  • Abstract:  The original Fable got a lot of grief for what it wasn't. It didn't offer a world in which one could roam forever, like Oblivion (while Metroid Prime drew raves). It didn't offer constant interaction and an online showcase for your character, like Worl...

  • Abstract:  How does the follow-up to one of the best RPGs of 2004 stack up? Find out inside. Chicken Chaser? Why Do They Call You That?The original Fable was a credit to Lionhead as developers. The game provided an environment that was part-action-RPG, part life...

  • Abstract:  Fable II is a gorgeous looking, funny, satisfying game that is a worthy sequel to the original Xbox title. But at the same time it is also filled with glitches and strange design decisions that leave you scratching your head. The good far outweighs the...

  • Abstract:  Name: Fable IIGenre: Action RPGPlatform: Xbox 360Don’t get me wrong, I love my job, but games like Fable II make me wish I wasn’t a game reviewer. It makes me envious of gamers who will be able to spend time with it, finding all of the treasure, explor...

  Published: 2008-10-27, review by: gameplaymonthly.com

  • Abstract:  True to form, the original Fable was an okay game. It was neither terrible nor spectacular—just okay. But why, then, would so marginal a game ever be touted as the “best game ever?” Hype, of course. Hype born mostly of a single man: Fable’s creato...

  • Abstract:  Fable II looks beautiful. The graphics are solid with everything being well presented. The modeling is smooth with detailed and multiple textures. Every area has a unique look and the game makes good use of color. The result is a consistent painterly s...

  Published: 2008-10-26, Author: Stuart , review by: trustedreviews.com

  • The most appealing, entertaining and accessible action RPG ever made, rivalling Zelda for side quest tomfoolery, but with a layer of open-world depth that even Nintendo has never aspired to. Finally, Lionhead delivers on its promise....

  Published: 2008-10-23, review by: strategyinformer.com

  • Abstract:  The basics you already know: Fable II is set 500 years after Fable, in an Albion that more or less resembles Briton during the Enlightenment era. Guns have replaced bows, industry for farming, and Heroes havent been seen since the Guild was burnt down...

  • Abstract:  Fable 2 is among the elite titles to release in 2008. If players skip out on their opportunity to play this ambitious and heartwarming title, then they are missing out on one of the best games of the year.

  Published: 2008-10-22, review by: 1up.com

  • Abstract:  Most Western-developed role-playing games tend to follow an exhaustively mathematical, under-the-hood dice-rolling formula. This approach has left behind a trail of infinitely deep, intricately detail-oriented, but perhaps not so immediately enjoyable,...
