    It's been interesting to see how critics respond to the latest iteration of a well known game franchise over the course of this year.

With so many top-notch titles the market itself has felt more than saturated with grade-A content. This is far from a bad thing for us gamers. Quite the opposite as it marks a new step in gaming where we aren't overstocked on too much random IP and have a plethora of games to choose from.

    The drawback has been in the way games have been received and the strange ambiguity that game critics have put forth of late. It's been a neverending series of "damned-if-you-do-damned-if-you-don't" reviews that seem to be in constant conflict with other games. When a game like Fable III hits the shelves you'll see critics lauding the game as a triumph for its hilarity, size and willingness to change the mold, and yet another game will be crushed for doing the same. What do we as players want? The same game again? Do we want it to change? The difference in this perspective is causing critics to appear extremely random in their desires. The frustration of this all is knowing that yet another by-the-numbers FPS will be out here shortly that will roll in praise for no solid reason. We, as gamers, deserve better than that. As a result I urge you to enjoy the title for yourself and ignore negative reviews for this game because after several hours (all night) I can stamp it with a seal of greatness.

    Fable III has what I will call the Star Wars: The Force Unleashed syndrome. By that I mean you'll have harsh critical bile spewed over changes in the franchise and yet the fans will flock to it because it has a certain charm that just can't be labeled. The humor of the game is as hilarious as it's ever been and yet there are moments of true human drama that should tug at you emotionally. The games engine feels slightly dated at times, but it's never a drawback and might be considered a perk to veterans of the series. The story can feel slightly contrived at times, but there are twists to be found that make it worthwhile. It's difficult to discuss without spoilers but suffice it to say that the story is far more engaging than the so far more critically appraised Fable II.

    Everything is improved in every way. From the graphics to the story to the humor to your dog there is nothing that hasn't seen a step up in the series. Enjoy it for yourself and take the game in the lighthearted fashion it is meant to be played. If you don't you will miss out on one of this years top must play games.    … Expand

The quests are fun though and so is almost everything else in the game except the work. Pressing X,A and Y to make a pie is not fun, the only fun (funny) thing about it is the British accents "Oh that's a good pie!" and "I might keep that one for me self!" was a laugh. I loved being king and queen of Albion (I played it twice) and its little quests will keep you coming back for more. The epic battles weren't the best they could your allies may have been not been required but they would have been visually nice. I was surprised at the battles, but that's basically it. 8… Expand

    Fable 3 was an amazing game to me. I have played it through about 3 times now, and each time its just as good. I don't play too many games like this, so I'm surprised i have enjoyed it this much. Going to play Fable 1 & 2 again now.

The menu system is gone, which is disorenting at first, but as you continue and hit the start button the 'road to rule' comes in; which is a floating road that leads to a distant castle with treasure chests you open along the way for new abilities and skills. This became a feature I really liked, it keeps you in the game, world of Albion much much more, and you spend less time treading through menus to find your items you collect, and your still able to do the things you enjoy, like playing dress up, your man in womens clothes, costumes, dye hair, etc. The other major change is the CO-OP; which is now revamped and actually very fun! Your co-op partner is now their own character and they are not tethered to your same screen like a bad child not trusted to not get into things they shouldn't be into. Your able to work w/ a co op partner now in a much more cohesive way, for example blast an enemy with Vortex and your partner can shoot lightning or a fireball at them for a great combo! You also can marry co-op partners and divorce, and obviously cheat on them, or better yet, enjoy living the life of a polygamist. The story has many many side quests, treasures to be found, children to have, or now adopt, and then the main quest-overthrow the king-tyrant, and rule Albion. This is where the new featurs of ruling becomes very intuitive and fun. As a final note; Many of the characteristics of fable 2 are still present as well such as the fighting-magic, weapons-with a new twist, and melee-new twist-weapons develop through time/use, you buy houses/rent houses, add furniture to them, sell them to make money, etc. So, my final thought is this game is very very fun. The achievements are great, original, and will take you HOURS to obtain, I have been playing 14 hours so far, and there is plenty of more game to be had. I am a picky gamer- and usually don't buy new releases, but this was a good buy. However if you hated fable 1/2, you will probably not like this. But if you enjoyed, like, or loved the other fables, you will really enjoy this game, as it is much much much better!… Expand

If u like fable 2, u will like this. the story is good. u get to start a revolution, and then rule the kingdom. co-op over live has improved so u can use your character, have different cameras, and get experience (now followers/guild seals). the things i didnt like is u cant buy/rent houses right away, or get married right away. you have to get far enough on the road to rule, the progression system used. also not a huge fan of the touch system, like holding hands. wish it was still follow like in fable 2. still a great game, with alot to do. collectibles, and whatnot. great game. oh i personally love u can marry NPC and people online, and have kids and STDs, fun stuffâ… Expand

On the plus side the story is much better then Fable 2 (the ending of two is referenced in a hilarious moment where the developers make fun of them selves) and there's also a new interactive menu system call the sanctuary, while this is a neat addition it tend to be glitchy and could just as easily have been a normal menu. Though it is cool to see all your gold piled up in front of you, or see you clothes before you actually put them on. The game is also nicely paced, when I found myself easily killing enemies it wasn't long until they got hard, though you won't die often... and there's not really a penalty if you do. Now the biggest downside is the glitches, you'll encounter at least a few by game's end. You can't use this weapon, Jasper stops talking, or you wife is randomly killed :( A little polish on the developers end could have gone a long way. And finally the story is more interactive, the "good" decision may now always be the "good" decision. You'll need to compromise and do some bad things to make ends meet. In the end Fable 3 might not be the tightest experience on Xbox, but it is one of the most unique, and should not be missed.… Expand

    I've read many reviews and most all of them compare Fable II very heavily with Fable III saying "If you like II you will like III".

