"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!

Big fan of RPG's, just get the feeling this is more of a gimmic thatn anything else.

It is on my list of games to get, but not immediately. It isn't a long game, 10-12 hours at most seemingly. Do you like RPGs much? Black & White style? Because that is to a degree, what Fable is like. It has received a lot of good review, because it is really good. Knowing your penchant for spending vast amounts of money, I'd say get it, beat it over the weekend and then trade in/return it soon after. This isn't a Morrowind type game where you need to spend 4 straight months playing it just to get to the good bits.

in a word yes. great game started off easy and progressed well, im 7 hours in and its been real fun but i only really got it as a halo 2 gap filler so what do i know!
