Fable is a solid adventure.

Fable was a game that was talked up for years as being somewhat of a "second coming" for RPG/adventure games. The developers hammed it up to be a game in which you could do just about anything. The final product, however, is much more limited in it's scope. You still have a good game, it just isn't up to parr with what was bragged about on it,s part, prior to it's release.

Story: You are a young boy living in a small village. That village is one day attacked, and burned to the ground by savages. You are the only known survivor. Being just a boy, you are taking to a Hero's Guild to be raised and trained into a fine Hero. You also know, that one day, you would like to face the murderer of your friends and family, and exact revenge.

Graphics: Wonderful, colorful, fantasy graphics that I believe push the xbox to new places.Chracters are nicely detailed, though, in a rather cartoony goofy way. All in all, a decent looking game.

Sound: I love the music this game has to offer. It has that fantasy vibe and gets stuck in your head. Also, the characters say some awfully hilarious stuff that had me in stitches.

Gameplay: Gameplay involves you doing quests for money and fame. Often, each quest has two sides to it, a good side, and an evil side. Depending on which one you choose, it will effect what you look like later on. Also you have magic and combat abilities. If you swing a sword alot, you get big and muscular. If you only cast spells, you will grow physically weak. It's a very interesting concept, but it doesn't go nearly as far as the developers had talked like it would.

Overall: Fable is a solid fantasy/action/RPG game with plenty of action and laughs to be a worthwhile experience.

Fable Review

Fortunately for you, this 6 hour game has excellent replay value. Stealing, flirting, and killing randomly leaves the player enough freedom to have a blast within the walls of the city. It's not particularly difficult, but the characters are humorous and there is a lot of fun extra stuff to do. Definitely worth the buy.

Great Game - Must Buy

I came back to review this game because I cant wait for the next installment. Besides being terribly fun, I enjoying the unpredictability of the game. The graphics and gameplay were ahead of their time for the console and I cant wait to see the sooped up version for 360
