wow I am surprised, I was honestly expecting the same reaction the original got. I thought they were a little unfair on the original fable despite it's problems. Sounds like this is the Fable Molyneux originally wanted to create, I really enjoyed the original despite it's issues and bugs.
Plus Lionhead are a UK Developer, so I always want to see them do well... infact I want to see any developer do well.
Looking pretty good, even cutting all the xbox specific reviewers out, because they have no say in this...I knew it would review pretty well though, seemed like a huge improvement from Fable 1, even if a lot of its core just feels upgraded. I only ever thought fable 1 was mediocre at best, but liked several things about it a good amount, and fable 2 seems to improve on that greatly. Now the problem is between Farcry 2 and fable 2 coming out tomorrow, and fallout 3 coming out next week, too many things are coming out ....

Stickied to the Fable 2 board, I'm shocked that Keano made a worthwile contribution to the forums. Way to go, Keano!
Anyways, I'm happy to see some positive reception of Fable 2. It's a game I've been looking forward too, and after Sonic Chronicles sucked, I need one of the games I've been looking towards to be good.
Or you can Google that shit yourself and see that meracritc only has 3 reviews listed right now before you try to Lecture others.

interesting. Hilary goldstein doesnt like brtish humour, does he.I blame his parents. The guy's has got to be half the bastard he is just from growing up a boy named 'Hilary'.
"betterthantelevision said:I bet this game loses points with several reviewers for them reviewing the game before they're able to play co-op correctly. That really sucks too, as the version they're reviewing early isn't the version that any of us will be playing. This is one instance where I think they should re-review the game. To do otherwise is really quite unfair to the developers."TXB and IGN have their reviews up.added.
8.9 and 8.8 respectively."wow, IGN uk - 9.5 IGN U.S. - 8.8interesting. Hilary goldstein doesnt like brtish humour, does he."
"I have really been looking forward to this game and never thought it would disappoint, but I'd be lying if I didn't say I'm really surprised with how high these scores actually are on average."I'm with you on that one, after watchin a few JustinTV feeds of it didn't look that spectacular, but these Reviews make it a Definate purchase now................................after I'm done with Far Cry 2. ;)
OMG, it got a 10 from eurogamer. Nothing EVER gets a 10 from eurogamer (well almost nothing) They're the harshest reviewers since gamespot! Hard to believe, but it looks like Molyneux actually pulled it off...pity I'm in England and have to wait till Friday to get it :-( oh, well I'll just watch the teasers :-)
"PureRok said:They gave Bioshock and GTA4 10/10."Why are your links so hard to read?fixed em.
Edit: Oh yea, the scores are pretty awesome too.""and, AAAA from Eurogamer, they never give out 10s. they gave fable1 a 8.

"get2sammyb said:Not at all. I'm saying that's a very respectable score for it to get because they don't like handing them out."Keano said:and..........."PureRok said:They gave Bioshock and GTA4 10/10.""Why are your links so hard to read?fixed em.

"Redsand26 said:I'm the review intern. Secretly. Nobody knows about me... not even the GB crew. Shhhhh."I'm not surprised either. Now, we wait for the Bomb review.Ryan's doing it right?
*checks watch*"Jeff's playing Fallout and Brad did Deadspace...........and vinny doesnt play anything but DBZ games, or do they have review interns?"
Anyway, off to go work the midnight shift at GameStop. I'll pick up my copy as we leave the store! Hurrah!

"tmontana1004 said:...except for Renegade lol biggest cow of all time! Very surprising that things are going well there. I expect the hardcore fanboys to come stomping in tomorrow morning though."lol GS system wars will be in flames =D man I am so glad I left that place!

J/k good score." People dont care about the GS reviews that much anymore."
"tmontana1004 said:What the fuck is wrong with a 8.5? Really? I don't fucking understand people. Someone says a game is great and people bitch and moan. Look at all the scores you posted in the OP, a lot of those in the same ballpark as GameSpot's score. You know what, now I really hope that Giant Bomb gives it 4 stars. So, I can see what your reaction is then."lol GS system wars will be in flames =D man I am so glad I left that place!
