Fable 2: My Review

[dryerdoor]

Along with LittleBigPlanet, I managed to get Fable 2, which fucking ruled so hard.

When Peter Molyneux said that Fable 2 was going to be bigger and better, he wasn't fucking around. The story starts out with like the last one did 500 years after the first one, as a kid, and you start from there (spoilers aside). And this time, any action you take, will have a bigger impact on you (more than the 1st one). The inclusion of the dog is a welcomed feature. He fights, he finds treasure and he is definetly your best friend. He is intrinsic to this game and he definetly comes in handy.

Graphically, it is a big step up from the first one, there were minor jaggies here and there, but other than that, it looks amazing. Gameplay is great too. While Molyneux said combat would be relegated to single button combat, he was right (while your projectile and will powers are on others). As much as I thought the single button combat wouldn't work, it actually did.

The only problem I've had so far, is the action button. There are times when it does quickly react, but there are times where I've wait to a minute open a treasure chest because, for some unknown reason.

Other than that, I am thoroughly loving this game.

Food also plays a role in your outer appearance. Eating meat and drinking alcohol will effect your purity (negatively = corrupt), so in order to stay pure, it's all about the vegetables.

This might finally be the game that breaks me and makes me go out and get a piece-of-garbage 360.(although, from the people I know that got Elites, it's had far fewer problems)

The original might be tied with Jade Empire as my favorite XBox game.

Fable was great, I'm getting this one tomorrow.

Fable II and Fallout 3 are my most anticipated games right now.

Why put it out on an inferior system

[Sheeplovr]

they have been so awful like the kinda conversations you over hear if you pop into a game stop with more then 3 people in it

what a let down

I was anticipating the knothole Island DLC, and it was a let down. The quests were short and too few. The Knothole Island area will give you special items, and a new location but it isn't all that vast. My character was so powerful already that the enemy's that were thrown at me were a joke. I would say save your money if your on the fence about downloading it.


This is not to be confused with how great Fable 2 is as a game.

That seems to be the consensus. If you want more dungeons and interesting storylines, don't buy it. For people like me who want to collect everything, have a bunch of new items (I went early in the game, so I got a lot of useful stuff) and odd people to interact with, it's worth it.
