Fable III? More like Fable 1.5

If you haven't played this game yet then please pay attention and this may or may not save you some money and/or time, it all depends on what you expect from LIONHEAD? (creators of Fable series)
If you are like me and loved the first game, you just had to get the second, then after playing Fable II, you will probably feel the same way about playing the third instalment, but be prepared to be disappointed. First of all you are faced with the choice of playing either sex as in F2, once you have chosen you will wake up in bed to the subtle voice of John Cleese. (no not in the way you think) As soon as you take control of the hero you will notice the jitterness of the game graphics in places and the disappointment begins. I did then for me. Don't get me wrong the amount of celebrity voices (well celebs in the U.K. anyway) within the game impressed me and the sense of humour of some of the characters is enjoyable too, though this is not enough to make up for the fact that it seems a bit too easy than F2 had been. Although some of the changes are good, it doesn't feel much more than an improvement than it does from the first Fable and that is what made me think that this game would maybe be considered good if it was Fable I 1/2 (1.5) rather than III. There are other frustrating things in it also, such as, there seems not a lot of choice in which path you follow whether it would be good or evil as most missions on the road to rule remain the same no matter how you choose to play unlike the first two instalments. Maybe the game for that reason deserves to be called Fable Zero or perhaps Fable 0.5? After all, you are guaranteed not to think this the best one of the three!
