Ok here it goes. In my eyes, Fable 3 is awful. John Cleese is cool, but the easy difficulty and lack of menus = fail.

Fable 1 is one of my favourite RPG's so I was wondering if number 2 is just as good ? :P

Very similar to 3. The interaction with in game characters is slightly different and using Magic isn't as streamlined. If you hated 3, you will hate 2. I personally loved both. 2 more than 3.

I liked Fable II. I never played Fable III though. But I did hear Fable III is even easier and more casual than Fable II, which I can't imagaine since Fable II is piss easy.

I still like the original Fable best. Although all Fable games seem to have the same problems. They are way too short for an RPG and they are far too easy.

Obviously you'll hate Fable 2 even more.

Fable 2 is so much better than Fable 3. But if you TRULY loathed Fable 3, then you won't like Fable 2 either.

Fable 2 was terrible, one of the worst games I've played this gen to be honest, maybe because I was excited for it but I was so dissapoited.

You must not have played many games this gen. Cause Fable 2 was FAR from terrible.

Whenever I say I'm hungry, someone always says I should go to Africa to experience what true hunger is. So, with that same mindset: you should play Hour of Victory.

I guess I'm one of the few people who enjoyed Fable 3. I thought it was a great game, and dare I say it, better than Fable 2. But yeah, if you didn't like F3, you wouldn't like F2.

Fable 2 was one of my most disappointing games this gen. Fable 3 is hardly any different. At its core it is very much the same

Fable 1 > Fable 3 > Fable 2 Fable 3 at least has a decent setting and (far) more interesting story (than both 1 & 2). Fable 2's story is a complete rehash of Fable 1. Clunky menus etc. Fable TLC remains an all time fav of mine. They need to go back to that formula with the superior setting and presentation of Fable 3.

I am glad people have different views because I think Fable 2 is the best out of the series.

You're going to get a lot of mixed replies on this, seems there was always a good spread of people liking or not liking Fable II.

Personally I enjoyed playing through it, it was very easy and the control scheme was weird but sometimes I like just chilling out with an easy game. I really enjoyed the universe and it's charm.

Fable 2 and 3 are very much alike (they have the same combat system for starters) and the game world in 2 is presented more or less the same way as in 3 (bunch of disjointed areas with loading screens in between them). But since the difficulty and lack of menu's seem to be your biggest gripe, then chances are you will like 2 a bit more (its still extremely easy though but there are menus)

I liked Fable II until I got to the end. It had the kind of ending where it made me think "I played a week nonstop for THIS?!"

Fable 1 is quite possibly my favorite xbox game (i never had the original xbox and only ever played halo 1 and 2 and fable, but STILL!! haha) and I really think Fable 2 and 3 are completely different games. I loved the way you level up in Fable 1 and it seemed like 2 and 3 became progressively worse. I wish they just stuck with the same formula from the first game. I guess Lionheads ideology is "If it isnt broke, go ahead and try to fix it, regardless of how cool, and functional, the original idea was", or at least something along the lines but possibly less wordy. And btw, who else prefers the bows to the guns? I miss them... :(

Couldn't have said it better. An underrated quality in games of this type are the charm and aura given to their worlds and this is one of the best examples of that.

Fable 2 was much better than 3 imo. I didn't like 3 much at all, but had a really good time with 2. Fable 1 is still my favorite.
