What our customer's say!

"Solid game despite flaws.", If you know anything about the 1st fable, it's amazing, and Fable 2 does justice for a sequel. The Gameplay is great and the story is pretty good, it's just the bugs. There are so many bugs and glitches in the game it's ridiculous. I have no clue why there are so many in the game, but it's such a good game that you tend to not even care that there are these terrible bugs. If it were any other game, I would have quit for the glitches, but it's just such a sweet game that I didn't want to stop playing.

"Good but vacuous", While still a fun game, this lacks the technical polish of some other games out on the 360 and PS3, and seemed to fare less favourably compared to my memory of Oblivion. Also, some of the mini-games were quite repetitive.

That being said, I'm still a fan of this type of medieval-fantasy-RPG settings, and I did like it, to a point.

"HORRIBLE sequel to the original Fable", After all this time waiting for a decent sequel, we get this horrible closed minded follow up to the original. It's much more constricted in it's gameplay and the graphics aren't much better considering it's on the xbox 360. It seems like there is less to do, with more rules and very little freedom in comparison to the original. I felt like they regressed in every way possible other than adding a few things like working on jobs and such. The spells are blended for a boring mix and gun/crossbow targeting sucks. For god's sake, you can't even fight with your bare fists anymore...so much for punching out villagers! I couldn't wait just to get the game over with!! Don't buy!!!

"Better than the original", Compared to the original, Fable 2 is considerably longer, has more land to explore, and a much wider variety of customization options. It is also quite a bit less linear than the first.

The much talked-about dog lived up to pretty much every expectation, and makes the game a deeper experience, as you now actually have something to take care of.

There are entire areas that will change visually as well as culturally depending decisions made throughout the game.

The main plot is longer than the original, but still short. However, the number of side-quests available before the main quest's ending as well as the number and sizes of the post-story side-quests give the game a lot more play time.

There are a few minor bugs reported, however my first play-through went without any hitches.

Overall, if you enjoyed Fable 1, you will LOVE Fable 2.
If semi-linear, action RPGs aren't your bag, then... Rent it and see if you like it.

"Great condition and great game", The package arrived on time and in great condition. I pre-ordered the game and the package came during release day. Ever since I got this game, I had a blast playing it.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Another "Lost Chapters" Scam?", After purchasing the limited addition for the additional downloadable content, I found that I should have stuck to the standard version. A couple of freebies plus two features that, get this, you have to use points for. Paid extra already, now I have to use points too? No thanks.

As for game play, the graphics are a marked improvement over the first game. Some really stunning visuals and landscapes, although they did not work out all of the bugs and glitches. Pant graphics bleeding through your coat, making it look like there are holes in it. Already dead hobbes and bandits begin flying around. Hard to think the developers didn't catch these problems and disappointing that they did nothing to fix them.

There is a lot more ground to cover between area changes. The game itself though is boring. I find that I miss the fun and character of the first game. I'm only about halfway through this game and I want to shut it off and go back to the first. If I didn't have so much time invested already, I'd probably do so. I even went the length to purchase the game companion guide figuring that there's got to be something I'm missing...I was wrong. So, Microsoft and cronies have gotten their [...] out of me.

The quests are lacking, the jobs are boring and dull, the clothing choices are even not what I'd expected. No armor, just more ornate garb aimed at putting you into a different class level. The dog is a nice enhancement and helps find hidden objects and treasures.

It just seems that with all the time that they had to develop this game, there would be more to it. There's no real fun or background aimed at moving things forward. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that they didn't have enough time to do what they wanted with the game and find another lost chapters version come out of this, just like the first version.

The game is not completely lacking. I did have high expectations based on all the preliminary hype. The game falls short in a lot of ways. I liked the original enough to buy the Lost Chapters version and was happy that I did. I appreciated what was added. I can't see myself doing the same with this release unless there is something significantly groundbreaking that is added.

"Great Game!", I will start by saying that Fable 2 is a great game and is worth the money. It is truly addictive and just a great time to play. Don't expect to be challenged too much though. This is one of those that you play to relax after a long day.

What I loved:
The Dog!!! - Easily my favorite addition to the game. He helps you find treasure and even fights with you. He is also adorable. You can punish him but honestly I couldn't bring myself to do it except for a few times by accident.

Keeps many of the good things from the original Fable. The music, art, and characters are wonderful and the game really sucks you in! The game looks fantastic!

