IGN Fable 2 Review

US, October 20, 2008 - What kind of hero will you be? This is the central theme of Fable II, Lionhead's follow-up to its popular Xbox title. Will you be a selfish hero who hordes his money and looks for any opportunity to earn more, even if it means others would suffer? Or will you be a noble hero who gives to the poor and would sacrifice everything he owns to protect the innocent? How you answer these questions will affect how the world perceives you and determines the future of Albion...

Flop.

If you feel upset about Fable IIs confirmed flop status,please send me a message and I'll respond in a timely fashion detailing why Fable II flopped and how you can avoid future flop releases from Microsoft

bouncybullet6425d ago

This is a great score.

Add 1 more game to the long list of Great games on Xbox 360.

heyheyhey6425d ago

oh will you please stop being an idiot.... it's a good game

elshimiablo6425d ago

dailygame gave it 7.8 and many websites like Gamereactor/Teamxbox gave it 8 /10

The review average will soon go below 90. Another flop on x360

Lord Shuhei Yoshida6425d ago

Dont worry about it Lolliflop,there are plenty of other flops on the 360 soon.Let the xbots have their first AAA game of the year

TheNewerGuy6425d ago

Did someone say Fable II would outscore MetalGearSolid 4?

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!

Lord Shuhei Yoshida6425d ago

@The newer Guy

Someone said that? ROFL at the xbots

White-Sharingan6425d ago

Im sorry I love fable but it pisses me off that when a PS3 game recieves a score lower than a 9; its a instant flop

but when a 360 game gets that score; its a good; NO; GREAT SCORE! for the bots

what a sad day :\ Im still buying fable but I thought it would at least be in the 9's+

Marquis_de_Sade6424d ago

how on earth did you get those bubbles?

KingDizzi6425d ago (Edited 6425d ago )

Very nice score but IGN UK giving a higher score than IGN US and same for LBP with both games being made in the UK? We have to stick TOGETHER.

*god save the queen*

Jokes aside a very nice score, Peter delivered

KingDizzi6425d ago

Fable 2 + GeOW 2 + LBP = Happyness

chaosatom6425d ago (Edited 6425d ago )

not too inflated *cough* EUROGAMER *cough* and not too low *cough* the site that gave it a 7.8 *cough*

andthensum6425d ago

IGN gave it:

8.0 for Presentation
8.0 for Graphics
8.5 for Sound
8.5 for Gameplay
8.5 for Lasting appeal

The average of those scores is a 8.3. So where did 8.8 come from?

8.3 is still a good score but why inflate it?

Lifendz6425d ago

your console has the shooters, the action games, and now the RPGs. Heck, I have like no RPGs to play on my PS3 while 360 owners have several to choose from. I still love my PS3 but I have to give MS props for making RPGS a priority and to Peter M for delivering a great game. Wish I could play it.

Is Fallout 3 out yet?

Sarcasm6425d ago

@1.5 IGN doesn't average the score. They even say it in their review matrix.

Rock Bottom6425d ago

IGN states clearly in every review that the final score is not an average of the other scores.

grilledgorlupa86425d ago

Granted they dont and shouldnt average their scores but its kinda weird to score something a lot higher when none of the categories scored over the overall score. Not saying its right or wrong just pointing it out.

Thats why I hate game review scores you cant really score art imo. Its one thing to have scores in sporting events like diving where their are rules judges looking for specific things and the athlete training to meet those specific things but another to score something that the end result only matters if its good which is an opinion.

superflyguy6425d ago

So close to becoming a AAA title on meta critic...

ManOnFire6425d ago (Edited 6425d ago )

In regards to the overall score and the average being lower than the final score. I think this is done to reflect a certain tilt or in other words the sum of the whole being greater in the end than the sum of the parts.

thereapersson6425d ago

IGN US gave it an 8.3 and IGN UK gave it an 8.8

mikeslemonade6425d ago

Fable 2 was always going to get a score like this low 9s and 8s. No suprise here. It was the others who were hyping this game up.

Confirmed:Legend of Zelda-Twilight Princess looks better than Fable II

Under my desk.

Hope that answers your question

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?

DrDoomer903d ago

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

raWfodog903d ago

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

BrainSyphoned903d 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*

Husker42c903d ago

I really loved Shadow Complex.

P_Bomb903d ago

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

ChasterMies903d ago (Edited 903d 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_Mal903d ago (Edited 903d 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.

darthv72902d 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.

Hofstaderman903d ago

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

Profchaos902d ago (Edited 902d 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.

BehindTheRows902d 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.
