Fable II (Xbox 360) Reviews

Ever whimsical with beautifully stylized graphics, a glorious soundtrack and a very British sense of humour, Fable 2 transports the player to an alternative Shakespearean England full of magic, swordfights, sexual innuendos and chicken chasing. Fable 2 is a very easily accessible RPG, set 500 years after the events of the ...  Read the complete review

Fable 2 was created with love. You can tell from the first moment you pick up the controller. Everything is beautifully crafted in terms of physicality, progression, plot and media. Alongside an engaging plot that has a thousand subtle hints that your benevolent patron may not be so benevolent after all, you're treated to one of the ...  Read the complete review

I bought fable 2 a while ago, as Role Playing games are my favourite genre of games. I had played a little of the first game and the sequel did not dissapoint! The controls are simple enough, but the range of skills and actions you can do with them are amazing. The story is immersive, especially as you get to first play your ...  Read the complete review

Fable 2 was for most people, a highly anticipated game. Its predecessor was one of the most popular games for the original xbox, so a lot of people were expecting much more because of this being on a newer console. One of the main things you notice straight away is that the graphics have improved greatly, before you start the ...  Read the complete review

I bought this game for my better half who is a huge fan of sci-fi and fantasy adventures, the appeal of the game was a virtual world where anything could happen. The game cost me £29.99 originally from Game, but is now available for £12.95. On Amazon, it will surely drop further with the release of Fable 3. The ...  Read the complete review

XBox's fantasy RPG Fable was, in my opinion, one of the best games of the console. The graphics were top notch and the game play - in particular the way that your character evolved according to their actions -was spectacular. Fable 2 is a case of 'why fix what isn't broken?' For, apart from an advance in the time period (you ...  Read the complete review

After reading several negative reviews about Fable 2, I feel as I have to right something positive about this game. Firstly, I was new to the whole Fable franchise - so all my opinions are based on Fable 2 alone and not in comparison to any previous games. Secondly, I am not a hard core gamer, I do not have the time to spend ...  Read the complete review

The story is simply the fight your character has against this king. you grow up as the story progresses, you get to make decisions throughout the story that dictates what your character ...  Read the complete review

Fable 2 is a fantastic role playing game set in the world of Albion. The game begins with a beautiful introductory movie which contains top quality graphics. At the end of the introductory movie, there is a boy and a girl stood around a fire basket chatting. And so the game begins. You begin the game as a young boy/girl living ...  Read the complete review

First of all, I have never played fable I and so am writing this review purely about fable II rather than comparing it to the first. I am not a hardcore gamer, I play some xbox 360 games but I am not the type of person to go out and quickly get the latest games or spend hours and hours playing on a game, but I found this ...  Read the complete review

A very nice follow on from the brilliant Fable. I'll admit that it doesn't have the same charm as the first one mainly becasue of the intensly detailed environments (which shouldn't be a bad thing) and from the new way of casting magic. The story isn't the best or longest (but does have the voice of Stephen Fry - an absolute legend) ... ...  Read the complete review

This game for me was a must get, after enjoying the first Fable game so much on the PC, i was flying to America at the time of release and had to force my girlfriend to go and pick up my collectors edition for me. The game is very easy on the eyes, the graphics are smooth and the characters are semi cartoons so everything ...  Read the complete review

I have just completed this game, and as someone totally new to the franchise, I was really impressed! I have been so bored before by tediously long and epically uninteresting RPGs (I will be careful of saying too many negative things about Oblivion...). However, this game kept me gripped literally from the beginning. The story ...  Read the complete review

I have to say I was dubious about buying my first Xbox game. As a beginner girl gamer I felt like I needed to start in the big leagues to prove my worth and had heard a lot about Fable, so I opted for Fable II. Two days later I hadn't had much sleep and was obsessed with finding Gargoyles and completing jobs. I spoke to my dog more than ...  Read the complete review

It took me a while to decide to go with Fable 2, being that its a sequel to Fable 1 on the original XBox, I read a lot of forum posts for some of the bugs within the game, but on the whole, the reviews out there are generally positive. Its worth pointing out that XBox live do provide a sample chapter (part 1) for free which is what I did ...  Read the complete review

-Overall- I bought this game just the other day, and I'm incredibly glad I did. It's a great game that really hooks you in. The storyline is pretty good, the characters vary, and there's plenty of things to do if you don't want to just stick to the main quest. -The Story & General Gameplay - You play ...  Read the complete review

I brought this game just a couple of days ago for the bargain price of £7.99 and boy am I glad I snapped it up! I am already completely hooked! Fable II is all about making choices that will influence your later life and appearance. Throughout your journey you must make choices for the moral good or your hidden pleasures in ...  Read the complete review

Fable 2 is an action RPG game that is a bit different from most of the other games I have. It is all about choices as well and morality and your choices affect the whole world. You can be good saving people's lives, giving money to people and eating carrots! Or you can be evil and kill everyone, have sex with prostitutes and eat lots ...  Read the complete review
