Fable2 is really fun

Way more things to do than the first, combat is awesome

Loving the game right now, i cant see why it didnt get at least a 9/10

Vandalvideo

Ratchet? Mass Effect? Uncharted? Zelda TP? The Witcher? Spore? MONSTER HUNTER 2

I can easily justify why a lot of those games didn't get an AAA rating. When it comes right down to it, Fable 2 doesn't really have that many design flaws. The only one that you could make a real argument for is the lack of [spoiler] boss fights [/spoiler]

Well the combat get get a litte wonky sometime, I hate how you cant hit enemies on the ground except stomp on the, and sometimes the gold trail gets wonky, other than that AMAZING game, are there any other big cities besides bowerstone?

Zelda Tp is the Best zelda We've had since Majoras Mask.AgentA-Mi6
That is the reason why Zelda TP didn't get an AAA rating. It was more of the same that we've been seeing for decades. The game lacked any kind of voice acting, the overall quality of the sound was horrendous, and..........look I'm not going to reitterate my stance on Zelda TP. I made a long winded, multi-page type up when the game first came out detaling what I didn't likea bout the game. Suffice to say it doesn't deserve an AAA rating.

Fine, I respect you opinion, I do believe it deserved a 9.0 :)

After having played it for like 12 hours or something I can safely confirm that anyone who rates this game below 9.0 is wrong.

Out of those games I mentioned the most blatantly underscored games are Uncharted and Zelda Tp.

8-10 Hours is about right for an action/adventure game and the gameplay was Freaking Epic.

Zelda Tp is the Best zelda We've had since Majoras Mask.

AgentA-Mi6

Uncharted epic? Running around facing waves of stupid soldiers and solving easy puzzles just to get to the easiest final battle ever = Uncharted being the most over rated game this gen...

Yeah, I just remember when Peter hyped Fable to hell and back -- and then the game just ended up being just "alright". So I'm a bit hesitant in getting it, I'll probably just give it a rent though.

I felt the same way after 12 hours of playing. Now that I've played the game for about 40 hours, I tend to agree with the GS review.

Mkavanaugh77

In my opinion I liked the first better, Not that I don't like the second since I've already put so many hours into I just liked the story and such from the first.

Fable 2 didn't have enough cool looking cloths or pretty women, actually it had no good women besides the Whores and lady grey

I wish their was cloths what looked like platemail at least, I think the GS review was right on

Where does it get bad, I'm about 20 hours in, it's fantabulous.

That being said, fable 1 was one of my favorite games last gen despite being like 14 hours

Correct, and refrain from eating pies and meat.

The game doesn't get bad at all. It's just after a while you'll see that the role-playing elements in the game are quite shallow. Top that off with some annoying bugs and a little bit of repetitiveness and you'll see this game is far from perfect, but with that said, it's still loads of fun and I plan on putting many more hours into it. :)

I absolutely love this game, i'm i've only gotten to the 2nd hero [spoiler] after the spire [/spoiler] , but whats wierd is i'm really finding it hard to be evil in this game, when i got it i fully intended for my first play through to be full corrupt/evil but now i'll probably end up as 55% corrupt/good, although i have sacrificed a few of my more ugly wifes :P.

If i had anything bad to say about the game it would probably be about the loading, it does get quite tedious at times and after playing for about 4 hours last night i started getting some serious graphics pop in issues.

One other thing, the graphic style in this game easily destroys Kameos for beauty and wow moments (dusk sun shining through objects etc.) and i'm delighted that Lionhead didnt go the popular next gen route of colorless "realistic" art.

Yep.... this game could have been a 10. However, I have encountered alot of glitches/bugs, but none so bad as a friend of mine that I play online with all the time. The co-op is garbage, to be honest, too. Fantastic graphics, story (thus far), and settings, the dog was one of the best things I have seen in a long time (I am truly attached to mine, no question)... but the glitches and the bugs are aggravating and uncalled for. I would give it a 9, in its current form.

Really good game, I've been playing it solid for 2 days, and my girlfriend, who is having an utterly different experience than me :D

one thing though, question for anybody thats ... lets say, 5 hours in. not done the 2nd hero quite yet.

I'm stuck, sort of.

You see where the ghost asks you to break the girls heart..... I married her instead, bought her a house and let her settle down, still not returning to the ghost (I forgot)... So I get back home after adventuring, give her a gift and show my trophys around the town then decide to take her to bed.

But...

She wouldnt have sex with me and told me my jacket was disgusting, So obviously I locked the door behind us, slapped her a bit and unleashed an army of undead to finish her of before thrusting a katana into her decimated corpse, then I laughed a little bit.

The top of my screen says ''return to the ghost'' so I'm like S*** th ghost, I forgot about him, so I trudged up the mountain trying to think of an excuse to why I had married , rehomed then murdered his one true love ... When I get there, he just sort of waves his finger at me a birt, thats it... and whwenever Ileave the gold trail tells me to go back, whats up with that?
