Fable II

londonirish93's Fable II (Xbox 360) review

My favourite Xbox 360 Game so far

The world of Albion has moved on since Fable: Lost Chapters (PC, Xbox), but this new adventure is a cut above. You start as a homeless boy or girl in the mist of Bowerstone Old Town, trying to get to Fairfax Castle. You do quest right at the beginning where you collect 5 gold pieces, but your choices you make will shape Bowerstone Old Town forever.
As you become an adult you learn the 3 disciplines Strength, Skill and Will (where you collect experienced from creatures, like in the Fable). Your choices shape the whole of Albion and the appearance (go down good you get a halo, go down evil path you get devil horns).
During the game you need to find the 3 heroes Hero Strength, Hero of Will and the Hero of Skill. This will include getting renown and doing quest for them.
On the downside Fable 2 you make money to easily, good and evil paths aren't balanced and the mapping is lousy.

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...

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...
