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.
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.

Product Description

Region Free, Full English Language, Will Play On Any 360 Console System

Set 500 years after the original game, Fable 2 offers even more choices and features, while building on the core gameplay theme of Fable where every choice continually defines who you become, allowing you to truly live the life you choose.

  • Choices, consequences. The innovative gameplay pioneered in the original Fable provided gamers with a never-before-seen level of immersion in a truly interactive world. Fable 2 expands upon the scope and depth of the Xbox classic by adding incredible new features and creating a wider, more complex kingdom of limitless choices and consequences.
  • A land far, far away. Revisit the sprawling world of Albion more than 500 years after the events of the original Fable, where you are free to explore the landscape and openly roam the countryside. For the right price every house, hut, dungeon and castle is for sale.
  • Fight with ease. Fable 2 pioneers a new combat system designed to allow players to truly master hand weapons such as swords and maces, ranged combat weapons such as bows and guns, and an entirely new magic system. These three disciplines, while very accessible, are also amazingly deep, and allow players to mix combat styles and become everything from master swordsman to skilled ranger to evil magic wielder.
  • A hero's best friend. This groundbreaking addition to the game is integral to the theme of unconditional love in Fable 2. The canine companion will act as friend, compass and protector. Players must merely feed their pooch and he will love unconditionally, creating a bond that sets up emotion-filled journeys all throughout this magical world.
  • Experience the world together. For the first time in the Fable series, gamers can experience the expansive and immersive world of Fable 2 with friends, utilising the new a

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, 26 Oct 2008
By Mad Larkin (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
Having read the other reviews for this game on here, I would agree with most of them as they share the positive views I have about Fable II and are right to do so. This game is brilliant, almost flawless in its many aspects: the graphics are stunning, the gameplay is addictive, the voice acting is genuine, the plot is deep and engrossing and the absolute freedom of the game is enthralling.

I could go on for many, many words explaining the multitude of options available to the player, but I'm more concerned with the user who decided to give this game a mere one star rating.

I STRONGLY ADVISE YOU not to pay that review heed, as it contains false information. It states that you cannot change character name (there were no character names in the original Fable, only titles that you earned or bought, and Fable II has plenty of them); it states that you cannot change hair colour (barbers sell different coloured dye which you can change hair and clothing colours with); it states that there are no weapon enhancements (a new augment system allows you to buy various additional skills/effects for weapons with augment slots, causing differing enhancements).

Perhaps the biggest falseness in the one star review is the statement that Fable II removed hundreds of freedoms that the first game had. This could not be further from the truth. Think of the original, times it by ten, mix it with elements of The Sims, GTA and an originality that Xbox RPGs have lacked so far and you have this pure gem of a game.

It might not have the longevity of Oblivion (but what else does?), but there are many replay factors involved, the least of which is the ability to play as a male or a female, so if you enjoyed the first game or want an addictive, fun and truly enjoyable gaming experience then buy it right now.

And if you're still reluctant and torn between the views of the positive and negative reviews here, check out the official reviews that the magazines gave it. You won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best game I've played in a while, 24 Oct 2008
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
Before getting hold of Fable 2 I'd seen a few interviews with Peter Molyneux hyping up this game and I was a little concerned that it wasn't going to live up to his hype, but IMO, it does. After just a few minutes of gameplay I was hooked.

Graphically Fable 2 looks great and the story is superb. What surprised me is the depth of the game. For example, you can purchase a house and rent it out, raise the rent, redecorate, evict the tenants, get engaged and move in with your partner, get married and have kids, get divorced. You get the picture!

Despite the depth, it is very easy to pick up and play. A sparkly trail leads you to your current destination (which can be switched off in the options I believe), but you have the option of switching missions at any time, or ignoring the sparkly trail altogether and wandering off to do your own thing. The missions I've played so far have all been good fun and there's plenty of humour thrown in there which is nice to see. The difficulty curve isn't too steep either, ramping up at a reasonable pace.

