Fable 2 Review (Xbox 360)

The story begin's as your a young boy or girl who is doing small odd job's to obtain 5 gold coins to purchase a magical music box. As you collect the gold coin's you begin to notice that the decision's you make effect the people and the world around you. As you continue playing through the story you'll quickly realize even the clothes you wear have an effect on everything around you.

In the very beginning you meet a few major characters in Lionhead Studio's Fable 2. One character in particular is man's best friend who is with you throughout the story. Our furry little friend has his own unique personality based on the choices you make throughout the story. Lionhead Studio's really hit the nail on the head with the implementing of the Dog into this title. The Dog is just as important to you in Fable 2 as your sword and ranged weapons because he finds many interesting treasures for you throughout your journeys in Albion, all the while preforming his own antics based on how your playing. Much like man's best friend, each town will have its opinon of you based on many factors in the game.

Although the main story isnt very long about 8 to 10 hours if you play it through continueliously you become so engaged in the plot of this game that it really doesnt effect you very much. But I must admit the ending left me stunned and wanting more... Alot More!

All in all the combat system in this title was very easy to learn and pick up being a hack and slash style with special moves and abilities. The magical abilities left alittle bit to be desired but that wasnt something that stopped you from enjoying the game. Graphically the game was absolutely beautiful!

For big time RPG fans and new comers to the genre it is a must buy for any 360 owner. Very few flaws in this game have given it many good ratings, Lionhead definitely hit a homerun with this game. It brought a few new and exciting concepts to RPG's as well as amped up some older ones to bring you an awesomely fun and crazy game that can be enjoyed for many many all nighters. This is a game you have to atleast rent and experience some awesome adventures.

Wasn't very bad but felt repetitive after awhile. The voices were very funny and had me cracking up for the first 10-15hours of the play though.

The 7 Best Xbox 360 Games - Console Exclusives Win the Day

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?

DrDoomer888d ago

I'm pretty used to these lists being bad, but this one is particularly s#ite.

raWfodog888d ago

I think Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon should have been added to the list.

BrainSyphoned888d ago

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*

Husker42c888d ago

I really loved Shadow Complex.

P_Bomb888d ago

Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.

ChasterMies888d ago (Edited 888d ago )

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.

Abnor_Mal888d ago (Edited 888d ago )

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.

darthv72887d ago

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.

Hofstaderman888d ago

When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....

Profchaos887d ago (Edited 887d ago )

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.

BehindTheRows887d ago

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.
