8.5

Unplayable POS confirmed

Hopefully that is sarcasm.

it is sarcasm or at least I think it is since all the lemmings were trying to call Little Big Planet a flop

awesome great score for fable 2, so far its AAA on gamerankings anyway. Although it will probably go lower by the time the other reviews come in but nevertheless, 8.5 is awesome enough for me to buy it!

  • Story and characters lack depth
  • Good and evil paths don't seem well-balanced
  • Lousy map.
A lot of these same things could be said about the first one.

But it wans't hyped AAA

hyped AA, im sure it will probably be about an A or B. I enjoy the game though but theyll flop it for the pure server problems, or not review it at all.

It can still flop. A game can be hyped to get a 5 and if it gets a 4.5 or below it would be considered a flop.

You're forgetting the "Anything below 9 is unplayable" metality of SW.

well, there goes the game of the year for FABLE 2. i hope ppl would stop comparing this game to the likes of LBP, MGS4 and soon R2 and GEars 2.

for a game that was hype to be the first AAAAE or a 9.5 game, it fails. 8.5 is not a bad score but with so much hype, you would think it will get a better score. this is a like a flop, flop just like liar, haze, and that other xbox game

Hmm, it seems that the deciding factor for the reviews is whether the reviewer liked the story or not. Gamespot didn't like it.

Oh wow - an 8.5? Eek. Haven't played the game so I can't agree or disagree but compared to GR and Metacritic, that's very far off from the general consensus.

From what I have heard/read the game has such bad connection problems that most people can't even play a full match.

I don't even know why everyone gets so uptight. No one around here even looks at gamespot as lead reviewers anymore. I'm not even buying the game tomorrow. Just relax the game didn't become bad because gamespot reviewed it lower than you were hoping.
