    This is the WORST game I have ever paid for (including WarZ!). If you haven't been paid to play it, don't.
    I would list the atrocities that Lionhead committed in making this game, but 5000 characters isn't enough to even start the list.
    I have never felt so cheated out of my money. If you are thinking of buying this game, consider jumping off a tall building instead.

    I decided to give this game an 8, because while it is a good game there are a couple of niggling issues.
    For a start, this game is horribly optimised for PCs. My gaming PC (which has no trouble playing almost every other recent game I've tried) lags for no reason while playing this game, and on my laptop (which can play Dragon Age 2 and MW2 on High) won't even play Fable III.

    Secondly, it's a bit... boring. At the very beginning. Although it did have it's good moments!
    For example, you have to make a really hard decision in the first half hour of playing which really livens things up and makes you realise just how much of an effect your choices can have in this game. The graphics aren't that great, but the art style works and the gameplay is pretty fun.
    Overall, I recommend this game, but only if you have a powerful PC because it looks crap without the highest setting and you need a stupidly powerful PC to do so.    … Expand

    Fable 3 - very interesting game , good story and graphics looks very good. Charming world, beautyfull colors and, I like the first Fable, of course :) . Well, I agree maybe it's to easy combat. But so what? it;s nice entertainment. Great RPG.

    If your looking for a lazy game, with little skill involved to relax when tired then this is the one. If you fly through the game in one day, which is possible - then you won't like the ending.

    Well I have never played any of the other Fable games so I was a bit nervous starting this but I have to say I loved it. It played really well on my average pc and I loved the humour so much. I noticed so many of the npcs have different voices and the males who I romanced were all a little different in many ways. It was quite sweet being able to hug and kiss and tickle your family membersWell I have never played any of the other Fable games so I was a bit nervous starting this but I have to say I loved it. It played really well on my average pc and I loved the humour so much. I noticed so many of the npcs have different voices and the males who I romanced were all a little different in many ways. It was quite sweet being able to hug and kiss and tickle your family members or any npc (hehe) The story was classic fairytale with relatively happy ending and that pleases me as a happy ending is a must for me. I would have liked a bit more deph in the main male npc romantic interest, perhaps more shared missions and activities as he was such a sweetie. I liked the ways there were of making money, very unique from my perspective because I got a bit sick of doing favours for villagers.
    It was quite a different experience for me and I will replay this game for sure.

    One complaint....my female hero was taller than everyone else and that bugged me big time, how ridiculous that she grew and no one else seemed to, even her true love needed a box to kiss her. :(

    But I think overall this gets an 8.5 from me.    … Expand

    A nice game,from the beginning to the end.And i have to apologize for my cheats(in order to gain a good end i have to use a speed change software to make money more efficently ),i just feel afraid to the bad end and i only watch the bad end scenes on the Internet,somewhat like the sytle of bethesda,but the behavior of adding some sexy contents is to be discussed.

    I loved the game's concept of developing your character as a monarch. But the combat system is not funny at all and is what prevents me to play this game twice just to see the other alternative ending.

    The Fable franchise has always been one of m y favorite game series that has come out. The first two games were originally more of a sandbox style RPG, where the game allowed you to do most of what you wanted, while still managing to keep a consistent story.

    I'd like to say you can expect more of the same from Fable 3, but that'd be a lie. Fable 3 is a much more streamlined game experience. While this isn't always a bad thing, there is a lot of things missing from Fable 3 that we have come to expect from the series.

    One of my biggest complaints about Fable 3 is the LACK of equipment. Instead of window shopping for gear that might help you out, instead of possibly planning a heist on a building to get that gear you can't afford, instead Fable 3 only has a small selection of weapons and costumes you can unlock as you progress through the game.

    There are a small selection of weapons you can buy in the shops, but they never fare any better then the "hero" weapons you get. You can unlock costumes through game progression, but they don't offer extra protection like in previous games.

    I enjoyed Fable 3, don't get me wrong. But it just feels like a shallow, dumbed down version of what we would normally expect.    … Expand

I did give it a 5 though because the graphics are quite nice (nowhere near current PC capabilities, but they made good use of their lemons) and because overall it's well executed.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Fable 3 is a game with many problems, Firstly being it was over hyped making it doomed it to fall form the beginning. This is no real surprise as nearly all Fable games have suffered similar issues. Secondly the games Fighting system not being varied enough with a basic 2 button system. But even with it many flaws (those being the worst) it is a fun game with an engaging story line with some brilliant humour that just adds to the experience. Once you have become King people do start to recognise that unlike other games but at the same time you will still have to do meaning less task for gold or to progress the story. This is what dooms it in a way is the final money grind that you have to do to get the best outcome for the kingdom, this can be very dull but once your through it it feels very satisfying in general. Great game, and easy to pick up cheap for around 8 to 15£.… Expand

    Weapons:
    -They reduced the selection of weapons

    -All weapons were fairly balanced with minimal differences between them so no point in changing.

