One of the best adventure/RPGs on the Xbox - Reviewed on 2008-07-22

What can I say, this game is fantastic. I know, some people say that the story is too short but if you spend time exploring all the little secrets (demon doors, silver keys/chests, optional quests, hidden puzzles and items, marriage) hidden away in the world of Fable you can easily squeeze 25-30 hours from the game. The price right now is a bargain too. Buy it, you won't regret it!

I loved this game I really did, everything would have been ten times better though if they just released this content with the original game.
Amazing game if you don't expect it to change your perception of reality... - Reviewed on 2008-06-17

I see alot of bad reviews for this game because "it's too hard to stray from the path." "It's not what was promised." etc. The fact is, although it didn't fully live up to its promises, it still made good on a lot of them. I hand it to Lionhead for being ambitious. Most developers stick with a tried and true formula that works, rarely trying to really push the way games are played.
Final Fantasy for instance... Don't get me wrong, as far as RPGs go Final Fantasy set the bar. I'm a huge fan of the series, the only problem is, they rarely do anything wildly different. The stories and characters change a little, they add a few new facets here and there, but it's never anything revolutionary and it's generally the same formula every time.
I agree, they probably shouldn't have promised things until they knew they could pull it off for sure, but that doesn't mean we should so easily forget about the promises they made good on. I'm rating Fable for what it is. A great RPG with a strong replay value. The story is intriguing (even though it's not terribly complex) the environments are well done and varied. As far as side missions and character customization, there's a lot to do. Furthermore, there's alot of room for playing how you want. You can be more of a Ranger type, or a Mage, or a Warrior or just mix it up for whatever the situation calls for.
It's a great game but with all games some people love it, and some people hate it. Most will at the very least enjoy it.
the beginning of the best francise ever. - Reviewed on 2008-06-03

fable is a great beginning to a big innovation in RPGS it pushes evil and good in different ways such evil gaining certain weapons and good getting their own. the evil side of fable has its advantages such as being a easier choice to pick. killing traders with no guards around is amusing so is killing a guard while hes alone in the woods. the augmentations were also a very good item to add to the game. i also liked the abilities you could choose from such as strength and magic. the one thing that sets it apart from other RPGs was you could marry and own a house also you could become a
assassin or a warrior or a thief its a great game, FABLE 2 will really raise the bar in interactions between players and cpu and coop. one thing that fable 2 has is great coop kill each others family's. one thing to note is to save your progress on a separate file if you dont want to lose it all then you could cause so major havoc.

The boys say "It is very exciting, the weapons and armor were exceptional." The profanity was useless, and not exactly conservative.
