Amazon.co.uk Review
Carve out a virtual life for yourself as hero or villain in the fantasy world of Fable II, where nothing is pre-determined. Create your own character, male or female, and control them over their whole lifetime. Watch as they grow up and then make the tough moral choices that will affect their abilities and how the world sees them.
Headed by industry veteran Peter Molyneux, creator of the famous Populous and Theme Park, Lionhead are one of the UK’s best known developers. They were bought by Microsoft in 2006 and now produce games such as Black & White, The Movies, and Fable only on Xbox 360 and PC.
 Some cities are huge, with a complex infrastructure for you to exploit |
 Acting for good or evil can have a permanent physical effect on your features |
 Guns are commonplace, but swordfighting is still vitally important |
 Not all your enemies are human in the world of Fable |
Set in the land of Albion 500 years after the first game (such that primitive guns are now in widespread use), you can either seek to rid the land of evil or conquer the realm for yourself. The game features an all new combat system, allowing you to use a range of melee and ranged weapons, while death brings only a loss of experience.
But the game need not be about fighting at all if you don’t want it to be. You can buy property and become a mayor, or get married and have children. Many games call themselves role-players, but here the nature of your role is entirely up to you.
Key Features- Game of life: Mould your own character and watch them grow into adulthood, their features changing according to the deeds they perform for good or evil.
- Virtual reality: Will you be a charming evil doer or an antisocial hero? The role you play is entirely up to you as you follow the game’s story or ignore it to do your own thing.
- New age of combat: Wield a huge range of weapons, including swords, axes, and newly available muskets. Or master a range of magic spells with up to 80 different varieties available.
- Team up: Invite a friend into your game at any time and play with them in co-operative mode.
- Best friend: Every character gets a chance to own a pet dog, one who will help you to find your way through the game world, attack enemies, or just be a good friend.

Fable II - Limited Collectors Edition (Xbox 360)
I loved the first Fable and the second one too, but the special edition is nothing it promised to be. For the extra money you are paying for a dungeon (max 20 minutes play, a sword in the dungeon (by far not the best), and a spartan suit and sword (novely wears of after 5 minutes and stats are soon outdated). there are also 2 videos on the bonus disk: one being the making of which is basically an extended version of the video diaries. The other is a movie of a hob toy changing background with music...
If thats your thing then go for it but i was a bit confused.
You also get concept art gallery which is fairly small.
The worker in Game tried to put me off it and i didnt listen. Unless you are strangely attracted to hobs i'd stick to the original version.

Fun:
Essentially overall its the same old game but with some key differences, an extra quest awaits the owners as does some Master Chief armour nicknamed Hal's armour along with an energy sword. Pretty cool, just can't get rid of chief. These features are ONLY accessible if you have Xbox Live so don't buy this for nothing. Theres also a special features disc with some interesting videos on it. This is a game full of passion. A fully fledged five stars all the way.

Fun:
Let me tell you why I don't see the point in this:
If you want to know what's so good about the Spartan armour (called Hal's armour in Fable) go on the wiki. Same with the sword.
DVD isn't worth it. There are a few video diaries on there and that's about it...
In the Game of the Year Edition, you get the Knothole Island DLC and the See the Future DLC, both very interesting. See the Future is kind of a peek into Fable 3, saying that some time there will be a Hero King again. (I think it mentions SPOILERS!!!! that you're the king and your child is the player in Fable 3, but I'm not sure). Knothole Island comes with THREE quests that are all mid-length to long (to me) and once you've completed them all you can control the weather on the Island.
These two were both very good, and I'm glad I got the GOTY Edition. I don't see the point in the Limited Edition though - some armour that gets boring two minutes after you put it on, a sword that makes an electrical sound (sarcastic "ooh") and 20 more minutes of gameplay to get another sword that ISN'T THAT GOOD?! (I'm referring to the Dungeon quest you can only get with this edition)
Lionhead made a quality game here, but the Special Edition isn't needed. AT ALL.
Take the Force Unleashed. In their Special Edition (I see the Ultimate Sith edition as the special edition) IT'S ACTUALLY A SEPARATE GAME! There's a different story on A DIFFERENT DISK. With Fable 2 special edition what do you get? Not much. What you DO get is pretty mediocre, too. Fable 2 is way worth the buy, my favourite game in fact - I'm playing it right now - but the Limited Edition isn't worth the extra money.
HOPE I'VE HELPED.
