I liken this situation to the contrast between Batman: Vengeance (which was great) to Rise of Sin Tzu (total flop). Overall, good graphics, decent gameplay--through the non critical eye of a player new to the series, I think they would enjoy it. I won't go into detail about the storyline and such since it's well-covered by other reviewers. Like the difference between the two Batman games , Lionhead didn't give us what we were salivating for these past years when we picked up wind of this sequel coming out. But most of us have played the original and we are disappointed in this product that appears to have been thrown together and tossed to us like dog food. I will say that having played the original Fable, I enjoyed some of the changes Lionhead made but disappointed in many others. Many fellow customers note the lack of depth in the storyline, and characters, especially the villains.
I truly enjoyed the first game and was looking forward to this one so much I bought the Limited Edition for it despite the warnings otherwise.I've never just stopped playing a game and given up because of glitches/bugs. Fable 2 will go right back on the shelf of gams I don't touch anymore. I've been playing this game for over 15 hours at least and was enjoying it for the most part. Minus the occasional freezing of the game or so I thought. But that would not be necessary if they simply put the game out like it should've been minus the sorry and game ending glitches.As it stands I enjoyed what i played of the game but not after the issues I've experienced. So i popped it back in and started "trying" to play again. It loads and the game just freezes and that's all that I can seriously take with Fable 2.
It's cool about putting out a patch and what not. It makes me even more frustrated and upset over the company for releasing a game that wasn't ready to be put out.
At first I thought it was my 360 but all my other games play fine on it. But i've never had issues like I have with this game and after I waited this long to finally get around and play Fable 2.
I liked the things that were added.a dog for your companion and other features. Shoddy gameplay or a weak story perhaps.
I'll find something else worth my time because this one isn't it.Not recommending Fable 2 at all. That is until it happened again a hour or two later.
This time is just loaded and froze.tried one more time and the same deal.
He says it's one of the best gifts he's gotten. My son loves this game.
I enjoy the fighting and especially being able to control the pace. I admit it; I am a non-gamer in a sense; I have a DS but tend to play solitaire and word games. Anyway, it hooked me with lots of gameplay and fun. If I feel like fighting, I go to the Bandit Coast, if I feel like zoning, I go buy some clothes or interact with townspeople. RPG's are usually d--- boring to me, but when my spouse bought this game, I decided to try it. I'm now hooked on it, with two saved characters and probably more to come because of the different choices you can make.
On another character- I've had a spouse that will not die, respond, or move. Some games the NPCs will finish what they need to say- and others they will simply stop in mid-sentence.
Buy the original fable-it is amazing. Although I expect Peter Molyneux to lie through his teeth almost every promise he made turned into a false-hood.
There are so many glitches with this game it is ridiculous. The dog also misses many chests or just sits in your way.The chat scenes and sequences are extremely slow and glitch as well.
Stay away from this unfinished game there are better. So far I've had several key NPC's disappear, making quests imposable to finish and a troll monster become immortal; thus locking that character in the Crucible.
You're faithful little "companion" runs through walls and floats above chests and (every time you dig), turns the dog the color of the ground its standing on.