Combat is fun, with a number of close combat weapons to purchase, along with ranged weapons such as crossbows, pistols and shotguns, and a number of spells. You can earn money by taking various jobs, by renting properties out, completing missions, or by finding treasure chests or digging up bags of gold pieces, all of which enables you to purchase new weapons, clothing, food, properties and so on.

Throughout the game your dog joins you on the missions. He'll sniff out buried treasure which you can then dig up, or attack enemies that you've knocked to the ground. You can teach him new tricks and upgrade his treasure seeking and fighting skills, plus you can pet him, punish him, throw him a ball to go and fetch and so on, which leads me on to.......

Moral choices. This game allows you to play as either a man or a woman. You can customise your character in several ways, including purchasing different outfits that suit the particular kind of persona you want to portray. You will constantly be faced with situations where you can be good or evil and the choices you make impact what happens in the game.

The main negative with Fable 2 is the online co-op. As you wander around the world, you will see orbs that represent other online players. You can set it so that everyone is shown, or only people on your friends list. When you walk into an orb you can enter the other person's world and this is where it gets a little disappointing as you cannot use your own character in your friend's world. You play as a henchman, and the screen and camera are locked so you can't wander very far from each other.

Despite the slightly disappointing co-op mode, the single player campaign makes makes this game well worth the money. If you are a fan of action RPG games, then don't hesitate, buy it now!

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, 2 Nov 2008
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
I was a massive fan of the first game and played it through many times, I will list the good and bad points below:

Good,
-The graphics are alright, shame it came out the same day as Far Cry 2 which has a lot better graphics and is open world. I liked the new graphics for the spell casting.
-I found the game to be generally bug free (though other people have found problems)

Bad
-The map is not an open world. It is very similar to fable 1 where you generally stick to paths unless there is a hidden key or treasure. For example, its nothing like oblivion or far cry 2 where you can roam around the world. So it feels very linear and not very rewarding.
-The box claims it is 10 times bigger than fable 1 when in actual fact there are fewer areas. They got rid of Knothole glad and the snowy town at the end of fable 1. In actual fact there are only two large towns now (Bowerstone and Bloodstone) and I was disappointed at how large they actually were.
-Peter claimed money was going to be a big part of the game and be difficult to make when in actual fact it is ridiculously easy to become a millionaire.
-The amount of costumes and weapons is as limited as Fable 1 but you can now change the colour of your clothes, I didn't bother though...
-Everyone who has played it will agree the story line is short. I would go as far as predictable and has no depth. Very basic main story with a few unrelated quests.
-No replayability. Your character will be the same the next time you play (unless you change from good/evil or boy/girl then your appearance will change). You'll find you level up in Str, agi and mag with every character you make. The quests are also too easy to hunt out and I have now completed everything.
-The advert shows an evil person on fire. You can't become anything like this. You will only grow some small pathetic horns if your maximum evil... not even as evil as the person on the front cover of the box! It's very similar to fable 1, either small horns or a halo.
-I didn't like the arena in fable 2. I was looking forward to one similar to that of fable 1 but with a massive crowd. There is no visible crowd though..
-The map is awful. I suppose they had to get rid of the unrealistic GPS fable 1 had but they didn't replace it with anything. Just brainlessly followed the crumb trail!
-Generally as easy as the first one.. think its aimed at the younger age groups
-Peter claimed the fighting would be as complicated or as simple as you made it. I didn't find this to be the case.. very simple stuff
-The general reaction of the people in each town was disappointing. Really no improvement from fable 1. They will keep on repeating themselves.
-The whole family system was poor. I'm not bothered about this though, just don't get your hopes up about it. Your child is always going to be small and annoying and will always keep repeating himself.

I will sadly be selling my copy. I'm not being bias. Prehaps wait till the game is worth £20 or rent it out because you will complete it very fast unlike other RPGs.
