Has to be my favourite game of all time. People say the quests are repetitive. Have they played other games? All games are the same missions over and over. The game allows you to play how you like. You can pick whether to be good or bad. This isn't meant to be a fully serious games (With people calling your A*seface when you pick that name)
The games story is full of twists and turns. Some you can se a mile off some you cant. I have this on PC so maybe it is different for me but its full of free playing . Choose what armour to wear, choose your weapon, choose your hair style, choose what powers to wield and whether to cause mayhem in a small village or do good for the sake of mankind.
I for one am cerainly looking forward to fable 2 and the new additions they have put in.

I began playing Fable as bright and expectant as the young protagonist, who ventures out one early morning in search of a birthday gift for his sister. As the game progressed I like the main character became slightly more sceptical.
The graphics are endearing enough. But the story line is slightly dull, with as much depth as a morning chat show. It's surprising that this game is rated as 16, admittedly it does have some adult content, but nothing too imposing, as the game would really lend itself to a younger audience.
The game is quintessentially British, which is a pleasant change, its humorous and the dialogue engaging, regional accents and idiosyncrasies. The Game is over relatively quickly, with no World save during quests, a deliberation I imagine to expand the game's short life span. The bosses are not too difficult to defeat, and I was a bit disappointed that the infamous Jack o' Blades did not live up to his name or reputation. The game play is simple enough, although the World Map zoom, became a little irritating, especially when trying to fight bosses. This is being replaced with a dog in fable 2 and I can understand why
There are definitely some great touches and ideas in Fable, but like the game's content it feels a little bit rushed. The game play and artwork remind me of an earlier RPG released in 1999 called Silver, very similar and although graphically inferior, in my opinion a far better game.
Fable 2 is promising a lot, and like most I'm exited about its release, I just hope like the screen shots released on Lionhead's Website that it has a greater depth of field.

I loved this game but i have dropped a star because i felt it was too short! After playing something like KOTOR where you spend weeks playing the game it seemed Fable was sadly over much too soon.
But apart from that it was great! great story, great characters and lots of comedy moments. What other game could you actually marry a man when you are a man yourself!. Like KOTOR you have decisions to make but also the added bonus of being able to choose your own haircut and facial hair!. It all adds to personalising the game and gives added gameplay.
I would highly recommend this game to all adventures lovers - but for those hard core gamers you may find you whizz through it a bit too quickly. However not long till Fable 2 is out through eh?.

When I first heard of this game, the way people talked about it made this game sound like it was potentially the best game in the world. Although it is unlikely to beat Final Fantasy it is a fun RPG with an interesting story.
One of the main features of the game is the ability to choose whether to be good or evil. Although this is very fun, and watching your appearance change and how people fear/praise you, it always feels like it's one extreme or another, trying to be neutral is incredibly diffficult.
The battle system at first glance seems like a basic button-bashing-and-blocking-when-they're-about-to-hit-you but there is more to it. Try button bashing your way out of a cave full of Hobbes, not very easy. The levelling up system also seems quite basic at first glance (and possibly is) and just involves you spending your points on specific abilites.
Now the quests, although fun, try and give you the illusion that they give you the option on what quests to do and not do, but the truth is that it again is more of a case of good or evil on which side you take and most extra quests (not all of them but most) are the same repetitive mundane tasks that are rather boring.
There are a few extras in the game such as buying drinks having topless fights and marrying women (or men) and although they seem small, they blend into the environment so well that it just adds to the fun of the gaming experience.
Now you're probably wondering why after badmouthing quite alot of the game why I gave it such a high mark. Why? Because this game although simple is fun and a must buy for anyone just wanting to play a game for the sake of it. Not just for simpletons. Buy it.