That may be the case, but let me say that I almost HATED Fable II. I came into Fable III with low expectations hoping against hope that I wouldn't have another depressing experience. I was not let down. Fable III's story is (IMHO) hands down much better than Fable II's. It is more gripping, more compelling, and all-in-all more enjoyable in the way it is told, executed, and paced. I find that was the deciding factor in my enjoyment of this game. Now on to the rest. The combat has once again been simplified to 3 face buttons: X for melee, B for magic, and Y for ranged. Combat is far too easy and not once was I really challenged. I in no way take this to mean that I was good at the game. If you DO want a challenge then play the entire game without using magic. The combat lets you know right off the bat that this is a game for the casual gamer. The sanctuary menu element was a fresh take and while it could have been better implemented was still much preferable to wading through a slew of tabs. The fact that my butler kept trying to sell me things from the Marketplace was rather annoying though. An up in the amount of clothing items offered was nice, but clothing does as much for how you are perceived as your choices throughout the story. That is to say "nothing". Whether you are good or evil does zero to your outward appearance besides changed the color of your tattoos which is a bit of a let-down. The only thing that does change is what NPCs say to you, which doesn't matter in the slightest. Quests are standard, but anything outside the main story is for coalitionists only in that its necessary to do these to acquire the max number of guild seals. All-in-all this is an enjoyable game, but the depth is lacking which comes especially to light in the second half of the game. You can read about that in any review and so I won't spoil it here, but I'll just say that it's far too cut and dry and the deciding factor ($) is so easy to obtain it takes away any real moral weight to your decisions. So here's the beef: If you're a Fable fanboy, looking for an RPG to steal your time, or are new to the genre then this isn't too bad a choice to play through once or twice at most, but in the larger picture, this game is nothing special. Thanks for your time.… Expand

    Fable 3 is a great game, there is no doubt about it. It surpasses the first and second easily. The interesting thing is that there are difficult moral decisions to make (but the producers make sure that you can be a completely benevolent person if you desire). That said, there is freedom to do whatever you want as a ruler. Child labor? Sure. Leave citizens to die in the desert? Sure. TheFable 3 is a great game, there is no doubt about it.

That said, there is freedom to do whatever you want as a ruler. Child labor? Sure. Leave citizens to die in the desert? Sure. The beauty here is the freedom. The characters are deep and engaging and the story is quite good, the antagonists are thoroughly despicable and you feel an urge to deal with them. Another cool thing is that your personal behavior doesn't dictate how you are as a ruler. If you have enough gold, you can bankroll everything out of your own pocket (though I wish you didn't get morality deductions from taking cash out if I paid all out of pocket...) The game is great but I have a few qualms. I wish that that there were a set of global sliders to set all rent or all prices at once. Other than that, the GUI is nice and made much more of a difference than i thought it would. The combat is fluid and cool, you can have any combination of magic, melee, and ranged. I had 30 melee kills and something like 1500 ranged kills at the end. You are given the freedom to develop the character the way you want. I recommend that you get this game, I just finished playing through and I want to play as an evil character now, but part of me doesn't want to deal with the grim decisions I would make. I actually felt obligated to repay those that helped me out. The game could be a littler longer, but there are plenty of side quests.

    THE POSITIVE
    From the moment you re-enter Albion you'll feel the magic that Lionhead created. It's funny, beautiful and most of all unique. It's something that you won't find in any other the game. Without any spoilers, -> You'll make a journey that will be long remembered, choices that really make you think and voice acting that'll take you away from reality. I can't praise this game enough.

    THE NEGATIVE
    Though besides all these positive things, Fable 3 still lacks the customization of your characters face. Don't get me wrong, you can still choose to have a beard, make-up, hats, etc. but nothing as in changing the nose, eye-color etc. This is something I hope they will change in the future.
    Bugs is another annoying thing that you will encounter while traversing Albion. I myself have experienced several bugs that made me restart the console, luckily the autosave is rather common and it won't put you too far back in the story.

An extremely short first person shooter with a hacked and broken online multiplayer, but because it was COD it got automatic praise from the critics who just overlooked it's obvious shortcomings. Fallout New Vegas is another game that is literally broken and often times unbeatable due to glitching (including my experience with it. The game literally freezes at a certain point and now I can not go on in the game any more). The scores for New Vegas are consistantly high just because it's a Fallout game. Then great games like Fable 3 and The Force Unleashed 2 are getting mediocre reviews. Last time I checked these were GAMES. Games are made to be played. In the Star Wars the critics all say the gameplay is much improved, but they don't like the story so much so they give it a 5. Fable 3 they say the gameplay is improved but they don't agree with the direction of the story so they give it a 6. Ugh. Anyway, Long story short, BUY THIS GAME.… Expand

    I found Fable III to be a lot of fun, which is ultimately the most important thing you could ask of a game. It has its shortcomings -- a few technical bugs occasionally rear their ugly faces and the disjointed design stunts some of the more emotional moments -- but all told itâ

    Lionhead carefully preserved everything that made Fable 2 so good. Though it's a pity that the "king simulator" concept is totally wasted here.

    There are more highlights in the first two missions of Black Ops, then in Medal of Honor. The requirements of Treyarch seemed to be better, than in the past few years. They made an interesting setting. In addition, there's a nice zombie mode and an overwhelming multiplayer. No doubt, this is Treyarchs best Call of Duty ever!

    Flaws in design and execution are even more obvious with this new game and, as usual, Lionhead fails to live up to the expectations.
