Great Game

I bought this because it was inexpensive. I was quite suprised to find out how much fun it is. It is simpler than Oblivion and more linear, but it is very entertaining. If you like RPG's I recommend this highly. I beleive Fable 2 is coming out next year. Try this first to get an idea of what to expect with newer graphics and open play.

Interesting title from the makers of black and white

Originally bought this game for a class, but I was immediately engrossed in the game-play and logged 15+ hours on it. It features a simple enough third person interface and is really quite enjoyable to play.
Combat gets a tad repetitive sometimes and the choices that you are able to make are over-hyped, as your alignment can be readily changed and there are no serious game-play differences between the two extremes.
The story is compelling and has its twists and turns, and the dialogue often contain hilarious innuendos and jokes.
Its a shame that you cannot customize your hero's physical features and replaying the game a second time to try alternative choices actually turns out to be extremely dull as not much of the storyline changes.

Overall its a great game to play through the first time.

Cons: Really cliche, boring story with flat characters
Quests are unoriginal, boring
Marriage is a pointless, underdeveloped gimmick
Character interaction shallow
Magic overpowered
Too easy
Way too short

I guess you could ask for more...

Although this game did not accomplish all that it set out to do it was a great game. The only reason people could be upset with the game is because of the higher expectations they would have had.

The gameplay is easy to pick up, the experience points are easy to figure out and a very fun aspect along with the multipliers and strategy involved with all of it. The bets you can make about each mission make it more exciting and harder for intense gamers. On the other hand, you can save often and gain a lot of experience for those who are just looking for a fun experience.

Not as much in the area of sidequests as I would have liked but the ones you can do are usually fun. This game was very innovative and if you haven't had the chance to play it hurry up and get it before Fable 2 comes out!

Do Not Listen to Peter Molyneux!

If you have been listening to Peter Molyneux, you know Fable as a non-linear RPG where your character changes according to your playing habits with tons of rival NPCs, a world that changes according to how you play, and plants growing in real time. He also said it would be the BEST RPG of all time!

The development teem must want to murder him, no wonder they lock him in his office during work (this is true).

Fable is far from what Peter said it would be, but the end product is also far from bad.

Graphics. Good graphics, even though the character models do look very cartoonish. Spell effects are especially good. But it does feel like they used this engine for black and white 2, or vise virsa.

Sound. A great soundtrack, good weapon and spell effects. As for the voice acting..."The people of Albion are imigrants from every concieveable point of the British Isles"...That sentence covers it, all NPCs have a heavy British accent.

Gameplay. The combat is great! It fells very believeable and fun. But the game is all about how you progress from little kid to an etremely old battle veteran in 11 hours, this system is actually pretty good, you never notice the ongoing transformation of your character, and he will look appropriately good/evil depending on which path you take. As for non-linear, that is true, but it is not open-ended, and for the most part you are following a predetermined path, with little else to do.

Length. Dissapiontment, it only takes about 10 hours to get through the whole game in one go, of course, you will want to go back in and do it again. It's not really long but the experience is increable.

Story. What would an RPG be without a story? Well, Fable has an excellent story. (No, I am not going to spoil it! Play it for yourself).

All in all, Fable is a great game with gorgeous graphics and a great storyline, but it's a little too short. You could get away with renting it, but mark my words, you will want to play it again.

Graphics 9/10
Gameplay 10/10
Sound 9/10
Length 6/10
Story 8/10
Stability: It's Peter Molyneux's work, its all so extremely polished you can practically see your reflection.

Overall 8/10 - Impressive

Fable 2 will be even better!
