    It’s hard not to feel sympathy for the funny concept of See the Future, but its main content it’s brief and certainly inconsistent. Amusing quests and its low price are the main reasons to pay attention to this.

    A brief excursion back into the Fable II world. Not nearly as long as we would have hoped, though the low price tag makes up for that somewhat. The quests are more diverse than in the last DLC. Gives another reason to have a look back into Fable II, even if it is only for a few hours.

    Overall, the DLC is still short. One can blow through all the quests in two and a half hours. That being said, gamers who played Fable II, beat it, and enjoyed it, but ultimately shelved it after one play-through won’t find anything compelling enough to bring them back. Contrastingly, Fable II nuts will find a good excuse to jump back into one of the gems of 2008, and get a glimpse, albeit a short one, into what’s in store for the Fable universe.

    It's hard to hand out a recommendation for the content in Fable 2: See the Future considering how it seems to revel in pulling the plug on you, not to mention the fact that the glimpse of the future you get to see is fleeting and not at all memorable.

    Fable 2 See the Future feels more of a package than the previous Knothole Island DLC and is another good reason to buy the main game or to revisit Albion.

    While See the Future certainly lengthens the Fable II experience, it does little to expand it.

    The two new quests are fun, but the brevity of the download and the lame hint at the future left me feeling let down.

    While See the Future undoubtedly delivers on its title, giving you a single feverish glimpse of a potential new direction for the series, this odd collection of entertainments offers far more than a mere early-warning hype machine dressed up with a few free haircuts for your dog. In its cheeky refusal to conform, it’s also a chance to see Albion’s present, and take another look at a game that’s both fascinating and gently flawed.

    Don’t get me wrong, See The Future is an enjoyable couple of hours, but for $7, you’re probably better off getting a goldfish … it might have more life in it.

    Fable 2's DLC See the Future is better than the other DLC offering Knothole Island, but still isn't a ground breaking DLC and isn't that greatFable 2's DLC See the Future is better than the other DLC offering Knothole Island, but still isn't a ground breaking DLC and isn't that great off an experience, ultimately the story is better than Knothole Island and is less repetitive, and gives you a look into Fable 3 which is really cool, but the price of admission is pretty steep, all in all i would recommend for at least one play through, but buy the platinum hits edition of Fable 2 if your interested in this.… Full Review »

    Here's the secret to getting the most out of the Fable 2 DLC: bide your time.

I got Knothole Island and See the Future the same day and just played the entire game through again with a new character. It made the entire experience better, and from what I see, made the DLC seem more worthwhile. As supplemental material as opposed to something to be taken on its own merits.… Full Review »
