Fable 2 A Great Simulated World.
(

The Most stand out feature with fable is that the world was really well simulated. From NPCs behaviors and dispositions, to the economy of the world. The NPCs aren't as scripted like characters in other RPGs. They react to you more like the people in "Sims." If your liked enough, ...

Fable II

It's not often a game comes along that can move its player emotionally with deep poignancy and yet still be flat out hilarious and superbly thrilling. Fable II is one such game. It is a masterpiece, full of monster killing, quest completion, undercover espionage, and ultimately tells a simple little ...

Jump down the Rabbit Hole
(

Fable 2, in a word, is magical. Peter Molyneux's ( and Lionhead Studios ) Albion is a trip down the Rabbit Hole to Alice's Wonderland, well, at least the Wonderland the creator intended before Disney snatched it up and drizzled sickly sweet sacrine all over it. Prepare to be transported to a world gone mad, whether it be the ...

Peter Molyneux's reputation often precedes him, and rightly so. Molyneux is notorious for promising the world and not delivering. It happened with Fable, and many thought that it would happen with Fable II as well.Fortunately, it hasn't. That's not to say that the game is perfect; far from it. But ...

Fable 2 is good? Is it Fact or Fable?
(
X360

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. ...
