Can you say "omg"
Sure, I'm not going against the truth...Much was promised that wasn't delivered in the perspective and the way we would have hoped to receive it.
But only if people forget or look over the fact that it didn't live up to it's hype, I'm sure, no fan of an fantasy/rpg gaming can really dislike Fable 2.
First of all, Fable 2's visualization is the best I've ever seen in any current game, (or very close call).
The sound of characters, environment, enemies, and action is just marvelous. There is nothing wrong with the way this game looks or sounds.
The genre is just put out as a light rpg game, nothing too big and nothing too shallow.. (its no Oblivion, but very few games are, in the sense for being a true rpg)
characters you meet are unique and the humor is great (but im sure you already knew that...if you played fable 1)
See, the only bad thing about fable is the map and the way it is put out. Honestly, at first glimpse, Fable's broadness is overwhelming, with all the extra paths and all...but later you realize, that there is nothing interesting to do in this extra terrain...besides look for weird chests that carry nothing special (occasionally you'll see something cool...but not too often,)and another thing, if you just roam around, and then later quest...you'll find yourself coming back to the same places again...(the game does a decent job of putting something out there only if you chase it through a quest.)
if you just explore, there are just random things like finding statues, gargoyles to kill and just not that interesting (again that is just preference, maybe you like roaming around and looking for these little concepts put in games)
Overall and all, Fable tries to put new and unique things in games, just some work out very well and some fall short which gives people the impression that fable didn't live to up to the expectation it promised...
but all the extra/new stuff that does work can help you forget the concepts that didn't (if you're the forgiving sort of guy)
