    Remember when Microsoft pushed out masterpieces?
    Pepperidge farm remembers.

    Nothing has really cracked the charm and humor of Fable 1 since it's release.

    Give us Fable 4 (Or Conkers Bad Fur Day 2!)

    Good game, but I was hoping it was better. Got to know this franchise with Fable III and really like it, but then I heard Fable III was the worst in the bunch and maybe my expectations got too high. Most people like Fable 1 better than me, so you migh as well try it.

    Существуют просто Зло и Большое Зло, а за ними обоими в тени прячется Очень Большое Зло. Очень Большое Зло, Геральт, это такое, которого ты и представить себе не можешь, даже если думаешь, будто уже ничто не в состоянии тебя удивить. И знаешь, Геральт, порой бывает так, что Очень Большое Зло схватит тебя за горло и скажет: «Выбирай, братец, либо я, либо то, которое чуточку поменьше»Существуют просто Зло и Большое Зло, а за ними обоими в тени прячется Очень Большое Зло.

    Great game love the universe and all the secondary quests you can do.

    The only flaw I see is that the combat system is a little bit too simple and glunky

    Highly recommended role-playing game

    The narration of the story is very good

    The degree of freedom of the game is very high, you can buy a house, fish, dig treasure...

    Apesar das limitações da época de lançamento, o jogo envelheceu bem e continua divertido de se jogar e explorar. Ele é bem fácil de se dominar e evoluir, alguns personagens são divertidos e possui um mundo interessante.

    Красивая, милая сказка с интересными механиками и возможностями. Мы конечно получили меньше чем нам навешали, но всё равно игра получилась хорошей.

    Pretty decent game. I loved it. It is not too long and not too short also. Don't forget that this game is 16 years old. Overall, a pretty good game.

    I will for ever remember this game fondly, because of how much fun it gave me. Phenomenal soundtrack, and overall nice gameplay. I was fun to be a ugly bad guy with horns and flies flying around or a heavenly good guy that people like.s

    Fable takes the role-play element of RPGs to the extreme. You can be good or bad, your hair grow, you get old, your choices matter and have an effect on the world. I sunk many joyful hours into the game and will be replaying it many times.

    Чудесная, милая, волшебная Fable. Одна из любимых игр ever. раз 10 проходил, и каждый раз это было волшебно. Молинье засранец раньше делал дела конечно. Такую вселенную создал, с таким миром и сюжетом. Очень сильное небанальное произведение, а какая музыка была написана!Просто моё почтение!Игра на века.Чудесная, милая, волшебная Fable.

    Played the original on the first xbox console when i was young, at that time this game was really surprising and entertaining, and now that i got this version i cant believe that the sensation is the same as good! even the adicional storyline only makes it better, the fact that this game is more than 15 years old and still rockin is really amazing.

    Amazing childhood memories. Finished the game more than 5 times and every once in a while I have this urge to play it again. Excellent story, superb skill and character development. Full of choices. Unfortunately Lionhead failed to give us sequel but it's okay. You won't be disappointed.

    I played this game back when i was a little kid on the first Xbox. I always replayed the same parts over and over again, on different save files... i fully played it and finished it in 2016, if i recall correctly and wasn't disappointed. It has a great fantasy atmosphere, a nice combat system and cool monster designs! Low key the thing i liked the most.

Each location has a charm, from the saddening Witchwood to the dreadful Darkwood, they all feel unique. The soundtrack is also marvellous. The only thing that i have to say about it, is that human models didn't age well at all... as they don't look too great, especially the faces. But that doesn't keep me from saying that this game deserved and still does deserve lots of praise. Expand

    Very fun game, despite its linearity and very basic good and bad dichotomy.

    A very pleasant, warm and interesting tale, one of the favorite games of childhood and one of the favorite games in the RPG genre. And for me personally, the game is a test of time, the game has passed, I can always gladly return to this wonderful world!

    Одна из лучших игор, в которые я играл. Чудесная сказка. Проходил раза 3. Музыка, сюжэт, атмосфера, влияние на мир, все восхитительно, 10 курощупов из 10.

  1. 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.
