    Replaying Fable: The Lost Chapters on the original Xbox was okay I guess. I wanted to try something different and play as an evil wizard instead of my normal neutral archer build and there are just so many bosses that are like impossible or damn near to beat with just spells and nothing else. I just hate it when a game gives you options to choose how you want to play but they aren’t veryReplaying Fable: The Lost Chapters on the original Xbox was okay I guess. I wanted to try something different and play as an evil wizard instead of my normal neutral archer build and there are just so many bosses that are like impossible or damn near to beat with just spells and nothing else. I just hate it when a game gives you options to choose how you want to play but they aren’t very viable options. It's not a bad game but after beating it so many times and becoming frustrated so many times with mechanics that are **** and or just don’t work properly it makes me upset to say that this game is just really really **** overrated.

    I do own the PC version and I love it and the controls are so much better but it doesn’t change the things that just don’t work and that are broken as hell. I love the music, I love the world, the characters but this game just feels like a fancy birthday cake that looks like it’ll taste amazing but then you bite into it and get a mouth full of rocks. I’ve heard a lot of gripes about Fable II but I think it's a superior game. Also, the match game in Bowerstone is the best.    … Expand

    The story is tightly linear, so it's hard to make your character's tale your own.

    This expansion adds a few sidequests and features, but doesn't do much else to address the original's shortcomings. Might be a fun choice for new fans.

    For gamers like me – who simply like to have a deep, challenging and fun romp through a mystical and medieval world – Fable fits the bill perfectly.
