  1. You can tell the amount of love poured into this game, it really shows. An excellent title for anyone who enjoys adventure games, especially those who like the less linear feel that Fable has to offer.
  2. The production values are perfectly tuned to the game's style as the graphics and audio are beautifully implemented. Quite simply, I loved the game.
  3. Fable was, and still is, a cracking and practically beard-free role-player. Maybe in five years from now, we’ll see a sequel that actually resembles what we were initially promised.
  4. A polished and entertaining ride, jam packed with people to see and things to do. The graphics are nice, the voice acting is superb, and the combat is a lot of fun.
  5. Frustration was heightened by incorporating diverse elements that did not mesh in a smooth manner.
  6. For all its beauty, the areas you explore do seem rather small and hemmed in - especially when we're so used to expansive, open-ended RPG worlds.
  7. The sound of a leather boot impacting a chicken, and the resulting squawks and flapping that result, must be heard first hand to be truly appreciated.

It's great because you can play for hours and still not be finished. THere are tones of side quest to gain gold and experiance from and many other things to do. It is awsome that you can control almost every aspect of you life from being good or evil to getting married. I would recommend this game to anyone. Expand

    Fable: The Lost Chapters is one of the most memorable and distinct RPGs out there.
    [First of all I'd like to point out that I never played the original version of Fable on either the Xbox or PC, The Lost Chapters was and is my only introduction to this game.]
    Story: In terms of story, Fable isn't that amazing. It has a solid and engaging one, and some of the characters do stick with you, but ultimately what sets Fable appart from other games is its unique and wonderful sense of humor and charm. It's such a weird game sometimes with its jokes and inside jokes (such as certain expressions or descriptions, and even side quests) and it's all the better for it. Jack of Blades is an interesting villain, though he has way too little backstory overall, and there some very interesting characters (Maze, Scythe to name a few) but it's a serviceable story more than anything. The game also feels very rushed and, even though I tried to do everything in-between main quests, it always felt like I was getting to the big moments way too fast with no breathing room, while at the same time it managed to drag in some sections (like the Bargate Prison section). However it's Fable's interesting world and lore that do stand out and make you want to explore every nook and cranny of the world.
    Gameplay: Fable isn't that outstanding in its gameplay department neither, but it does have satisfying combat and some really cool spells. I do, however, feel that most of the spells are unnecesary as I beat the game using basically two (Berserk and Healing), but for whoever feels inclined to play the game as a mage, they will have plenty to choose from. One huge setback for me was the difficulty. It's painfully easy (except at the very beginning) and towards the half point of the main story I already had the best gear in the game which made me feel really discouraged to continue playing. Also the sidequests really dry-out in the second half of the game, there's not really a lot going on outside of the main quest, which is a shame considering that in the first half there were one or two side-quests for every main quest. It took me around 20 hours to complete the game and all of its sidequests (demon doors, silver chests, fighting club, side missions, etc), which is a decent amount of content, though you'd expect more from an RPG.
    Graphics: It is a good looking game, neither brilliant nor bad. It holds up pretty well, in spite of some very repeated characters models and animations. Also the facial animations are not that good though they are good enough. The regions are very diverse and interesting, though they are somewhat small and in between a lot of loading screens.
    Music and Sound: The music in this game is outstanding. It really transports you into the fantasy land that is Albion and really helps give character to all of the diferent regions, each with its own music. It truly is superb. In terms of sound, the voice acting is pretty good overall, sometimes a bit cheesy though it really fits with the tone of the game; the enviromental and creature sounds are fine.
    Overall I think Fable: The Lost Chapters is a fantastic game. The charm and character that this game has is so unique and every time I started it I felt like I was transported into another world. Maybe the individual pillars that make this game are not that outstanding, but when put together into a whole package, Fable: The Lost Chapters makes for a memorable and super enjoyable ride.
    Overall Score: 9.0

    A pretty good RPG game, even though it is linear.

    A pretty good RPG game, even though it is linear.
    The characters and world are likeable and interesting and your choices do actually matter. There is even romance and marriage in this game.
    The game is long enough and even contains some post-game, which is quite short, but still fun to play.
    This game feels like a fairy tale (or a fantasy tale) in which you embark on your adventure to become a hero, meet several returning characters on your way and maybe accomplish your dream at the end.

    The controls in this game are not bad, even though they could've been much better, traversing through menus is annoying, as everything is split up into sub-menus. Graphics and audio are nice.
