I initially bought Fable 2 to take care of that 'Skyrim Itch', and for the most part it has! There are only a few little things that ruined the experience. Here's a quick overview:Storyline/Dialogue : 10/10Graphics : 7/10Fighting and EXP : 8/10Performance: 6/10The storyline is PERFECT. The dialogue and humour alone is great, but the choices that you make in the story are actually engaging. The whole morality thing is quite profound, and there are plenty of decisions that are really difficult to make, making the game really interesting. The NPC characters have actual development, making you care for them (eek) and making the decisions even tougher! The story line isn't always orientated around the next boss-fight either,which makes it a really enjoyable tale. I cried a bit. The only problem really is that it's so short! I finished the main storyline in 2 days of leisurely playing, and the extra quests that come after don't take that much time either. This is only a problem cos I enjoyed the quests so much.To be honest, I wasn't expecting much for the graphics, and I got what I expected. There aren't really any breath-taking scenes like you might get in Skyrim (my ultimate fave) but it's not so ugly as to jar you from enjoying the game. Every area has it's own sense of individuality, and I guess with the map being so small that's kind of inevitable.The fighting is really really easy (which is okay with me, I'm not fond of stressful and fiddly fights). You can pretty easily win all your fights by pressing the same button over and over - strategising has no real advantage. The EXP system is kinda stressful if you're the hoarding type, as it's collected when you manually press a button, making the more paranoid of us wait for unmentionable amounts of time as we leave no EXP orb behind. The way you level up is pleasantly challenging, but is made obsolete by the use of potions that give you EXP.The first time I tried to play the game, it was actually too glitchy for it to even function (although this might also be because I accidentally scratched the disk because Xbox is a pile of crap lol). Either way, this problem was solved by buying a new copy, and this time round I installed the game to my hard-drive before doing anything, which got rid of basically any problems. There's still a couple, but it's not as debillitating as before.Overall, the game was really fun, albeit short-lived.P.S. You can have multiple families. In all truth, this is what swayed me.

I bought this game for my boyfriend at christmas because to be totally honest, I was getting pretty bored watching him play shooting game after shooting game, and i thought it would be nice if there was also something that we'd both like, and I wanted to play as well, it was probably one of the best decisions I made!I'm not going to lie and say I know much about xbox games or gaming in general, I still sit and play Monkey Island and Theme Hospital for hours on end...so it was nice to find a game that really is so enthralling. There is an endless amount of quests to do, which is what makes this game so fun. You don't have to stick to the plot line all the time, and you can venture off and get a job for a while or buy a house,run around and explore the scenery of do tasks for villagers and other people who need your help. There is so much detail in this game, like how your character becomes fat if you eat too many pies, and it is the little details like this which kept us both gawking at the screen until about 5am unable to put the controllers down.I was worried to buy this as it is a few years old now, and I know that buying the old games isn't as good as getting the new (and predictable) Call of Duty, but if you want something truley enthralling, this is it. It is a game for everyone, and you can play it how you like, choose to become evil or follow the virtuous path, it really is your choice, there are hours of exploring to be done!It is a game for both the seasoned gamer and the nervous newcomer both will enjoy it equally and enjoy playing and watching it together as well, the scenery is so nice its fun to just sit down and have a little chill time watching others do all the hard work.Buy it and enjoy it, hey it's so cheap even if you aren't that impressed (I don't see how you couldn't be), it's not like you've lost £40, like you would do if you bought a brand new game.

This game is set again in Albion, 500 years after the finish of the first game, and is a quest of a child to adulthood, to defeat a tyrant. Although it has references of it, it's not imperative to play the first "Fable" to enjoy this "sequel".Fable games are all about choices.In the very beginning of your RPG quest, you can choose to be a little boy or a little girl and immediately you begin your moral, social and physical choice adventures: by doing good or bad deeds or sometimes neutral, that will greatly influence your appearance as adult in the game (good actions, angelical look with tanned skin, light hair and halo on your head; bad actions, pale skin, dark hair and horns) and diet behavior,eating vegetables will lead to slim bodies and eating only meat, pies and drinking too much will lead to a prominent belly. You also choose to marry or not, to the same gender or not, leading to choices such as parenthood and adultery. You also can choose or combine and upgrade three styles of combat, fencing, shooting and casting magic. Man, it will be very difficult for you t get bored with so many choices !So...Pros - Gorgeous graphics, especially at day, with shadows casting realistically over everything. Fun and diverse combat. A dog companion ! Many choices and free roaming over main and sidequests, jobs, mini-games, house buying and many more and than watching it's consequences influencing the appearance of your character and the surroundings. Co-op with a friend online or locally.Cons - The combat could be a little more fluid and less robotized. In the co-op, the other player cannot load his or her custom character and instead they have to choose a premade male or female "Henchman".I recommend this game for those who loves adventure, choices and plenty of (almost forgot to mention the most famous and best feature in the "Fable" games) humor !

