Fable 2 Is Short Lived....


Fable 2 is a Medieval/Magic RPG
It is sort of open world, but not like Fallout 3 or Oblivion
After the beginning you can either, start on your main quest, or
go around earning money and getting better armor and buying houses and renting for money,
there are only a few diferent places to go
there are several Bowerstone places, (Market, Town, Cemetery)
and there is another almost full city, and then another location with several houses but not really full (Oak field)
Each location is fun and cool, with lots of secrets to discover
As you play through the story you will round up several "heroes" and then when you finish the game you will have three options..
you may want to replay the game to try the other two that you didn't choose
there are a lot of times throughout the game that you may want to replay and see how it comes out different..
The graphics are sort of cartoonish.... but really bad at the same time, and there is no excuse for that


When people talk about their "fable dog" tell them to shut up, the dog is annoying, worthless and the only reason to keep him is for the achievements about playing games with your dog..
supposedly he can fight..
he never once got a kill for me...
The fighting is pretty much all the same thing, but its fun the ranged weapons are fun, the melee are fun and the magic... is great.. but not until you have upgraded it to 3 or 4 or even 5 for some of them


There are lots of mini games that you can replay
and you will probably find at least one character that you like for one reason or another.

Graphics: 4.0 There is no excuse at all... ridiculous..
Story: 5 Quite boring.. but the side quests are fun.. (and you have to do some to play the main story)
Gameplay 9: Earning money from houses you rent out, to killing citizens that don't give you discounts, its all fun but it does get old faster then it should
Overall: 6.5 Its fun the first time you play through it, and then a little bit after, but I felt no reason to play it a second time (other then get the achievements for choosing different endings)
Content: There is a little blood, there is swearing, you can do "evil" things... but you turn evil looking, oh yes and
there is "fable 2 sex" but everything is blacked out..  and there are hookers.. but you don't see anything
recommended for mature teens and above



I would recommend this game as a rental, and maybe even a buy,  for fans of RPGs and people who don't hate Medieval Magic stuff...
