Editorial Review: 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 Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - perfectionthis 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 ... Read More: Rating: - Over rated? Yeah right!Has to be my favourite game of all time. People say the quests are repetitive. Have they played other games? All games are the same missions over and over. The game allows you to play how you like. You can pick whether to be good or bad. This isn't meant to be a fully serious games (With people calling your A*seface when you pick that name) The games story is full of twists and turns. Some you can se a mile off some you cant. I have this on PC so maybe it is different for me but its full of free playing . Choose what armour to wear, choose your weapon, choose your hair style, choose what powers to wield and whether to cause mayhem in a small village or do good for the sake of mankind. I for one am cerainly looking forward ... Read More: Rating:  - Truth or Fable?I began playing Fable as bright and expectant as the young protagonist, who ventures out one early morning in search of a birthday gift for his sister. As the game progressed I like the main character became slightly more sceptical. The graphics are endearing enough. But the story line is slightly dull, with as much depth as a morning chat show. It's surprising that this game is rated as 16, admittedly it does have some adult content, but nothing too imposing, as the game would really lend itself to a younger audience. The game is quintessentially British, which is a pleasant change, its humorous and the dialogue engaging, regional accents and idiosyncrasies. The Game is over relatively quickly, with no World save during ... Read More: Rating: - Only one fault - way too short!I loved this game but i have dropped a star because i felt it was too short! After playing something like KOTOR where you spend weeks playing the game it seemed Fable was sadly over much too soon. But apart from that it was great! great story, great characters and lots of comedy moments. What other game could you actually marry a man when you are a man yourself!. Like KOTOR you have decisions to make but also the added bonus of being able to choose your own haircut and facial hair!. It all adds to personalising the game and gives added gameplay. I would highly recommend this game to all adventures lovers - but for those hard core gamers you may find you whizz through it a bit too quickly. However not long till Fable 2 is out ... Read More: Rating: - Simple but fun RPGWhen I first heard of this game, the way people talked about it made this game sound like it was potentially the best game in the world. Although it is unlikely to beat Final Fantasy it is a fun RPG with an interesting story. One of the main features of the game is the ability to choose whether to be good or evil. Although this is very fun, and watching your appearance change and how people fear/praise you, it always feels like it's one extreme or another, trying to be neutral is incredibly diffficult. The battle system at first glance seems like a basic button-bashing-and-blocking-when-they're-about-to-hit-you but there is more to it. Try button bashing your way out of a cave full of Hobbes, not very easy. The levelling up system ... Read More: |
