Fable 2 is a game where you are able to basically do any thing you want, when ever you want. Fable 2 takes place 500 years after the original Fable game for the original xbox. Fable 2 has so many things to do, you wont be bored for a whole year!
Fable 2 has a great story where you are always wondering what will happen next. If you play this game you will sometimes never guess what will happen. There are some parts where you can guess what will happen in the next few minutes. The story keeps you going and should be finished within 10 hours if you play completely through it non-stop.
Along with the story there are dozens of side-quests, jobs, weapons to buy, and people to have your kids with. This game is just loaded with things to do. You can work as a Blacksmith, go pose for a sculpture to be placed into a town, or go get married and have a kid.
With all these things to do, there are many achievements to earn while you are doing this. Within my first play through, I earned at least 300GS. You can earn achievements for playing with your dog, working at a shop, or finishing certain main story quests. Overall these achievements are very easy to get but some take some time and are challenging.
The sound and graphics in Fable are great! They just look beautiful. The grass, trees, water, clouds, dirt, etc all blend in properly and just make the game look great. The sound all blends in. You can here from the birds way up into the sky to even your own footsteps. They all blend together into what type of environment you are in. If you are in a swamp, the sound of your footsteps change to a slushy sound, while on a dirt road they sound like average footsteps. Sound is just great in this game.
The game play is very good. You can choose from a variety of weapons to finish your enemy with. You can use swords, axes, hammers, guns, bows, and more in this game. Magic on the other hand is a little cheap as you can keep button mashing and the spell will repeat as there is no manna bar. The pub games add to the game play as you can gamble your earnings to earn more or loose lots!
Overall I give this game a 8/10 for its great game play, sound, and graphics. The game can use a little improvement because of occasional glitches and the button mashing spells.

The Xbox 360 was a fantastic console in its day with some truly classic titles, but what are the seven best games for the console?
I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*
Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.
Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.
Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.
The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.
360 had Namco hitters AC6 and RR6... both quality titles. You should at least bust out the 360 for AC6 if you can score the flight stick. Its great.
When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....
It's a nostalgia peice same reason we get thousands of YouTube videos on sega genisis. Something people have fond memories for but the era is long gone.
It's xboxs golden year imo it was their genisis years the time where they stuck it to the market leaders Sony.
They stuck nothing. Sony screwed themselves giving Xbox an opening. They would have gotten the usual smack down if the PS3 had launched at $399 and was easier to develop for.
Button mashing spells are only if you use lv 1 spells and that won't get you very far. To get off a tier 5 spell you not only need to distract you enemies but you also need plenty of time to charge up the spell. I could have 10 enemies around me and I'll use a lv 1 time spell so I can get off a lv 3 raise dead spell, then use the lv 1 time spell again to charge up a lv 5 fire spell that kills them all off :) but you need to not mash buttons in order to do that.
Plus there is no ammo for your range weapons either ;)
Awesome game but rather short and not as much to do as you are trying to make out imo. I would give it an 8 as well though really fun but by the time I finished I had pretty all but 2 abilities maxed out so character customizing isn't very deep oh and got 760GS on first play through ^^ (kind of cheated 50 of them as I just replayed the end to get the 3 endings ^.-)
"Spells can be spammed with no consequence"
- Wrong, you receive twice the normal damage while you're casting a spell.
i think you missed a brilliant part of the online, if you turn orb visibilty to everyone fable 2 turns into a borderline mmo with trade capabilities and everything
the co-op may not be much but the orb system is quite fantastic
i found the whole game rather enjoyable, i give it somewhere between an 8.5 and a 9, probably closer to 9
actually there is punishment for glitching in pub games, if you had over a certain amount of cash you received corruption points every minute, along the line of rent collecting and such
as for you spell argument, i can't say i ever button mashed with spells because that is a very ineffective way of going about the combat
