It's good in bits, rubbish in others. Looks/sounds/feels great. Social interactions suck - you tap some buttons until someone likes/hates you, and then run away to some new place - there's simply nothing to do of any real importance - sure you can say 'get drunk and listen to people laugh' etc, then 'go kill monsters while drunk' - doesn't make the game any more interesting.
Good, but nothing, nothing to what it was supposed to be - and that's not just in the missing features, it's also in the simple fact it's just not as good as it should be....
Anyone wanna buy? O, and Riddick too, which was also good, but I didn't love it much either.....

Hmm, yes. Because that makes the game better - killing off one of the pleasures of the game, the people in it. I can massacre a whole load of Balverines, and it'll have the exact same effect. Nada. Oh, maybe I'll be 'evil'.....

I was expecting the other way around, even when it was revealed as limited to it's initial promised scope.
HOW can this be your favourite?
It looks and sounds good. Shame about the fact you can't do anything of any interest.

Yeah, I agree with Cyclone.
To be honest, I was expecting it to be balls, but it's my favourite XBox game so far.
I honestly think Fable is balls. OK, some of the accents are a little amusing, but it was seriously a prime example of over-hyping
