    Fable: The Lost Chapters!


    Challenge: The challenge in Fable: The Lost Chapters isn't exactly hard. As a hardcore gamer, I'm expecting more of a challenge, especially if you're forced to use your melee weapon in almost every situation, causing you to become strong enough to nearly one-two hit everything in the game. While playing this game on Xbox is fun, pressing the block and attack buttons for a few hours of gameplay isn't exactly entertaining. Then again, the developer (Lionhead) wanted a game that would appeal to new or casual and / or hardcore gamers which Fable has done for me. This game is excellent in almost every aspect except challenge. The monsters in the game are dead with one or two strikes from your hero’s sword, and provide little to no challenge for serious / hardcore gamers. It may seem like I dislike this game, but I don't. This game provided with many hours of entertainment.

    Length: Essentially you have the original Fable story (7 hours for most people) plus the 30% extra playtime provided by the addition of The Lost Chapters (2.1 hours) which adds up to roughly 9 to 10 hours of gameplay if you follow the linear story. You may continue the game after you defeat the final boss, though, so you can continue to play in Fable for an unlimited amount of hours doing whatever you want. That includes killing every person in every town (Such as Bowerstone) and killing enemies which still randomly spawn in-game giving you roughly another few years of gameplay (until the game disc breaks, etc.)

    In closing, I'd recommend this game for any RPG lover on both the PC and Xbox, but remember Fable 2 is just around the corner so this game is going to become old news very soon.

    8 out of 10 stars. It's a great game, but it took Lionhead two tries to get the game fully released.

      fable the lost chapters is a beautifuly looking game, with fluid like controls and smooth practically consistent framerate. the overall game is a bit shallow, like you have to give a rose, or a box of chocolates to someone to fall in love you, as soon as you complete the first quest numerous of npc's will start to embrace you valiant nature and before this they were calling you chicken chaser and mocking you. the menus in this game tend to freeze though, which is quite annoying when you really i...

      Its pretty difficult to describe fable, its an adventure game with rpg elements. From the begining of the game you can tell that this will be a journey that will take you across the fable world and you would encounter evil beings who threaten the world. Starting as a child who dreams to be a hero when he grows up, is suddenly put through his paces when his family and village is attacked. Saved by a well known hero called Maze, you are taken to the guild where you will start your training to beco...
