    The game is great fun but every time I try and spend my experience points it crashes. I have heard that there a quite a few bugs in the game that causes crashes. Things to do with video cards, sound cards, themes (mainly from people who use Windows Blinds, which by the way sucks since it uses alot of system resources), and what ever it is that causes the game to crash fro me.

I have not figured that part out yet since Microsoft and fourms are no help. I would definately recommend the game (having finished it for Xbox so I know what the whole game is like) if you can get around the bugs.… Expand

    Gothic style but better because you can chose your own future.

    This game is hands down one of the best action adveturs that i have seen in a long time. Fable brings character customization to an all new level. There are no other games like it on the market. Its a must have for all xbox fans!

    Go Lionhead Studios. Even if this game is rather short - but it's so damn fun you'll want to replay it a good number of times to get the full experience. Fun, that's not a word you hear a lot anymore in video-game-land. Everything has to be an immense challenge, graphically stunning, and introduce groundbreaking gameplay. Fable really has none of that, but it's a great Go Lionhead Studios.

You'll spend more time playing this game than any other game you've bought this year. Not out of an obligation to get your 50 bucks worth, but because you're having too much fun.… Expand

    This is an amazing game- although it is a little shorter than some other rpgs it more that makes up for it with the costomizability, and choices that other RPGs wouldent even think of giving you.

    Good game. Might do with a little tune-up on the quest explinations (for instance the one with the "Fout Blue Mushrooms", where u can't find-out exactly where one is if you didn't pay attention at first) and on the skills. being a mage gets you relatively easy past all the monsters, because you get to use really powerful spells, but as an archer you pretty-much don't stand Good game.

As a global idea, the game is worth playing, it being a good spare time-filler. Aaa... I particulary liked the new ideas, like tatoos, haircuts, fishing and digging for treasure.

    A very accessible and pretty RPG. Perhaps it could benefit from added complexity and higher difficulty.

    Fun, but it lacks depth compared to other PC roleplaying games. [Nov 2005, p.78]

    You can see for yourself that Fable has damn fine looking graphics. The attention to detail can not really be underestimated in this respect. The character models look brilliant and the aesthetic changes in your hero’s look over time add just that little bit extra to the game’s finesse.
