Hype does not mean its good!
Fable 2 is an extremely buggy and repetitive. The fact that this game is incredibly easy doesn't help either. The only good part about it being easy is a quick 1000 GS or close too. There is no point in buying potions to recover health, because when you "die" you get knocked out and go into a "dramatic" scene for about 5 seconds, then get back up losing any XP you didn't grab from enemies before getting knocked out. Another thing making this easy is some of the glitches to get infinite XP/Money.
Ok, Fable 2 isn't as bad as it sounds, well actually it is. This game is fun for about 2-4 hours, then I only continued playing only for achievements. This game is disappointing and a rental at most.
