I got Fable today, the day it came out, and have already played through a good little portion of the storyline. This game is totally not what i was expecting. i was expecting a game like i decribed in the September games list before this post, and what i got was a game that was a whole lot bigger, more diverse, and just flat out better than i thought. You start off looking for a present for your sister, so you have to go around town doing good (or evil) deeds to get money. As the story continues, you find yourself at a place called the Heroes Guild. This is where you basically do your training, and, once you are an adult, come back to get missions, or quests as their known in this game. You get your Guild Seal and can teleport to any town youve been before. This comes in real handy, as all of the towns are very spread out, and you probably dont want to go through the woods fighting monsters and bandits all over again. The story has its own way of progressing which is good because you don't always have to leave what your doing to get the next quest. To sum it all up, the battle system is a bit weird, when you lock onto somebody you fight and kill them, then when theyre dead, it takes awhile for it to switch to your next victim which can become annoying. overall this game is great and i shall enjoy finishing it. this game recieves a well deserved 9.6.
