Not quite sure why mine is more Official than any other, but there you go.

I reall like the look of this game. I really want to like the actual game, but I'm worried.

I really wanted to like Morrowind, but I didn't have 50+ hours to put into it before I could just about manage to kill a rat. Is the same thing likely to happen here?

I'm much more of a "half an hour here and there" type gamer, rather than a "6 hours straight? That's nothing!" type.

Also, talk amongst yourselves about Fable, it's out 2 months before Halo 2 anyway...


EDIT:

As this thread gets longer it'll be more difficult to find the links I've put in, so I'll add them in here too:

[URL]http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=56279[/URL] for the Eurogamer.net preview - slightly more frank and shows some of the games possible faults...

[URL]http://previews.teamxbox.com/xbox/852/Fable/p1[/URL] for the Team Xbox one.

[URL]http://xbox.ign.com/articles/539/539090p1.html[/URL] for the IGN one.

TeamXbox and Xbox IGN are apparently putting the first reviews up at 10am PST today (Friday 27th), which seems to be 6pm UK time.

Looks excellent in my books.

9.1 is a brilliant score.

Seems an odd game from that review.

Parts of it are incredibly ingenious and original, others are old, tired and repeated game flaws. Bizzarre.

It has lovely looks though. Oh yes.

But it doesn't seem to be quite the game it was hyped to be - I mean, it sounds like it's brilliant, but Fable was supposed to be the best thing ever. I mean ever.

Still, I will probably get it.

Hmm. Sounds like it might be a tad of a dissapointment, but then, I'd expect nothing less from old "Force your Creature to eat wood (isn't that great)" Molyneux.

Missing some of the stuff it had before and a poor story, but looks quality.

9.1 ey?

VERY good, although perhaps not as OMG REVOLUTIONARY!!1 as it 'should' be. Need to read the reveiw.

But sounding very very nice.
