    Here's to hoping Fable 4 isn't a complete disaster!

    Charming storybook atmosphere lends this adventure a unique tone. The minutia of the world does a lot, all of the emotes and real estate work and customization marriages and murders combine into a very enjoyable sandbox that is quite large at the end of things. The story is also surprisingly memorable.

    Fable II was released in 2008, exclusively on the Xbox 360. It is for this reason I didn’t get to play this fantastic game until now. 14 years later, but my god… it was worth the wait.

It is for this reason I didn’t get to play this fantastic game until now. 14 years later, but my god… it was worth the wait.

    Story:
    Fable II takes place more than 500 years after the first entry. You play as Sparrow, a boy/girl that suffers from severe dysfunctional bone growth, resulting in a very weird looking male character model. You and your sister get shot in the face by the villain for being a potential hero, and after breaking every bone in your body (which subtlety explains the disfigured character model) you grow up to be the potential hero… or a greedy murderer. The choice is completely up to you, the player.

    Gameplay:
    Much like the first game, Fable II is a third-person action game. Your path of quests is mostly set in stone, though sometimes the path diverges into two ways. Your choice can have a permanent effect on Albion, though mostly on the gossip by villagers. No wonder my blade keeps slitting their throats accidentally… You can invest your experience points into physical, skill-based or magical upgrades. These upgrades will determine physical changes, but also new abilities and improving on existing ones.

    But as a hero, presentation is of great importance in Albion. You can make your hero as attractive as possible, or make him drink beer, eat red meat and pie until this obese monstrosity is mocked by everyone. Imagine being saved by an overweight, vulgar, poorly dressed, demon spawn that flips you off. In Fable II, that is possible! If you calibrate it right, it is even possible to operate in a morally grey area. Oh, and you got a dog that tells you were the treasure is. It saves a lot of time in comparison to Fable: The Lost Chapters.

    Graphics:
    Fable II came out in 2008, so these graphics have aged a lot… or so you would think! The environmental graphics are downright ancient by now, but the character models still look good, and animations still hold up. In fact, modern Bethesda games look like a hobo favela compared to Fable II…

    A very entertaining game, but there are some flaws. Time passes quickly while travelling, and in Fable II time is money. Your spouse needs constant upkeep (even if he/she is unemployed yet is perfectly able to get a job) and relationships can deteriorate quickly, leading to divorce. My advice, don’t get married in Fable II. They just became bloodsuckers squeezing you for money and sex every five minutes. Also, walking up and down every region becomes a bit repetitive at times. Fable II is an excellent game, i give it a 8/10.    … Expand

    The story is set a whopping 500 years after the events of the first game. Much has changed and if you've played fable 1 you'll enjoy seeing Albion in a new light. To stay spoiler free I will not be sharing many story details. That being said, in terms of story Fable 2 takes a step down from 1 in my opinion. The main villain in 1, Jack of blades was phenomenal, and his performance wasn't topped in 2. The story is in no way bad, it's very enjoyable and full of amazing moments, unfortunately it doesn't compare to 1.

    Weapons such as rifles and blunderbusses was introduced in Fable 2. No surprise considering the massive jump in time period. The weapons do not ruin gameplay, but compared to the swords and bows of 1, it just isn't as fun. I find it much easier to sit back and spam the ranged weapons instead of getting in with the swords.

    Fable 2 was a great sequel to Fable 1 and built off the ideas of 1 and made them better. But the story in 2 compared to 1 doesn't equal.    … Expand

    After years of not touching this game (having given it to a friend who decided to hang onto it forever), I decided to re-download a game I remember loving when I was younger in order to see if it holds up. I was thrilled to find that it did, in fact, hold up over time (for me, at least), despite having played through it several times.

I was thrilled to find that it did, in fact, hold up over time (for me, at least), despite having played through it several times.

