Top 10 Favorite Games Of 2008 - #10

Remixed Trailer






Fable II Likes & Dislikes

What I liked about the game

  • The combat system: Just by pressing a button, I could melee, shoot or use magic on an enemy.  This made the combat frantic and satisfying.
  • Easy money: Gold seemed to fall from the sky in this game, even when I wasn't playing!
  • Man's best friend: Your furry companion was one of the best gameplay mechanics of the year, and sooooooo cute!
  • The graphics: Very surprised at how good the game looked, especially at sunrise or sunset.

What I disliked about the game

  • The story: Very underwhelming and uninteresting.
  • The characters: Aside from the dog, I felt no attachment whatsoever to any of them.
  • Online co-op: Frustrating and broken more often than not.
  • The path you take makes no difference: Even if you kill your wife in front of the townsfolk, follow it up with little dance and everything is forgiven.

The Lowdown

Fable II was one of many surprises for me in 2008.  I had no interest in the game until I saw some gameplay footage during this year's E3.  What really piqued my interest was the good reviews it was getting from the press and gamers.  I finally decided to buy the game and enjoyed my time with it.  However, I never finished the main quest because of it's underwhelming story and my lack of affection for most of the characters, aside from the dog, of course.  In the end, while I had absolutely no interest in Fable II a couple of months back, it is quite something to see this game make it's way onto the Top 10.

Online co-op sucks plain and simple in the game.  Can't use your own character when joining another person's game pretty much killed what fun the co-op would have if it didn't have other problem also.  I enjoyed my time with it as well and should get back into it once I am done with SR2.

Well Darro, in Lionhead's defense, having your own individual character inside the Fable co-op would have screwed up the world. But yes, Fable was awesome, though you did not finish it. ; )

Haven't played this game since it came out. It doesn't hold your interest at the beginning, and getting back into the swing of things is near impossible. At least I know I'm making mad cash, so when I get back I won't have to work as a bartender for 4 hours.

Unlike you, I liked the storyline. My problem with this game was after you played through it there was nothing left to do. The longevity simply wasn't there and I traded it in. :(

Also look out for a movie called "The Wrestler". People have said that Micky Rourke is incredible in it. As a wrestling fan, you'd probably appreciate the story more than most casual movie-goers.
