    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Been a good while since I’ve played (likely around 10 years) and so, O should probably get to playing it again. Great game but there a certainly areas it is lacking what could have made it a true masterpiece. The end may not show in anyway that you can have it all and yet depending how you play it you really can have the best ending (technically the 3rd, more of a Ending 1-circumstance 2 I’d consider it tbh) and that’s all I’ll say. 7.5… Expand

    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.

    A good game, but compared to the rest of the parts, for me it is not so good and thirilling.

    A largely serviceable Fable game that (at least in my mind) does not deserve the critical panning it has received since its release.

Some criticisms are perfectly warranted, however - in some respects, the entire game feels like a tutorial, and there is some undeniable pretence evident in how it presents mechanics like hand-holding. Furthermore, I encountered a game-breaking bug in one playthrough, and found the weapon morphing mechanic quite frustrating due to my inability to choose how I wanted my weapon to look. Overall, Fable 3 is solid and enjoyable, but ultimately even harder to return to than either of its prequels.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Fable III is one of my main childhood games that in the recent years I always wanted to replay, and so I did. Very fun story with characters that you get attached to easily. Music is great and I just love the ambience so much. I’m a fan of games that give you freedom of to choose what happens in the game. I do feel like the game took a bad turn on the second half of it but. Could’ve been better but it was still very enjoyable. I also want to play the other Fable games when I get them since they say they’re the best from the series.… Expand

    More of the same form it's two predecessors but still a good game that brought the trilogy to an end.

    much more could be done but the gameplay is static and not very dynamic. Very repetitive in some moments of the game and many bugs.

    Middling gameplay is elevated by solid charm, character and music. Gameplay is arcadey but satisfying enough.

    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

    I have recently played all the Fable games on Xbox One and Fable III is a definite improvement in every possible way.

    Audio and graphics are as good as anything you will see in more recent games. Gameplay is fun simply more of what you have previously seen in the previous Fable games. The main story difference in this third game is you do not get to play your character as a child.

    If you enjoyed the action and humor of the previous games then you will enjoy this game just as much.

    Highly recommended for fans of action RPGs.

    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.

    I want to give this game a score like the 9 I gave Fable 2, but I just cant. This game did not live up to expectations. I did enjoy the game, but not as much as Fable 2. Fable 3 is just kind of there if you know what I mean. I tried to be the best, but Fable and Fable 2 outshine it all day long!

Unlike a lot of people I actually enjoyed the first two games Although they were never filled with the quality or quantity of Content Peter Molyneaux always promises they were still pretty good.This game was a huge step backwards for the Franchise and the start of a slippery path to getting themselves shut down by Microsoft.

    The Good

    --Good Graphics
    --Good Story not great but wasted on a game that's mated to repetitive/un-intuitive combat and progression system that feels like it's geared towards kids and has no place in a game with an M-17 ESRB rating.
    --A few new and unique game-play mechanics but they get dull and repetitive fast.

    The Bad

    --Everything Else that makes a game a game.
    --The implementation of DLC was horrible and a lesson to the rest of the industry on how not to do DLC in a game. Wanna play Co-Op? better download that stupid Yule Hat and just about all the other useless things they try and sell you.You basically had to have matching DLC with the people that you played with(there's a ton of stupid little items in the game store) which sounds exactly like it is.

    What's really unfortunate is that this could've been a Mature Zelda-Like Franchise for Microsoft that they could have milked for years but either Microsoft had too much control over them and didn't know how to utilize them(getting a developer with a terrible track record in Online Co-Op to make a Co-Op Online only game is probably not a great idea) or the Bosses/management at LionHead studios were too incompetent to carry on without Molyneaux wiping their ***. It's a shame we'll never get to see this "Dark" Fable game they were apparently hoping to make or any other game from them for that matter.Oh well

    Please don't buy this game. If you were unfortunate enough to miss out on a free copy from Microsoft don't worry about it cause your not missing much. The lack of fun and challenging gameplay makes this a game that's not worth your time or money.    … Expand

    Maybe Fable 3 is not so heavy RPG, no standart menus etc
    But its a very ORIGINAL game! Something NEW in game industry!
    Sanctuary are very brilliant idea - what game will have something like this??
    Also, a part, when Hero become a king is my favourite!

    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.
