High quality, yet short and predictable.

As an avid Fable fan I was, of course, excited for the release of the new installment in the franchise. Unfortunately, what I found was a short and predictable storyline, less than challenging game play, and unlike its predecessors low replay value. To give you an idea of what I mean by the game being short, from the beginning to end was a total of 16 hours, with the majority of the side missions completed as well. This is saying a lot when I am just a casual gamer.

On the upside, I can say that the graphics and interface have greatly improved. I found the new feature of quickly switching between game play and the armory with a mere press of the start button to be effect in combat and then quickly returning to your same spot within the game. Although this feature became annoying when I simply wanted to only pause the game.

Needless to say, while there were some good aspects, the game as a whole was a disappointment.

With that said if you liked Fable 1 & 2 then give Fable III a run through. However, maybe wait until you can get a deal on it used rather than rushing out for a new copy.
