 Overated March 29, 2007
1 out of 7 found this review helpful
Originally when i bought fable I thought it was very good, and it is quite fun, but to be honest the way people talk about it is overating it. It is a very small world compared to most RPG's and thw way people often says its better than halo is rubbish, that game started bascially all modern shoot em' ups. Anyway if you want to buy a good RPG get oblivion or jade empire because really compared to most RPG's this is miles behind even for its time, its possibly better for those who havent played many RPG's before, howver.
 Fable- a true 'legend' of a game! March 21, 2007
13 out of 14 found this review helpful
Well, where do I start? The game itself has now had 3 editions, the original 'Fable' followed by 'Fable - The Lost Chapters' (Classics range) and is now included in (which comes as no suprise to me)the 'Best of' section of the Classics range.
- This game is phenominal. The story is so in depth and the possibilities are endless! Good or Evil - for those of you that hadn't played the original Fable these are the two choices that face you whilst you play. Will you lead a heroic onslaught of all that is evil in the world? Or will you pursue all that is pure and good, destroying, and creating a reign of terror along your way? The choice is yours. Anyway, onto the storyline - which I must say is superb! The game starts with you as a small child, it's your sisters birthday and your father has asked you to get her a preasent. You have one problem though, you have no money. So your Dad offers you a deal - for every good deed you do around the town he will give you one gold coin. However, there are other ways of getting the money you require. For example: A local bully is threatening a young child for his toy, and the boy cries for help. You are now faced with those two choices again. You could either: defeat the bully and get the gold off your father for performing a good deed...or you could kick the holy crap out of the little kid until he offers you gold to leave him alone. Its quite simple, yet very entertaining! After the gold is gathered for your sisters birthday you buy her a present and just as you go to give her this preseant, bandits raid the town...typical? Your father is killed and your mother and sister kidnapped. You are left alone. That is until a mysterious man appears and explains that he is your only hope of survival. Now this is where the real game starts. This man is infact Maze, head of heroes at the heroes guild. He and the guildmaster(whom you will also meet)train you to become a hero, to fight evil in the world - that is, if you want to of course, lol! You are told that there is a growing evil arising in Albion (the world in which the game is set) and you are given a series of missions besides the main story line to complete. Along the way you will grow stronger and wiser, enabaling you to use heavier weapons and powerful spells to defeat your foes. You are faced with a huge arsenal of weapons and spells to choose from, each with there own unique ability and strengths. There are also many types of clothing, armour and mystacal robes to wear - all of which you will buy with your hard earned cash...and its tuff being a hero! As for the extra content in the game - excellent! Another island to explore more weapons, more armour, more monsters to fight and another chunk of story to play through. There are so many secrets to unvail, so many choices to be made and so many puzzles to be solved that you will simply never grow weary of this game. It can be played again and again. I loved it, so will you! Now go, buy this game, and be faced with the choices that I have...Good or Evil, what will you be? 5/5 - Phenominal!

Fable xbox February 5, 2007

This was the first game we played on the xbox and it's brilliant! Loads and loads of places to explore, buying food/potions/weapons from the local trades men, battles to be had. You begin as a young man with no skills and no money but as you work your way through the quests you gain skills and get paid. You can then buy better weapons, use potions that you've found/bought to better your skills and take on more challenging quests. In between you can buy houses, marry, talk with the locals - who all seem to be on magic mushrooms! and generally mull around - fishing is a good past time because you can 'catch' some interesting stuff. A great game, just a shame its a bit short - we completed in 20hrs after having never played an xbox (1st console since the megadrive - yeah sad i know).
The Fable of a Brilliant Game August 26, 2006
15 out of 17 found this review helpful
This game is the newly improved version of its predecessor Fable. I had the old game and when completed there were a few questions that you wanted answering. A few enemies you wanted to fight. New places you wanted to go to. This game has all of those and more. You can be good or evil depending on what actions you do and, in turn, this changes your image and the way people react to you. With THIS RPG however, you get real time battles instead of turn based battles out of games such as the legendary final fantasies. Not only can you battle and complete quests but playing around is funny too. You can get drunk, marry women (or men if you prefer...), commit crimes, trade and...er...kick chickens. Anywho this is a must have for any self respecting RPG fan.