    -All weapons upgrade with you through game so even less reason to change them. you can stay with your first weapon for entire game.

    Earning money

    -more jobs which is nice and improved house system

    -point in earning money and becoming a mogul is removed since THERE IS NO POINT IN CHANGING WEAPONS. why earn money to buy badass weapons when there is no badass weapons to buy anymore

    Morality
    -End of game is essentially not about whether you were good or evil throughout game but what you want to do in the end. If you are broke you are forced to go with evil options... if your rich you can buy your way into sainthood and choose good options

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'd say this game is overall pleasant, but it could've been more.
    The story is your standard simple "save the world from a tyrant"-fantasy cliché. It's not interesting, but it will keep you focused. You may choose the gender of your protagonist, which is refreshing; and you'll also meet some moral dilemmas throughout the story simplified into good or evil. These decisions won't affect much more than your alignment early on, as the decisions often may SOUND important, but poses as minor events later that you'll forget about soon enough.

    The fighting is simple, you'll choose from three different types of weapons that you may use as you please, although it seemed to me that the ranged variants were a lot more efficient, especially late-game. The fights has a nice pace to them, but are seldom that challenging. The amount of fighting you do feels balanced; though the rewards may feel a bit lackluster. The weapons you'll find, or buy, won't be doing you much if you don't upgrade them. And by upgrade, I mean doing chores such as killing 300 hollowmen for the specific weapon you hold to be better at killing more hollowmen. Other weapons will only activate their special powers through dubious chores including online involvement which feels more as a way for the developers to reward people who've bought the game while punishing those who illegally downloaded it; than actually involve you in any interesting gameplay.

    You may also dress your character as you please, in a range of different clothing styles. But they are all just clothing, and won't make much of a difference in combat. This is both a good and a bad thing; as it's nice to customize your character any way you want; but you'll sometimes wish there was any way to upgrade yourself for combat.

    The game mixes a relaxed but serious attitude with extreme quirkiness that sometimes come off as witty, and sometimes as just dumb. Sometimes it breaks immersion, such as when you interact with NPC's and it feels over the top. Other times, it may add to the experience, such as a quest where you're stuck inside a tabletop RPG.

    As for the main story, I have two problems with it in particular. One thing is that it takes for granted that you do care for some of the characters. The truth is that you don't get to know them well enough until you're supposed to care for them; and you'll ever only see one side of them. They are all very obvious clichés though, so I doubt there would be much to know of them besides the obvious stereotypes.

    The other part is that the game takes a new direction story wise during the ending. You think that you're about to win, when you're suddenly facing a new threat that's comes very unexplained and sudden. It's nice in one way, as this changes the gameplay style a bit. But as you progress through this problem, you're supposed to collect money; but a few hastily clicks away and your missing out on the possibility as the game doesn't explain to you that the story will proceed without any going back.

    During this time of the story, you will probably start to explore the many different functions of the game. You may buy houses, either to live in or to collect rent from. You may get married and have kids, and you may just focus on exploring the world as you wish. There's loads to do and see, but many functions are mediocre at best. They sound good on paper, but aren't very interesting or advanced once you get into it. The game has it's strength in it's questing rather than in the crammed in extra functions.

    But it's an overall big game, and it will bring you a lot of entertainment if you can see past some of the shallow aspects it has.    … Expand

    Average MMO-like experience. This game gives initially the promise of something bigger than it really is. In the end of the day it consists of zillions of repetitive actions that do not matter. Story is a mary sue stuff that does not really bring anything interesting artistically speaking; in the end Fable III is just an annoying chore.

    And throughout the opening, you get a few choices, or 'important' decisions. And guess what, It's either black or white. No gray or vague decisions..... FAIL!

    Graphics - cartoonish and yet they couldn't get it right. The world isn't beautiful or unique... It's dull and boring more like. The colour scheme isn't vibrant. The environment and atmosphere are lacking... The world isn't alive and they want to call this open world?? FAIL!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Fable 3 has received a very bad rap since its release in 2010. A bad rap it does not deserve. It's a great game. I've played all 3 titles, and thus far, I feel Fable 3 is the best in the series and is my personal favorite. And why? Allow me to elaborate.