Big RPG game that you can spend hours exploring. Full of British style humour but you are presented with some really dark choices . For example, I made a choice that saved many lives but meant my faithful dog was killed and the only way I could get him back was to go to a location, chat up a woman so she followed me. I then had to take her inside a crypt , get out and pull a lever which basically sacrificed her so my dog could return from the dead! So, by doing good, I ended up doing something bad, quite a moral dilemma. There are other dark choices to make but if nothing else, it does open up the possibility of replaying the whole game as a complete b******d, just to see what happensAs with many of these games,there is a lot of "hacking and slashing" which can get a bit repetitive, but even after playing for hours, I still feel there are a lot more areas that I have missed that could be explored further.It is an relatively old game but I think it still holds up well. I have also played the sequel Fable 3 which has slicker control system and is an improvement on Fable 2, but not by very much. Fable 2's story line may actually be fuller than Fable 3's, with both having character links so for a complete experience, I would recommend playing both games.

This was the 1st of the fable games that i have played and i must say i was impressed. The graphics are great and the way the combat sytem is set out is very easy to use and you can quickly change from close, ranged and magic combat without pausing the game.The missions are very fun and the world is big and very interactive, i love the fact that you van own property and customise it. All the decisions you make have an effect on the world around you and the way people react to you. For example if you are violent people will either cower from you, meet you with agression or run from you. Likewise flirt with a shop keeper and you can get yourself a discount.Your characters appearance also changesdepending on if you are good or evil and depending on what upgrades you choose however most of my players looked similar by the end. Customising your player is not as easy as other games, you need to spend money on clothes, tattoo's and hair dyes which do not give any real advantage.The weapons and spells are great and always looked forward to finding a new weapon, upgrading it and then testing it out.Is a great game with a few flaws,highly recomended

Okay so this really isn't a great co-op player. I bought it for my boyfriend's birthday but ended up playing it solo most of the time. In contrast to Halo's split-screen, in Fable's co-op mode you just parachute into the main players game as a helper and can't interact with people. Also you can't go too far from the main character or neither of you can see what you're doing. It's a bit of an issue in a large battle. Also when you join another player's game you get all your character's experience and abilities, meaning that I was able to jump into my boyfriend's new game with a level 5 shock wave and level 4 necromancy and just blast all the opponents to kingdom come.It was fun for a bit but he was a bit miffy at being essentially useless.However that small gripe aside, this is a great game with really holistic character development. I love the self-contained mini quests, and they've got a great array of opponents. I'd definitely buy again, but mainly use it for single player.

This game really just continues where number 1 left off. You get the same amount of quality that you got from number 1, but more of it to be honest. Plus you also get to have man's best friend with you (a dog.) Fable 2 really is a no brainer. Because with Fable 2 you get variances of the same atmospheric music, more of the fun lovable gameplay, and an incredible "new" world that responds to your character's every move. So, please don't listen to the people who complain. Get this game, and I can guarantee you that for this low price, you WILL NOT be disappointed.

My favourite game of all time. Great game play, great fun, oh, and did I say "Great"? It's great.Seriously, it's the sort of game that you can play for hours and hours, and never get the same result twice, as your decisions affect developments in the game itself. Will you be good or bad, fat of thin, handsome or ugly. The free roam ability really opens up this game. Even when you've completed the main game, and all the DLC, the option to keep playing is still there, as you can return to the world to explore further.

after continuously borrowing this i finally got it and i have to say.... it is the best game i have ever played, im hooked with the fable universe and its legends, from the humble merchants selling apples to the villians sacrificing innocent villagers. It's so imaginative aswell as fable 1. fable three was dissapointing, the same world but in the industrial revolution. The story was great and you can play it over and over without doing the same time. BUY IT...from molly

This game is awsome the gameplay is billant, the story is very godd and the weapons are great fun to play with. Also the idea of buying shops/ houses is cool. If I had to say one bad thing about this game it woould be that the graphics aren't as good as my other game, iyt may just be that the games is old, so dosen't have the technologt yet. But buy this game!!!!

I'd played the game when it originally came out so I knew what to expect, but when ordering the classic version I didn't expect to get some of the downloadable content as well. What's not to like, special powers, swords, guns, you can become a property tycoon and lots of in-game content. Still as enjoyable now as when I first played it and worth getting.

Fable 2 is fantastic as a fan of the fable games other then anniversary this is great the open world is wonderful I love bowerlake the games open world is more complete then the origanal but it retains loading times every now and again and the quests are sometimes boring and less fun then the original you should buy this game.

Very well written story line, good graphics and great entertainment.As an ex-computer gamer, and "Tomb Raider" fanatic, this was a natural progression.This was the first game I played on my Xbox 360, and am currently playing again.Just for the crack. Thoroughly enjoyable...

I am not an expert on about xbox games and gaming and I bought this as a present for my boyfriend, but once I started playing I couldn't stop for 7 hours! It's an absolute delight! Very good story and an amazing gameplay. It came very fast too! I would definitely recommend!!!

No difference between the classic and the Game of The Year edition but the front image, same bonus contents.Right now this is more easy to purchase than GoTY edition, and to get sooner the experience, if you miss it or you want a glimpse before Fable III
