"So.....Fable...."

Borrowed this off a mate.

All I can say so far is, 'it's alright'.

The first bit of the game is so monotonous it's irritating, and there is tonnes of dialogue aswell which seem to break up the gameplay considerably. The training sections are crap aswell.

I'm only just marginally beginning to enjoy it after being allowed to do what I want, the combat is pretty cool, but it just seems so easy; you can swipe bug in one go, and characters respawn everytime you leave an area of a map.

I don't see it as an RPG either, it seems more of an adventure (Zelda style).

Hmph. I might play it some more later, but the beginning part was just awful in my opinion. Crap accents on the actors aswell.

I can see this turning out into a 'wind waker' style game...

It was amazing on the first time through, second time through though I've started to realise the bad bits so I've stopped playing it and will most likely sell it at some point.

It's an excellent game as long as you can ignore its faults.

To be honest I just enjoy building up all of my powers.

It's simply not very good.

I can't help but think it's linear as well - you follow paths, you can't jump bridges and there is loads of invisible walls.

I'm playing it through for the second time. Going to try some things differently this time.

Polished but souless sums it up.

the fighting system is a little naff. Also the save game system is the biggest crime. A bit short as well.


Apart from that the games good but not exceptional.

It's genius, it really is.

No, the whole game is crap.

It's good looking.

But also shallow, crap, short, crap, limited, crap, and nowhere near what it was supposed to be.

This is why I hate the start of games.

Or when developers put the crappy "training sequences in" so you spend ages 'training' and listening to loads of mundane dialogue, when you'd rather be out there actually playing the game.