    As a young teenager, I remember being overwhelmed by how incredible the first Fable game seemed at first glance. After playing it, I was still just as giddy. Unfortunately, however, the experience of playing the first Fable game waned as I tried to play it again. Fable 2, on the other hand, managed to do so much of what the first game did, but added a much greater emphasis on role-playing (by doing away with armour values on equipped gear, for example). And while few things will ever match how I felt the first time I played the first Fable game in the series, Fable 2 maintains the humour and world of its predecessor while adding so much that allows the game a ton of longevity.

    The fact that almost every piece of armour in the game can be dyed a massive variety of colours is simply fantastic. While I do think there is something to be desired in terms of the range of clothing available (no suits of armour are present outside of the DLC), there is a sizeable variety of clothing options, and this is very nice.

    The weapon variety matches that of prior games - while one weapon tier has been removed, the addition of multiple guns is a wonderful touch that suits the passage of time since the first game well. There are also plenty of interesting legendary weapons to be found, and using something you might prefer for aesthetic reasons will not damn you to being wrecked by any enemy. On the contrary, this game is rather easy - however, the game's ease does not detract form its quality, in my mind.

    In terms of the story, the interesting characters and very British humour spice up its good-but-not-great narrative. Characters like Hammer, Reaver (especially Reaver, come to think of it) and your dog (I lied, ESPECIALLY your dog) really bring an otherwise somewhat predictable plot to life. Also, the dog is wonderful. While he doesn't exactly function perfectly (nor does the breadcrumb trailer meant to guide your character to various locations, if I recall correctly), his mere presence is wonderful in an indescribable way. Also also, hitting things is fun! So is shooting them with guns, or blowing them up with magic!

    There really isn't too much else that I can say here that isn't praise - the series' signature sense of humour is on full display here, what with the hilarious insults the gargoyles (one of the game's collectibles) spew at you and the various murmurs of the townsfolk. I will say, however, that a character maxed out in Strength character looks a bit like a muppet, and that is a bit disturbing. I will say that the game is not overly complex or difficult. However, it is a great time.

    If you have never played a Fable game, but have a taste for action RPGs and Monty Python, go play this one. I feel the first game is too dated (despite being excellent), and its sequel is far too linear. This game toes the line perfectly, and while some of its mechanics are a little clunky by today's standards (especially in the beginning parts of the game), it will still be a charming experience.    … Expand

What's left is a game with an unbelievable sense of personality and charm. It is certainly a solid and very fun, action packed RPG, and I personally spent ages replaying the game and experimenting with various build ideas (as well as buying up every piece of real estate and becoming landlord of Albion). And you have a dog! Your faithful companion never leaves your side, constantly finding treasure for you and helping you kill the baddies. Beyond that however is the humor. Fable II is teeming with some of the most hilarious humor I've ever witnessed, video game or otherwise. It jam packs that most incredibly British, dry-style of humor into ever corner of the game, from main story dialogue to town-folk interactions, and even something as subtle as item descriptions (these are often the best). The dev team's commitment to incorporating this humor to every aspect of the game is staggering, and is nothing short of brilliant. In the end, Fable II is most certainly not a perfectly made game. It has its flaws and those are obvious - but look past these and you'll find one of the most rewarding and colorful experiences in existence.… Expand

    this is a great game. It has everything that makes a game good in my opinion. It has action,adventure,exploration,and guns... cause guns are cool. This is the only fable game I have ever played but heck, it is the best in my opinion.

The story is to just find the other three heroes and take revenge on the antagonist, Lucien; I also think the ending is kind of anti-climatic. To me the story and world seems a little linear and there's not a whole lot of free roam except traveling to towns to do various activities like buying property or working a job, which is fun. This is a great game that I find to be more for gameplay value rather than tuning into the story, so it's still a very fun game.… Expand

    I was thoroughly impressed with this video game. While it wasn't perfect I found the experience to be very enjoyable. There were lots of customizations, challenges, and various tasks to do. The sense of humor also helped the game immensely. I thought that was a large part of its appeal.