    Fable 1 is highly overrated and is my least favorite in the series. First, you can only play a male hero. Second, people fall in love with you way too easily. Third, Jack Of Blades is way overrated as a villain. Forth, the story is shallow and boring. Fifth, you cannot have children, period. You can't even adopt. Perhaps this was done purposely by the DEVS, or maybe an oversight. Either way, its a shame, truly. A spouse, but no family? Bah! Sixth and lastly, comes the worst part of Fable 1, and that is, you actually gain Good points for killing enemies. If you want to focus on trying to be evil, you'll need to constantly kill innocents. Sacrificing people at the Temple of Skorm is the best way to gain evil pts but it was still a really bad implementation by the DEVS. What "were" you thinkin', Lionhead?"

    Fable 2 is better than Fable 1 but not by much. The only "good" thing about the game, is you can play both genders, and have a family. However, unlike Fable 3, you cannot adopt.

    Fable 3 is simply the best. First, you can play both genders. The romancing aspect is simple, but works great. You can also have children biologically, or adopt. The quest system was done very well, and many of the side quests were creatively done. The graphics are also very good and the world itself is quite eye catching. What I really like is the new Real Estate options. Not only can you buy furniture for your houses, you can change the way things look. For example, if you have a bookshelf, you have options to change if that shelf has books, food, toys or even skulls decorating it. Very cool stuff indeed. Dye packs were included, which allows the coloring of hair, clothes and armor. This means you can make up some unique wardrobes. Make up and tattoos are a thing as well to make you more attractive or frightening. Another thing I love is what they did to Bowerstone. It looks incredible. Ok, now about intimacy... It has risks just as in real life. Females can get pregnant if they don't use protection, and there is also risk of contracting STD. Ouch. Yeah. Too real, but very realistic. The story is solid and original. You play as either the Prince or Princess of the former hero of Albion, and are given the task to free the lands of the tyranny of the King, your brother! The game also has what is called, the Road To Rule. This is what many players didn't like, but I like it. And why? It's different and a change of pace. Let me explain. As you progress in the story, and do quests, you collect Guild Seals. These can be used on the Road To Rule to unlock chests which will enhance melee, magic, firearms, interactions with people and much more. BTW, you can become a King or Queen yourself in this game. How cool is that? Lastly, and as with Fable 2, you have a dog who will follow you and help you fight and find treasures. You can even change his breed and name. Oh, and you have a Butler (Jasper) who will help you with many things in the game. In closing, the only reason I am not scoring this game a perfect 10 is due to the alignment system. You are pretty much forced to be a Good Boy/Girl through the main quest, and only towards the end game can you make decisions to continue being Good or become an Evil tyrant like your brother. Other than that however, the game is superb. Very underrated. Thanks Lionhead. 9/10. Cheerio!    … Expand

    First of All, The good in the game :
    -High production value. This game truly looks like a mature fairy tale
    -Storyline Yeah, its not great but its passable, and that's saying a lot in this day and age!

    Now let us look at the bad (most of them came from good intention of the devs i am sure)
    -The 'golden bread crumbs trail' of finding the next objective. The intention behind this was clearly to have gamers avoid pulling up there maps time and again so that they could be more immersed in the world. But unfortunately, this same mechanism proves to be distracting from the world of Albion itself (Since you are constantly focusing on the golden trail, you'll not notice the hard work put into the world itself.

    -The Sanctuary this also was supposed to act like your map, your inventory screen, your quest log rolled all into one, but fails miserably. Obviously, this is an innovative idea, again to help players to be more immersed (Since map and inventory screens can be "unrealistic"). But the major problem is that it takes too long to do any of the stuff from the sanctuary. You walk from one room to another if you want to change your clothes, weapons, check you map etc. The negatives associated with the sanctuary far out way the positives

    -Doesn't feel like an rpg. In order to appeal to a more wider fanbase, the rpg elements are so scarce and pointless that this truly doesn't feel like an rpg at all.

    -Map doesn't tell you half the things is should. The real world and the map version of that world look way different.

    -Character interaction sucks. No way to describe it, sorry

    All in all, a disappointing title. Pick it up if you are a more of a casual gamer and/or if you are a fable fan... ON A GODDAMN SALE!    … Expand

    My favourite Fable game so far have got all the achievements and finished the game 4 time would recommend it to anyone. The only thing that I would change would be the combat with a gun it is all right but not my favourite I would stick with melee combat if I was you.

    Overall a very lackluster game- I loved fable, liked fable 2 (loved aside from the ending really), and hated fable 3.

    There were very few gear/weapon choices, the magic was changed dramatically (in a bad way), the gameplay was insanely easy and monotonous, and the story was not very interesting.

    Not worth playing.

    An excellent interactive fairy tale. Due to interesting moral choices, it has a lot of replay potential. [June 2011]

    A competent example of a PC port and of an RPG, but its obsessions with consumerism dampens the adventure. [Aug 2011, p.100]

    A fun, light-hearted romp, but one that pales in light of its predecessors. [Aug 2011, p.68]
