Fable 2... there was a time when peter would say 'we have a dog!'... and i agree with him the dog is a very cool new feature, i picked him over the population of albion and a big amount of money, which goes to show that its really actually quite a nice addition. Its great fun for anyone, with lovable characters (mainly your dog) and beautiful graphics, seriously they are very nice, with bright colours and grass reacting when you wade through it, it looks very flash although maybe a little cartoony and samey at times (in caverns it can occasionally look samey). The gameplay is good, however it is a bit easy considering you can't die properly, you just revive with a scar and the movement could be better as you seem a little sloppy and slow most of the time. The achievements are great, and they are otherwise i wouldn't mention them. The story is good and of a decent size but the beauty of the game is freedom to do what you like and spend ages building empires and make babies. The downfalls are its meant to be an rpg, and it has about 10 areas with massive loading times between each, the co-op is fun but its generally a rubbish idea to only have two players on one screen with a stupid camera view and it limits your freedom again, why not have two payer but you both have the normal screen and your free to go where you want?... Its a brilliant game and fun for anyone but one or two things bring it down, and the loading times and co-op problems are not small, they are annoying... still worth a buy and it lasted me a good while
