    4 Stars original fable 09/09/2012

    Advantages Advantages fun multiple play throughs lots of choices

    Disadvantages Disadvantages graghics glitchy

    Back when this game was first released i couldn't put it down for days. I recently picked up a copy again at a second hand shop with the expansion and all i can say is wow this game has not changed or let down my expectations. With the expansion i hadn't played before i can just say this game is even cooler. you get to explore a frozen kingdom and get to take down a very challenging boss fight that took me a few goes. There are now even more fable games to play which i have but nothing beats a timeless classic like this. Where the choices you make feel like they actually impact the game. If ... more

    5 Stars Fable: The experience of a lifetime. 22/08/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Endless gameplay after end, good fighting system, reasonable price.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No multiplayer, the main quest is shorter than on the PC.

    And I'm not kidding. You can play your character from 10 years to 65. You will learn countless spells and will acquire great techniques in-game. You can continue the game after the main quest, and you will have a good portion of terrain to play with. You'll have only one great boss to defeat and lots of side-quests. Also, there are a lot of secrets to discover in the game. Honestly the only drag is that it doesn't have a multiplayer feature. It's not quite a hard and complicated game to play, you are instructed what to do except for a few puzzles maybe, and you sometimes get help from other ... more

    5 Stars Fable, decide your future. 25/12/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A nice adventure game.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The saving and resuming system doen not work properly.

    Fable is indeed something like a simulator of life, or to better say, it simulates a whole existence: you start as a kid, and the aim of the gam is to gown up to a young than to a mature hero. But you have to decide soon on which side to stay if became a positive hero, do good actions and help people, or if instead, stole goods someone left you to watch. If you do act positively and if you do good actions, the game will develope with you as a hero, able and willing to save the world. On the other side, if you do stole as a young and kill people, you will become a thief or a brave, and the evil ... more

    5 Stars Fable 11/08/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Huge free-roaming world

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Length of main Storyline/Quest

    Being a great fan of Zelda games, I'm always looking for a Role Playing Game that will match up to the Legend of Zelda. In fable, I found one that I think comes about as close to being as good as the Zelda series as possible. In Fable, You follow the story of a young hero and the chooses of good or evil laid out in front of him, the great thing about this game is the fact that you can actually shape the way the game is played by following either the path of good or turning to the path of evil - the game itself reacts to the actions you take as your character. The storyline to this games is of ... more

    5 Stars Fable (Xbox) Review 25/04/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great Story, Great Game Play, Very Immersing, Lots of in game activites

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Allied AI could use some touching up

    Fable is a 'middle earth' type story released on the Xbox and PC. Essentially the game allows you freedom, the freedom to make choices and take good or evil choices depending on which path you would prefer. These choices affect your characters appearence and reaction from the pulic. For example, become a good person and your characters hair and face will change to lighter colours and if you become very good a halo appears above your head and the public will adore you. Become evil and your face will become streaked with black veins and your eyelids will turn red and your eyes will start to look ... more

    4 Stars A Fable About Freedom 24/12/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Wonderfully realised "freedom" concept, delightful graphics

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Too short, limited playing area

    ~ Many Paths, One Traveller ... ~ Many games promise many things, but the boasts of Fable are especially notable. "For every choice, a consequence", reads the tagline; this is a game about freedom. At its most essential level, the decision is one between good and evil - but there is so much more than that going on as you forge your destiny in Albion. If you choose to follow the dark side, will you become a feared warrior, crushing all in his path? Or a legendary Sorceror, dark magic crackling at your fingertips? Or even a wretched thief, sneaking, stealing and killing your way to a twisted ... more

    5 Stars Hero, O Hero, O - Silence fool or feel my wrath... 07/10/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Compulsive, Good graphics, Fun to play, Good value

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Some targetting issues and glitches, too short

    Fable is an award winning game which took 4 years in the making and was, prior to it's release date, the most anticipated RPG (Role Playing Game) to hit the Xbox charts. There was a tremendous hype about the game, and about what new and exciting game features it would sport, and most of that has not been unfounded as you'll see. Not playing to the usual, generic ideas as to how an RPG should be designed (graphically i mean), such as the renowned Morrowind, and Neverwinter Nights games, instead it holds its own original style, which ends up more like an adventure game, whereby your character ... more

    4 Stars Loved it 04/08/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Create characters personality, quite comical, interesting to play

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Wished it had been longer

    I loved playing Fable. I thought the interactions with other characters are brilliant and gave me a laugh! Personality file is quite weird because of the detail it goes into : e.g. number of times had sex!! but again quite funny.Enjoyed all the quests he gets raked into doing and the fact that you have to choose his path i.e. he can be a good or bad person. Every action has a consequence for your character and you have moral decisions to make too. Thought the graphics were good to an extent - the characters are a bit funny looking! Sound also was quite annoying on the game but I think you'd ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Taylor your charector, Impressive sceenary, choose your own path in game

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Monotonous in parts, too easy

    Fable begins in the town of Oakvale with you as a Young boy, a good beginning as you become familiar with the Good & evil points you will pick up through the game, you will find immediately as you gracefully kick chickens into the odd passer by being good gets you the admiration of those around you, being evil gives you the scare factor and slowly as you progress down your dark path people become scared of you and run for there life screaming when ever they get the opportunity also you grow horns and a nice pair of eyes ;). Anyway-as your family are either abducted or killed you are rescued by ... more
