"Okay, now the initial orgasm has worn off..."

Is Fable really worth getting taking into consideration the next few months?

I have the DS on pre-order, Halo 2 and Prince of Persia 2 on pre-order, my US PS'TWO' arriving this week with KillZone, GTA San Andreas and Xenosaga 2 on pre-order as well as Metal Gear 3 and Gran Turismo 4.

I don't want any 'ums' or 'ahhs', I just want a straight forward, honest, quick and dirty paragraph to sum up the game, both pros and cons and whether or not you actually think it is worth getting.

Cheers!

Maybe I'll play through it with just a stick as my melee weapon at some point. :-) Might buy the title of A**eface for him too. Gotta do a cool evil game first though. ;-)

Fair enough.

It's a damn good game.

Toughened up my Mage a bit. But because I haven't upgraded his strength battles can take a while, however I've now discovered the Force Push and Slow Time spells which, with my fireballs and swordplay, are enough to defeat things in a satisfying way,and the battles have improved because they're now a challenge and I have to use my skills constantly to maintain the upperhand. :)

It's my opinion though.

It's the best offline experience I've had since OOT and Banjo Tooie. As good as some the games of this generation have been, nothing has got me this involved or excited about playing, unlike Fable.

A little bit to soon to be asking that. but i would say yes it is.

and I'd much rather have it than POP 2 or the next GTA.

Don't make me laugh.

There are xbox games with a lot more depth and replayability than this title, good as it is.

I have been reading previews, listening to gossip, and generally being in the know about fable for the past 2 years, and i can quite honestly say that even though it isn't what it originally set out to be, it's an amazing game. I have played it solidly for the past 2 days, have still not finished the story, find every aspect of the gameplay enjoyable, and am generally bessoted with it. My real life is but a shdow of my game life :-)

It's a cross between Zelda and Star Wars KOTOR - which means it's good (if you like that kind of thing).

I think Fable is excellent, one of my favourite games. But I don't dare give it the title of best console game of this generation with Halo 2 a month away. ;-)

I don't play PC games and have no intrest in playing them.

I guess it's all down to what floats your boat.

Oh and I never really looked too much into the previews of the game so I haven't been let down with all the things that Molyneux left out.
