This Microsoft is not for younger players despite the name Fable. This is action/adventure game is loaded with options as grow in stature in your guild. The guild is a kind of warrior school and business. You have different choices on your quest to defeat Jack of Blades goes along. Each choice affects if your character is good or bad. His appearance changes to match these actions. If you are good it effects the look of your character. He will get a halo and people will treat him with admiring words. Evil deeds like taking treasures that are in the houses of people will lead you to grow horns. You can customize your character in so many ways yourself too. He can have a tattoos, different haircuts, facial hair and armors. The graphics are excellent. The trees and water are some of the best around. The arms and armor look so pretty as the shimmer in the light. The sound is as good as the visuals. The sound of sword and other weapon strikes are vibrant. The world is not fully open but there is a lot of freedom to travel about. You can use portals to quicken travel. The story is told wonderfully with voice acting. The warrior gets a array of many weapons. Numerous swords, axes and bows fill this game. The gameplay allows you to use them with ease and effectiveness. You get a choice of many magic skills throughout. Magic can be upgraded to your liking. You can be a mainly magic user or weapon wielder or even both. That is the theme of this game- choice. This elements of the game really come to together very nicely. The problem with game is its very short length. This hits you hard. That really holds it back.

Despite so many good things the shortness of the quest makes this game average.

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.

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.

i think fable is the best game ever. it like really life. what ever choice u make matters on if u r evil or not. i think the graphics r pretty good to. and it is fun just to mess around.

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

this was the best of the best at the time it was fun and all most any one could play it all you had to do was just sit down and play you were hooked

this game, along with halo was the reason i bought an xbox. the game was really fun with alot of replay value and lots of things to find and unlock. the only downside was the game was entirely too short. and by the time i beat the game and started to do some of the extra things, my character was in his 60's. just didnt make sense to me

This is such a great game wonderful graphics and it was one of the most addictive games i ever played. Only one problem with this game way too short =( but still a very great game

this was so sweet it's perfect that you choose your own path just like realitywicked weapons superb graghics and everything else fantastic

The title pretty much sums up this game. The fun level depends on who you are. Evil Is so much better then Good in this game. Let me explain. Every action determines what happens. So If you Steal a sword, Kill a villager,break in to a house, etc. you become More dark and feared. So you know that awesome sword with 300 Damage that you want? well steal it and be more evil than you already are. So if your aiming at righteousness, you have to buy it. Well lets start with the review. The good: every action determines what you become So that one little kid you decapitated with your bow, Makes you a horn-headed son of a bitch. The game is an opened ended rpg that provides hours of fun without even touching the story line. The deep customization is just great. Everything from Tattoos to you boots. This game is great. The Bad: The only complaint I have About this game is the ending! WARNING! SPOILER ALERT! If you want the ultimate power, You become terribly evil, because to get it you must kill your own sister. So if your on the path to good you cannot take the ultimate weapon. And if your completely evil and you dont take it, you become the Hero of all time. And those 2 effects cannot be reversed. You become so good/ evil, It cannot be undone. Final thoughts. If you want a good open-ended game, but don't want to be a criminal, or be in modern-day like grand theft auto. Pick up fable. But if you just want to go around shoot stuff with guns (most of the combat is melee) and jack cars, stay away and get GTA. a 4.25 out of 5
