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. 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. Although this game did not accomplish all that it set out to do it was a great game. The bets you can make about each mission make it more exciting and harder for intense gamers. 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.
Pros: Fun, Zelda-like combat Natural feeling levelling system Nice graphics Decent character customizationCons: 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
(No, I am not going to spoil it. 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. 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 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. Well, Fable has an excellent story.
What would an RPG be without a story. 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. 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. Spell effects are especially good. You could get away with renting it, but mark my words, you will want to play it again.Graphics 9/10Gameplay 10/10Sound 9/10Length 6/10Story 8/10Stability: It's Peter Molyneux's work, its all so extremely polished you can practically see your reflection.Overall 8/10 - ImpressiveFable 2 will be even better. Good graphics, even though the character models do look very cartoonish. It's not really long but the experience is increable.Story.
A great soundtrack, good weapon and spell effects. 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. The combat is great. But it does feel like they used this engine for black and white 2, or vise virsa.Sound. It fells very believeable and fun. 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.
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.
I bought this because it was inexpensive. I beleive Fable 2 is coming out next year. If you like RPG's I recommend this highly. 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. Try this first to get an idea of what to expect with newer graphics and open play.
