Amazon.co.uk Review
The role-playing game seems to be in real danger of collapsing in upon itself with many new titles appearing almost indistinguishable from each other and increasing complexity making them extremely off-putting for all but existing fans of the genre. Fable, though, is something different. Created with input from famous games designer Peter Molyneux (designer of titles such as Populous and Black & White), it aims to be as accessible as it is open-ended, as the character you control gains experience, ages and chooses whether to follow the path of good or evil--or occupy a grey area between the two. Fable is played entirely in real-time, so there are no random encounters or turn-based battles to endure; your character gains experience in four main areas--general, strength, skill and will--during all their actions from combat to talking to villagers. Specialising in a certain area allows your character to become an archetypal fighter, wizard or jack-of-all-trades. The game's real flexibility though is in the way you interact with other characters in the game, with the option to charm, bribe, intimidate and flatter as appropriate. A character's attitude towards you is further influenced by your notoriety within the game world and even your sex appeal, allowing you to play the game exactly as you want. The only problem with Fable is that the combat is a little unconvincing and awkward, but with so much else going on this hardly seems to matter. --David Jenkins

Classic, engrossing but is it RPG material? January 22, 2010
Rakesh Mistry (UK)
I very much doubt many people will read this review. Its 2010 for gods sake! So the majority of people who do read this review have a vast array of RPG's to choose from since Fable made its debut on the black box. The RPG developers have made massive ground in the way a 'western' RPG plays, so your natural assumption may be that Fable will feel dated. Nostalgic. The truth is that Fable is far better than the majority of western RPG's released since its debut.
Most RPG's headlock you into generic training for about 10-15 minutes before immersing you into the story, which unfolds slowly to prolong the percieved length of the game. The beauty with Fable is that its story is quite simple, holding true to its name. The motive is the evolution of your charecter, the exploration, the conversations, the comedy and combat. This way, Lionhead have managed to ensure that the players remain emotionally attached to a simple story, and can concentrate on the subtle changes this game has brought to the genre.
I truly believe that this game has to be experienced and cannot be dictated in a review, so I wont comment on the game as theres enough about nowadays to do that. If you havnt played Fable, or any other RPG for that matter then this game will be truly refreshing. Comparing it to Knights of the Old republic would be like comparing Fifa to Wii sports. Both are amazing in excecution, but different in there own right. Fables best comparrison can be made to the Zelda franchise, more appropriatley to the Wii version. Engrossing but simple plot, excellent NPC's and conversation content and a combat system that is not only rewarding, but addictive.
Fable is one of those few games that reminds you of a simpler time, where games were designed to be played, not watched. Its made for the gamer who prefers their games to evolve with them, reward them and excite them. Fable isnt a treat to the eyes like most games, but its an experience.

One of the best RPG games ever!! Certainly one of my all time favourites. Highly recommended.

Fable is a good game that is thoroughly absorbing once you start playing. At the beginning it is slightly boring as you have to go through your childhood, and your teenage years before you are set free into the world. Also, the quests get a bit repetitive towards the end. I play it on an Xbox 360, and as a consequence, the graphics are a bit sketchy at some bits, and some of the cut scenes and loading screens get a little jerky sometimes. Other than that, it is a very good and thoroughly enjoyable game.

this game is brilliant it lets you do nearly anything you want inluding choice of whether you a bisexual homosexual or heterosexual you can also be a transvestite if thats what takes your fancy the good and evil meter is brilliant if you kill lots of villagers then people fear you keep up this lifestyle and youll grow horns and lose your hair help villagers however and do good deeds and you willl be good people will fall in love with you on sight if you fill your good meter then you will get a halo and butterflies will futter around you which is kind of gay but it looks beautiful in the game one problem with the game is that the level of character customization could include choosing gender but i suppose that would not fit in with the game there are so many little things to do and find out that completeing the main stioryline is nothing there i so much more including bare knuckle brawling competitions bar games fishing digging for buried treasure there is also lots and lots of weaponry and armour to collect with demon doors requiring you to do things such as get fat ,flirt with the door or shoot it in the face with a powerful arrow and lots more there are about 50 or so demon doors and eachone has a different task for you there are also little things to do around town including pulling a sword out of a stone but you have to have leveled all you strenght attributes up there is wide variety of spells to collect including slow time force push enflame which creates a circle of fire around yopu frying any nearby enemys there are about 18 spells in total all of which can be leveled up to make them more powerfula nd effective you can also get expressions such as growl put your middle finger up fart burp do a hero pose flex your arm muscles flirt and lots more these are unlocked by doing various things be evil and it unlocks unpleasant expression be good and you get expressions to make people fall in love with you thats all from me folks PEACE OUT!