You can buy anything. Economy system has been drastically expanded. Also, the mini games are awesome.

What's not so great:
The storyline feels short. This might be because you will play it all the time but at the same time there is a lot to do even after the you beat the storyline. You can complete any quests at the end of the game. The ending to the storyline feels abrupt in the sense that just when you feel like you are getting good at it it ends.

The Weapons - I have to say that the ranged weapons have been vastly improved and you will actually want to use them. However, the magic while it looks great is difficult to use especially in the heat of battle. Melee will still be the top choice but it is actually easier to use ranged weapons then magic. Also somewhat disappointing is the lack of cool weapons. I was expecting to find crazy ancient weapons in dark corners like in the original Fable. This is not the case in Fable 2. Weapons along with armor and clothing have been de-emphasized. Its easily possible to make it through the story line without augmenting your weapons and with simple weapons that you can get from any shop. Also, clothing no longer provides protection which I thought was cool in Fable. The worst thing is that you expect throughout the entire game to find these things but you never really do.

Free Roam - You can see the changes but you can't feel them! So yes, you can explore the regions a little more and hop over fences but there is not much motivation to do so and you definitely find yourself frustrated when your hero can't climb a knee high ledge. Don't expect anything like Assassins Creed!

Overall: Well worth it since its highly entertaining. You can definitely play through it multiple times since you can be both evil or good BUT the story line, just like in the original Fable, is linear. There is no alternate ending. In the end, this is evolution not revolution.

"Only one problem", This is the most fun, addicting, game out for the XBOX 360 right now!!! Loved every minute of it and it has become my favorite game. I won't get into details cause there's plenty of reviews for that, but I had one and only one problem with the game, (SPOILER ALERT-SPOILER ALERT-SPOILER ALERT-SPOILER ALERT-SPOILER ALERT-SPOILER ALERT-SPOILER ALERT) There is no end boss fight. Would've been nice to use all those skills I've developed for one big showdown at the end but it wasn't there. And if you listen to everything Lucien has to say, you don't even get to be the one to blow him away. Oh, well. Still have things to do and people to kill so it's ok. Get this game, it's worth the money. I'd suggest just getting the reg edition though cause the limited edition doesn't have enough to justify the price increase.

"FABLE II LetDown", First of all the only good thing about the LIMITED edition is the downloadable content. But was it worth an extra $10? No! Also if you get this game i don't think everyone will get this glitch but if you do BEWARE of it LOCKING UP... I have probably spent two hours playing this game with anticipation. But it has locked up on me 7 times as of this review. It is frustrating when you get somewhere try to save and it locks up before you can get to your menu. The worst thing about Fable II is that in the DVD Making Of Video all they talk about is how many glitches they have and how much time they take to make the game and how if your watching this it means you got the game and we fixed all the glitches.

For now i think i am going to put this one in the shelf until either they fix the glitches or the give people who bought the limited edition Fable something worth $10. Don't get me wrong if you can play this game it is OK. Not the best, not the worst but OK. It feels Cartoony and it is nothing New.

All in all if it wasn't for this Glitch which not everyone is experiencing it would be a 8 or 9 out of 10.

By the way i don't know if it is locking up because i run my new 3 month old 360 on 1080p with surround sound? But on the FABLE Forum on Lionhead i am not the only one in the LOCKUP thread. Plus it doesn't freeze up with any other games... like Fallout 3 which i bought along with this game.


"Fable 2 Rocks!!!!!", I pre-ordered this, and didn't think it was going to be any good because I had major problems with the first one for xbox. When I got it, I played it for about 4 hours straight because it was so great. I have not noticed any glitches yet, nor any parts that are ridiculously boring, or take away from the games fun value.

There are minor problems I have with it though:
1)When you play it for extended amount of time, and you get tired, the load times between cities and such make me get a little angry as it happens a lot when you want to go straight through a quest, especially the ones that require city jumping.
2)Once in a while the path marker may not display, leaving you ultimately dumb founded (some times its not supposed to be displayed, but in places where it isn't needed). this seems to happen once in a while to me when I am going on a quest that uses it, then get sidetracked from the path, and complete something else, or work a job, etc. and when I want to go back to the quest, it doesn't display. I have fixed it before, but i can not remember how, I think it had to do with reloading a point, or going back to a point in the quest you have just completed.


Over all it is a fun game, with great content (especially the DLC for Limited Editioners), and am looking forward to exploring the entire world before officially completing it.
