A character's life story is created from childhood through adulthood and on to old age. One can grow from an inexperienced child into the most powerful being in the world, spoken of by all and immortalized in legend. As additional story and side quests await, so too does the path of righteousness, as well as the life of evil. With every choice, a character transforms into a reflection of his actions and decisions. Age leaves characters wizened and battle leaves characters scarred in the world of Fable: The Lost Chapters.

    The Lost Chapters looks as good as the original game, which still can hold its own against any other game released on Microsoft's game system.
  2. If you simply can't get enough Fable, then by all means give the developers and publisher some more of your hard earned cash.
  3. The game addresses one of the chief concerns of the first Fable, its length.
  4. While the main game can take about 15 hours at most to beat, completing all of the additional side-quests may take you up to three times as long.
  5. The story is tightly linear, so it's hard to make your character's tale your own.

    It's great fun to build your own good or evil hero, and with the Lost Chapters content, there are easily 20-plus hours of fun to be mined out of it. [Jan 2006, p.58]

    RPGs as indistinct and shallow as Fable are rare, and for good reason.

The combat is still solid enough to meet today's standards in well made games. There's plenty of different armor sets, and you can mix match. I played this game when it first came out, and I still play it today-- the story line is a gripping one, and lets you choose here and there what you want to do based on bad or good. Your appearance even changes due to the choices. There's multiple ways of making money for an Action RPG, from just killing monsters, to renting out houses and collecting the money. I have played all the Fables, and the first is still by far the best. If you haven't played it and are skeptical on buying it, I highly recommend this game. Expand

    After playing the same games over and over that lay on my shelf, I realized that, well, I had to get a new game. After much thought the game After playing the same games over and over that lay on my shelf, I realized that, well, I had to get a new game. After much thought the game ended up being Fable: The Lost Chapters. I had looked Fable up and it seemed like it would deliver, so I went ahead and bought The Lost Chapters knowing extra content couldn't hurt. Now I'll admit, it took me perhaps an hour before I actually really got into the game, but once I did, wow. Just wow. It completely shocked me. The game is just phenomenal in the aspect that it delivers something that I believe has declined over the past years in games, and that is simply a little thing called 'fun'. But on top of that the game also features some beautiful graphics accompanied with crisp, right-on-the-spot sound. Now I may not know a whole lot on all the promises that were made on behalf of The Lost Chapters or even Fable in general, but I must say this. With all I've been hearing, I gathered that Fable was pinned up against Morrowind, and while I truly love Morrowind (in my opinion it was better than Oblivion), I must say that with Fable, you're put right into all of the fun and action straight away while with Morrowind it takes some time and that is why many gamers going into Morrowind expecting a huge blast right away and are impatient might be turned off by the some-what slow start. No offense to Morrowind at all, but that is my opinion. Anyways I would recommend this game fully to any gamer just looking to get away and be immersed in a world much more exciting than ours. I even recommend this to the Fable veterans who never got around to buying The Lost Chapters thinking a little extra content wouldn't be worth the money, but trust me, it is. The way I see it is: you're getting to play through the original Fable which is great with a side dish of extra quests, more areas to explore, more armour and some new spells, more monsters to kill, and more weapons to kill them with. All in all I haven't picked up a game recently that has fully immersed me into the world that the game was offering until now. That game is called Fable: The Lost Chapters. Expand

Lo intentaba de verdad, sin embargo las limitaciones de su tiempo y las habladurías de Peter Molyneux, terminaron por opacar la evidente belleza de este título. Un juego que sin tomarse tan en serio a sí mismo, resulto ser una experiencia con cierta profundidad, no me pregunten por qué, ciertamente no es la historia ni los diálogos. Simplemente algo de su atmosfera es verdaderamente mágico. Expand

    More of an expansion pack than anything! Im afraid that Fable bit off ten times more than it could chew with the whirlwind of RPG greatness More of an expansion pack than anything! Im afraid that Fable bit off ten times more than it could chew with the whirlwind of RPG greatness it promised prior to release...and fell flat at Morrowinds feet after release. Its just too limiting, the whole world is just a highway from Bowerstone in the North to Twinblades camp in the south, the new areas are nothing special and the sidequests are more like pointless busywork to make the most of the fishbowl-like environment you feel trapped in. Claustraphobia ahoy! Expand
