In comparison to all the other Kinect games out there, Fable: The Journey is one of the best despite it's flaws. Yes it may be repetitive, and it could probably have been better called "Fable: Some Dude Rides a Horse...A Lot", but the controls and story show a quality and depth that have been lacking from other Kinect games.
However, in comparison to other Fable games it's terrible. The entire game is completely on rails, there are no "good or evil" choices, no exploration of the world, and pretty much nothing that made the previous games so good.
So yeah, come at this with no expectations and you have a decent Kinect game. Come at it expecting Fable sequel and you will be frustrated, disappointed, and may spend the evening curled up in a ball crying to yourself when you remember how much you spent on it. Because, no, this game is not worth the price (but what Kinect games are?)

First off I think it essential to state how different this fable is to the others. It is completely Kinect controls and so the wandering around looking for something, killing or just having a wander is not an option in this game; as such, for a fable title, it is rather restricted. This is what has dropped it a star for me and which has caused a little disappointment. Nevertheless is has a lot to offer in other areas.
An example is the originality. The Fable series is known for its originality and here it has not disappointed. The unique use of the kinect for complete control is a brave move which for the most part has paid off.
The Kinect can be a bit frustrating at times, I'm not going to deny that but for the most part it seems to behave in this game; it responds well in the accuracy, responds well while driving your horse and cart and seems to do pretty well in keeping out the way when not needed voice wise (which I cant say when playing Halo remastered for example; every word it seemed to think was a command). The main point though is that the Kinect has made this game so much fun. You feel like the hero, you are the controller, YOU are saving the world of Albion. Additionally, this game offers a serious stab at kinect gaming; being the most responsive and 'largest' game to come to the kinect.
Here is another massive plus of the game; Albion. It is simply beautiful to look at, with reasonable graphics the world still manages to be filled with so much detail and beauty that it can be distracting. This distraction however is needed in some parts of the game as for a lot of it you are on the Cart... This is not an issue, it's fun and easy to get used to, much like a stick on a controller, it feels natural eventually to move around; even if there is a lot of it.... Read more ›

The Fable franchise has never failed to entertain me, even going back to the first Fable for the original Xbox. Fable 2 took this to new heights with much more interaction with the game's environment and so did Fable 3 so my expectations were high when Fable the Journey was announced for the Kinect.
I've never been more disappointed with a game in my life.
To start with, the primary problem with this game is the sloppy targeting, which is your only means of fighting. Unless you move your hands in exactly the right way, your shot will miss about 35% of the time, which is highly frustrating to say the least.
Secondly, in previous games, you have been able to interact more with the game outside of the core quests: side quests, buying and managing property, customising the look of your hero, marrying etc. In Fable The Journey, there are none of these options, not even the choice of being good or evil which has been one of the core principals in the precious games.
You only have the core quest, without variation or any choices and a good portion of the game seems to be spent behind the reins of your caravan which, once you've mastered the movements, isn't all that challenging.
The game's only redeeming virtue seems to be the amount of lore it provides, giving you some background and a deeper understanding of the events of previous games, although again this has broken away from the status quo of earlier games as you are not playing a hero of the same bloodline....

Thought it was easy to control but there was a lack of quests to do so I more or less finished the game within a week or two so a bit disappointed considering all the hipe.

Ummm I had a problem calibrating the game initially as it is very interactive (I don't really play games) although I loved the original game. My son absolutely loves it and was glued until he completed it. Would recommend this as a gift for a game player definitely, i can see the appeal you can become a great deal more involved in the character and the adventures
me, i will stick to fable 2 ;)

I've been a Fable fan from the beginning, the first being my favourite. In my eyes, the Fable franchise is such a unique and enjoyable game because there are so many different aspects within the game; developing your character's skills, appearances, weapons, etc. around how YOU want them to be; there are so many side quests and places to explore which means you are not limited to one main storyline; even though you are not limited, the storyline is still gripping and emotional; there are many different character interactions you can do, for example showing rude gestures to townsfolk or even kicking chickens; etc. I could spend such a long time detailing the Fable franchise, however Fable: The Journey should NOT be part of it. I have only played it for a few hours and I'm bored already. You are not able to explore the areas; you are limited to only following the main storyline; you cannot interact with anything in the same way you could in the other games; the character upgrades are limited; etc. All I have really done within this game is control my horse and carriage, throw a few spells and watch a lot of cutscenes. I won't give up on it yet, but I definitely won't be getting my hopes up. I suppose, as a stand-alone game, it would be worth a play.
Overall, I am thoroughly disappointed with this game so far and I'm unhappy with the decision Lionhead/Microsoft have made about making this game so different and uninteractive in comparison to the others within the franchise. Here's to hoping the next (if there will be) game will have the same gameplay as the older games!

Fun but often monotonous
Entertaining and often amusing action sequences. Spells easy and intuitive to use. Lack of free roam very disappointing and boring, especially considering this is a fable game.

Controls are aweful
Kinect has been out for years and they still cannot make them work properly.
Kinect loses focus for no reason. Not worth attempting to play.
