Fable

First off, I have beat this game and have already tried different types of characters, and truthfully the game is not that good. First it is way too restricting ( as a great fan of Morrowind) this game is just way too limiting. Second the graphics are not that bad But I would have expected better, It is reminiscent of Sudeki. Third, the story isn't bad but very simplistic and childlike even though the game is made for older players. Finally, the game is too short and has very little replay value, I beat it and I really don't want to play it anymore! This is Not the great game i was expecting or that it was being packaged as , Four years of development for a slightly souped up version of the old style Linear RPG, platform game.

Easily one of the most quotable games ive ever played. Compared to the usual open-world RPG, it doesn't really take itself too seriously which is a nice change of pace - definitely a game you can chill out to whilst playing - yes, there's a fishing mini-game.

It's not what the makers promised it was going to be; the storyline doesn't reeeaaally change from the choices you make and there are the odd glitch and bug (e.g you can get the end-game weapons at the start by wall-clipping)

but the beauty can be found in the droll dialogue, the charming soundtrack and the characters - i found the side-quests and their often humerous npc's the most enjoyable parts of the game, along with mixing up the basic-yet-flexible combat system

If you're looking for an easy-going, short-ish RPG then look no further, farm-boy.

Even after all these years this game is still a pleasure to play, Fable is one of my all time favourite games and was such a revolutionary game back in it's day.

The anniversary version is a great update with remastered visuals & addition items & quests adding in the Lost chapters which adds an extra 3/4 hours on to the end of the original game tying up loose ends and giving you a proper final bad guy battle

Fable is excellent.

The sheer number of choices in this game are incredible, hundreds of weapons, items of clothing and spells etc. not to mention Lionhead's much publicised 'morality' system. This morality system gives the gamer the choice to play out the game as a saint saving villages, giving beggars gold and generally being an all round good egg or being a downright scallywag! The game never runs out of nasty little sins you can commit, from beating up children and robbing shops, to kicking chickens all around the towns! This choices system, whilst a little black and white is fantastic, adding a real element of playagainability as you try and find out just a little more about Albion every time you play.

Albion itself is beautiful and while the graphics look a little outdated today, they still function well, with the design of the locations making up for their lack of detail.

However where this game really comes into it's own is in humour. There are hundreds of little easter eggs and fun things you can see and do around time. Sometimes you can just stand round the various settlements and await choice quotes from the townsfolk, I recommend youtube-ing fable one for some hilarious videos from the world of Albion.

So your asking yourself, why only 9 stars? Well, to be honest the story is a little generic and the fight scenes can become a little monotonous, but all in all Fable is, along with KOTOR and Halo, one of the flagships of the Xbox and should be settling in a place within everyones collection. Including yours!

The title says it all, so I can be brief. It's an RPG-lite and an epic with all the depth, and the charm, of a fairy-tale. Decent enough dialog, peppered with light humor, and voice acting that sounds professional but pretty much aimed at children. The gameplay value is stronger than the story, and its as engaging and fun as the story. Replay value is low; you could challenge yourself with various character development types, but that won't significantly change the plot.

IMDb wants no less than 10 lines for a review, but brevity is the soul of something they can't be bothered to look up anyway. Fable is worth owning and playing.
