Fable doesnt live up to the hype, but its still an excellent game.
User Rating: 8.5 | Fable XBOX
To start, Im going to explaing why this game does not deserve an AAA score and how Gamespot's review is just right. The very first thing you will notice about this game is that it is way too easy. Bigtime. I honestly can say I completed this game without dying once. With abundant potions and revival phials its VERY hard to die. It is possible to fail a quest because you dont complete the objectives, but other than that, death is extremely rare for an experience RPG fan. Secondly this game is very short, one of the shortest of its genre, however, during the 10 or so hours you play this game you will be very entertained. It is very entertaining the first time through, but I must say that my least favorite part of this game is the replay value. Once I completed Fable I started a new game and lost interest after about an hour. I dont really know why, but, I do know that I had no interest in completing the game again. Dont get me wrong, Fable is great. The freedom this game provides you is very cool, and gives it a unique feel among console action RPG's. The main decision you make is to be good or evil as you know, but there are many other, smaller decisions that you make. There are even 4 different endings, or so I here. :) Anyways, if you want more details, check out Gamespots review, they nailed it.
