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!

The freedom to roam the countryside is greater than in the original, although don't rush into this expecting to march anywhere you like Oblivion style. Most of the areas offer a few alternative routes to your destination, which may lead to unexpected encounters and exciting side-quests. Exploring is something we advise you to do often in Fable II, 'cause you never know what you can stumble upon. In addition, to exploring, enjoying unprotected sex, having a family, fighting, buying houses, starting your own business, this game allows you to take on a variety of jobs. This denotes a few cleverly designed and extremely fun mini-games, colorfully portraying professions such the woodcutter, waiter, blacksmith and so on. WoW players, who are no strangers to grinding, are bound to devote their attention to hours of forging blades or chopping wood. Why? Well, mostly because it's a good way to earn gold.

Every abovementioned aspect of gameplay marks a significant improvement over the previous game. Even so, it wasn't an altogether flawless experience. Fable II did treat us to some unpleasant and flimsy AI behavior. Enemies sometimes attack one by one, failing to use the clear advantage of numbers. Also, technical problems weren't ironed out on time, leading to a few quirks in the game's physics. Places where your character should be able to walk normally are still blocked my invisible walls (though considerably less that in the first game). Mind you, this wasn't such a big issue and odds are most of you won't even notice it.
