Weekly Game Review: Fable 2

[Relaxing Dragon]

I really enjoyed this one, being a big fan of the first one as well. Sure, this one is basically the same as the first one but with many more options, but I like that. Especially since this time you can actually buy everything, if you so desired (well, not everything. For some reason I can't buy the run-down shacks in the middle of nowhere).

Still has it's fair share of problems though. I am stunned that they got rid of the lock-on and map system of the first game, since those worked pretty well (definitely better than here). The big lack of clothing options this time around is also a little irritating. Finally, the game is still ridiculously short (15 hours is not epic in the least). And yeah, I agree, there's not really any big connection to the characters (no matter what they say; though I must admit, I loved the third hero).

I'd say it's more a rental title than anything. Having it for a week should give you plenty of time to beat the game and get everything you want out of it.

I think that's more thanks to Stephen Fry than any of the actual writing.