    This game is better then fable 3. The story while still am easy ride, is better then Fable 3's. It's also shorter. The combat isn't as easy and you will probably be knocked out at least once in your first play-through. However the real fun comes in with playing with your morality bars, and controlling real estate. I recommend this cheaper title over it's successor.

    I reallt enjoyed fable but the thing is I was very upset that it wasnt open world such as oblivian and fall 3. I liked the three wishes choice ,because that made me want to play it 3 different times and try each one. The thing is this made me eally want to play Fable: Lost chapters veery badly.

    This was an awesome game, honestly I had no problems with this game. Some people might not like a Game like this(it's not as serious as some), but I had no problems with that either, so A Must-Buy for any Un-Serious Gamer.

    love it, best RPG ever made. The play is amazing, loving the dog as a companion and the fighting is so simple but very addictive and can be used in many different styles from mashing the button to skilfully slaying enemys with well timed hits and combos. I also love buying everything in the game and the ability for towns to grow and change due to what you do is good as you feal as though love it, best RPG ever made.

    Fable 2 IS an extremely fun game to play, and the graphics are amazing. Many people see through all the good things of this game, only recoginzing the flaws of it and how it isn't what they expected it would be. If some people couldactually pay attention to the good parts of it than they would most likely love it. I do agree though, some parts of the game do confuse me and upset me.

If some people couldactually pay attention to the good parts of it than they would most likely love it. I do agree though, some parts of the game do confuse me and upset me. I had no idea how many glitches there were in this game and how badly they could affect your Xbox 360 system. I had only found this out while trying to solve the single glitch I had gotten so far-In the Love Hurts Quest When I try to give the man the lower body part he only stands there mindlessly- and I was completely gratefull that I hadn'tgotten the game ending glitches like the Rescuing Charlie quest. I do also agree that the game should have been released later and that they should of double checked for all the glitches, because for most people they are very annoying and ruin game experiance. It is blood boiling to know that they took years to make this game when it is below the standards of most Fable fans and that they had the longest time given to of looked for the flaws and they never took the time to fix them. Also, it was very short. Truthfully, it is the first game that I have ever truelly beaten by myself, without using cheats or making my brothers do part of it for me, which declares it as very easy. Another thing that bugs me is the lack of clothes and hairstyles in the game, and how I always seem to look fat when the fat level says zero and the fact that I have level 2 phisice ( or however you spell it ). They say that there is endless possiblities and that It would surprise them to see two different heros look the same when i highly disagree with that. I bet that if every player of Fable 2 posted how their character looked online there would be triplets and up for every perosn's character. I also wish that there was a map avalible in Fable 2, since the golden trail isn't always very dependent. After reading all the bad things about this game it is hard to give it an 8, but even through it's flaws I would most definetly choose it over Oblivion. It amazes me also that so many people think that Oblivion is better than Fable 2 by a landslide when I personally hate the graphics-the faces of the people in Oblivion look inhuman and the quests are a waste of time. I have never played the origanal Fable, and now I plan to soon. Lastly, it confuses me that they are may start working on Fable 3, even through all the negative comments. The strange thing is that even though Im confused, I still cant wait for it.… Expand

    Fable II is everything Molyneux promised the first time around. It's funny, deep, emotional, epic, and, yes, wildly charming. We are already eager for a second playthrough, and we're betting a lot of you will have exactly the same reaction. [Dec 2008, p.68]

    It’s a game that builds gradually and then becomes irresistible, a beautiful lump of an RPG that continues beyond the close of its main campaign, and will have you thinking about it when you’re not at your 360. [Dec 2008, p.79]

    The combat handles well, it’s visually stunning, the voice acting and musical score are brilliant, and the epic storyline doesn’t end before it begins (like the first game did). But the most appealing thing about it is that it delivers everything that Molyneux has promised, plus it is oozing with wit and charm - something sorely lacking from many games nowadays. At the end of the day, Fable II is a triumph and a must buy.
