Great Game, Way too Easy.
User Rating: 7 | Fable XBOX
Fable, as we all know, was supposed to be the game to end all games with boat loads of freedom and the ability to live life as opposed to simply working your way through the action-based campaign. Well, that was a load of crap. Yes you can do other stuff, but getting married or drunk or changing your appearance is exactly that, other stuff. It never really becomes more than a side distraction and certainly not anything that would have me hanging around for a long time afterward. Fable campaign, then, is a cool little story, but (and I'm being completely honest here) I suck and even I was able to trounce this game without a second thought. I mean, my friends are serious gamers and I can only imagine them pissing themselves after realizing how simple the final boss fight was. I actually beat the final boss four times over so i could keep making different deciosions on how I handled the ending. It was just pathetic. In hindsight, I think that there were just far too many exploits to be taken advantage of. Having trouble with the rock monster? Well, then just hack away at his legs in close quarters and back away when he jumps. Having trouble with the final boss and his long distance attacks? Then just blast him with lightning and don't give him a chance to breathe. Details like that with a enemy AI that wasn't intelligent at all was what really killed the game for me. Yeah, it's good, but way too easy.
