter of hours maybe 5..? Besides that there was no fun really to it . I mean to make money you have to click a button in a green part of the bar for what at least an hour to make a decent ammout of money. Ohhhh thats soo fun! Then there was so sense of adventure just follow the stupid yellow line.? No creativeness to the monsters there was maybe 3 trolls in the whole game and bandits and hobbes...and a few balverines.. .? Then the dog yes you stupid thing i can see the damn chest in front of me..thanks. Also that ending was the biggest piece of junk i have ever seen in my entire lifetime. How do you make a single player game with no ending boss battle? HOW.? and then at the end you get to choose your ending...your kidding me right!...so all this time i have been trying to be good for nothing because what i choose in the end will make me all the way good bad or stay the same.

Even though the first Fable wasn't as good as creator Peter Molyneux claimed it would be, it was still a fun action-RPG to play through. The same could be said for the sequel.

Once more there's a massive, fantastic looking world to explore and once more everything feels very restricted. The world is devided into different sections, which takes the player out of the game instead of making the player feel he is really there.

But there's a lot to be said for the countless customising options (clothing, hair, weapons), the various job you can make yourself useful in, all the houses and shops you can buy, the women you can marry and make a child with, the dog that stands besides you at all times and helps you in finding treasure and the story, which isn't very engrossing but still does the job of pushing you forward.

Fable II is a great fantasy game with incredible graphics and fun gameplay, but nowhere does it become deep enough to really satisfy the hardcore gamer. Still, there's a lot of fun to be had, even moreso for the casual player.
