    mondo625's Fable II (Xbox 360) review

    Powers, Guns, Family, and a Dog.

    I got this game day one, not because I'm a fan of the game but because this generation of games I have become a huge collector of games and this is one I really wanted. I never played the first Fable to be honest with you but when I started playing this game I got so hooked I was amazed, you see I'm one of those people who buys a ton of games but due to life I never get around to finishing them. There was something about this game that just got me. As I started the game the story really took me over and 24 hours later I was done with the game, thats right I played for 24 straight hours. Which is amazing seeing that I normally don't play a game for more than 2 hours most. 

    The story in this game was fantastic from the begining, which if you've played the game you know what I'm talking about. It starts the game off making you want to continue to kill the bad guy. This is very important to me because if the story doesn't make you want to continue then whats the point. When I first heard about the Dog I thought it was the dumbest thing, why would I want this animal to slow me down? But I have never been so attached to a video game character ever! All the things that are possible in this game make it so amazing to me; everything from getting married to making choices about being good and evil.

    Well I can talk about this game forever so I'll cut it down. This game is a great RPG, one of the best games of 08 but thats not to say its perfect. The co op is completely broken for something that was patched after launch this part of the game should have been great. Aside from that I feel that this game is an all around blast. The humor will keep you laughing and the game never gets so serious that you get bumed out, it keeps it fun throught the good and bad times. Its a 9.5 to me simply because I haven't had that kind of fun for a long long time. It's a must buy because even if your great at RPGs and can beat it in 12 hours the side quest and future DLC will keep you going for months if not years to come.

      Fable 2 is good? Is it Fact or Fable? 0

      Fable 2 is a Western RPG from British based Lionhead studios, and a fantastic entry to the Xbox 360 library. I'm going to say this from the get-go, although the combat is not as deep as most RPGs (particularly JPRGs) this does not particularly detract from the Fable 2 experience. The main strength of Fable 2 is it's atmosphere. It tries (and succeeds) in creating a world which is reminiscent of classic European fairy tales, which is an interesting and diverse land to explore, different towns and...

      Despite its flaws, a Ticket to Albion is worth the asking price. 0

      Fable II is an extremely ambitious game. Its scope is rather enormous, and with a quick glance, Fable II looks like a grand palace of a video game. However, when you get a little closer, as with any grand construction, the cracks begin to show. The Game begins with you choosing to be either a Male or Female orphan and you are thrown straight into a brief exposition/tutorial sequence. In this, as in the Childhood sequence from the original Fable, you need to do odd jobs to get some gold. The sta...
