Xboxliveaddicts’ reviewers look back on some of the best Xbox 360 and Xbox Live Arcade games of the decade with scores of 9 or above in this feature.
There is a whole lot to say about Fable 2, but frankly, I'd rather play it, and advise you to do the same. Whatever small flaws it may have, it remains an absolutely great RPG with many unique features; a kind of game that doesn't come around very often.
"Fable was one of the most hyped games of the original Xbox, and for good reason; what Molyneux promised gamers was nothing short of extraordinary. A complicated good vs. evil dynamic based on the players actions, the ability to shape the world and your appearance, again based on the players actions, and the ability to choose your own destiny would have made for one of the most original action RPGs of all time, had it ever been released. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I am pleased ..."
ActionTrip releases a review on Fable 2, the newest game out the in Fable series! Reception of the game was positive, saying that everything had been hit up a notch and that you'll get the same feeling of fun that you got when you opened up The Lost Chapters. While there were several cons, the pros tossed it into their excellent category at 9/10.
Thanks for the review, guys!
"Lionhead Studios second attempt at the Fable franchise has finally been released. Fable 2 takes place 500 years after the events of Fable 1, and throws you into the shoes of a new character who also must save the world, this time with your trusty side-kick dog by your side.
So, the big question is, does Fable 2 live up to its hype?
Fable 2s story begins when your character is just a child who is homeless and being looked after by his/her older sister (you have a choice of male or fe..."
The Xbox 360 exclusive has been getting alot of reviews from proffesionals, but what does the average gamer say about it? He praises the gameplay but critisizes the plot. Overall though he says that if you enjoyed Fable 1, its a no brainer, and if you like rpgs in general, you should pick it up.
Final Score: 8.5/10
"Lionshead Studios Fable II, the controversial game release du jour, has been the subject of a years-long smoke and mirrors campaign. Not a calculated one, mind you. Miscalculated serves as a better description. Series creator Peter Molyneux just cant seem to shut up about the game, about his hopes and dreams for it and for how we gamers ought to enjoy it. While hes certainly entitled to his opinions, we feel that all this talk has obscured the truth of what Fable II (not to mention i..."
"Fable II's Albion is a very different place from that experienced in the original title. Set a few hundred years later, human populations have exploded, technology has evolved, and true heroes have become rather rare. The world is rife with banditry, the misuse of black powder weapons is widespread, and the ancient mystical arts of magic (Will) is quite unusual indeed. In other words, Albion is ripe for a hero or villain of great renown to mold it to their ideals or whims, whatever the case m..."
It seems that Fable II is being very well received, which can mean nothing but good things considering the steep competition.
9.5/10
[Fable II forum]
The reviews for Fable II are starting to surface today, so thought I would share this one. It sounds as if the game is awesome, but some pop in and draw distance issues, along with a weird map system makes it less than perfect. Enjoy!
"Fable II is "the best, most complete game I've ever worked on," says mastermind Peter Molyneux, just as the RPG sequel is said to have now gone gold at Lionhead's Guildford HQ.
Speaking in an interview with CVG's paper cousin, Xbox World 360, Molyneux says he hasn't made "the same mistakes I made in the past," with the second Fable.
"Black & White, The Movies, Dungeon Keeper, pretty much every game I've ever done has had interesting features thrown in to the pot without worrying what th..."
This is a review of Xbox Live Arcade's recent Fable II Pub Games. It discusses the obvious pitfalls of rushing a game to market that should have been more deeply playtested and double checked.
There even exists exploits that allow players to gain more gold through a basic simple gaming flaw, allowing the player to gain more "gold" than they normally would.
