An Immersive World with your Choosing
Fable is a game where you control your character personality, looks, and whether or not he will be good or evil.
The game begins when you are a young child, and you are set on the duty to get your little sister a gift for her birthday. This is where the game first introduces you into the system of choosing whether or not you will be good or evil. You can earn the money helping others and being the good lad or you can be the village bully by beating kids up and helping others not so nice. Once you have completed your task they story deepens and you discover basically the main story of Fable.As you progress through the game you character ages, turning into a young child to an older man. This is first seen at the Hero’s Guild, when you skip into your teenage years and learn to master your techniques. You learn to use your sword, bow and will power. Controlling the powers is easy and not hard to learn. Its best you learn to master these skills for you will need them when you battle the diverse creatures you do in Fable. The enemies you battle are smart and seem to learn your moves. It’s best you learn theirs as well. The task and missions you do in Fable are based on you being good or evil. Sometimes depending on your status in changes the outcome of the mission and how it plays out. There are also side missions in Fable where you help the common villager and what not. You can even marry and shin your wife with gifts. Taking this is the Middle Ages you can have more then one wife in each town or village.
The sound in Fable is well done. The music changes throughout the towns and the Hero’s Guild and they voiceovers are nicely done also. The graphics are not to amazing but they do the job. Fable's graphics do not focus on being realistic but more cartoony. This is not a problem, but actually helps the game feel more like a fantasy and not something in the real world. Controlling your character in the game is to hard either. Anyone familiar with The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time should have no problem playing the game. Fable plays pretty much the same way. Except you have magic you can use against your foes.
Value, high. This game is not to long so you can go through this game a couple times. Each time through are sure to see something new, whether or not you chose to be good or evil this time round. Every time you play this game you are bound to look different and go down a different path in completing the game. This element makes the game fun and a new experience each time.
Lets not forget this game is an RPG. So if you are not an RPG fan you will have problems with this game. But to those you enjoy a good, but not overly complicated RPG this is a game you should be able to enjoy.
