Video Game Reviews of Fable 2 Limited Edition
Customer Review: are u serious, bugs?!
Summary: 2 Stars
I've been playing this game for over 15 hours at least and was enjoying it for the most part. I liked the things that were added...a dog for your companion and other features. Minus the occasional freezing of the game or so I thought. That is until it happened again a hour or two later. At first I thought it was my 360 but all my other games play fine on it. So i popped it back in and started "trying" to play again. This time is just loaded and froze...tried one more time and the same deal. It loads and the game just freezes and that's all that I can seriously take with Fable 2. 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. Shoddy gameplay or a weak story perhaps. 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. It makes me even more frustrated and upset over the company for releasing a game that wasn't ready to be put out. It's cool about putting out a patch and what not. 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. Fable 2 will go right back on the shelf of gams I don't touch anymore. I'll find something else worth my time because this one isn't it.
Not recommending Fable 2 at all.

My son loves this game. He says it's one of the best gifts he's gotten.Customer Review: from a non-gamer
Summary: 5 Stars
I admit it; I am a non-gamer in a sense; I have a DS but tend to play solitaire and word games. 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. I enjoy the fighting and especially being able to control the pace. 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. Anyway, it hooked me with lots of gameplay and fun.Customer Review: terrible coding
Summary: 1 Stars
There are so many glitches with this game it is ridiculous. 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. On another character- I've had a spouse that will not die, respond, or move. 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. The dog also misses many chests or just sits in your way.
The chat scenes and sequences are extremely slow and glitch as well. Some games the NPCs will finish what they need to say- and others they will simply stop in mid-sentence.
Although I expect Peter Molyneux to lie through his teeth almost every promise he made turned into a false-hood.
Buy the original fable-it is amazing. Stay away from this unfinished game there are better.

Summary: 4 Stars
Fable 2 Limited Edition was definitely worth the extra ten dollars that it cost to pick it up. The Limited Edition content helped to expand the beginning of the game, as opposed to just being a few trinkets. It was also worth a laugh that the Fable 2 creators included many pop culture references in the game, including Halo, Evil Dead, and others. This game had many good points. The graphics were astounding, especially when connected to a High Definition Screen. The game play was great, incredibly interactive, and the open world concept worked out very well, instead of just getting lip service.
Some moderate things that could have been a little better, was a longer central story line, more quests to do while in the Spire, and more quests to do overall. The game is about 60 hours total play time, for all side quests and the main quests. I was hoping for more around 100 hours of game play.
Some things that needed significant improvement were the camera controls, the zoom for rifles, something to spend your experience on after you have obtained all the abilities, and fixing the glitch with targeting people to obeserve how they feel about you.
This game deserves 4*'s overall, because what needs to be fixed isn't significantly bad enough to take away more than a little from the game play. It can just get annoying every so often.
