Video Game Reviews of Fable II
Customer Review: Extremely Fun......But for me it got tedious
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this game around the time it first came out and have been playing it ever since.But when new RPG's came along I bought a few of them,one of them usurprisingly was Oblivion.Yes I know Fable 2 came out after Oblivion but I bought but I just got more into it.Since in Oblivion you have the ability to communicate with the NPC's it really defeated Fable 2's whole "make 'em like ya or hate ya,make 'em laugh at ya or scream at the sight of ya" just with expressions.And, as a result in the past few weeks I have virtually quit playing the game.Although this is probably due to my reluctance to find out what happens if you help the bandits in the beginning by giving them the warrants,however I have a pretty good idea.This,combined with the many other same choices I've made the same in each file have affected my enjoyment of the game.So I guess it's more or less my fault and not the creator's fault.
All in all,Fable 2 is a great game and I would deffinately reccomend it for any rpg player.So I take back the whole "it gets boring" comment,but I'm not about to remove it.5 outta 5!
Customer Review: Best Final Boss Battle Ever
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes, it has the best final boss battle ever. Those who have finished it will know what I'm saying, but I'm sure none of us would spoil it for those who haven't.
I'm still laughing to myself just thinking about it.
Anyway, it's a big, vivid, and generally fun experience. It may not be as deep or even as difficult as some other RPG games but it more than makes up for this with personality, a huge fully realized world, and superb pacing --- especially if you add the DLC expansions and accept the various side missions as they are offered.
As for the relative lack of difficulty, I must say that I don't really find RPGs to be particularly difficult as long as proper attention is paid to leveling up and obtaining good equipment. --- so this is pretty much in line with the genre.
Overall, I think it's quite excellent or at least a huge step in the right direction from the first Fable --- more personalization options, a bit more depth, better and more interesting treasure, a lot more equipment choices, and smoother character movement, would be the first adjustments that I'd make towards making an even better Fable 3. So, yes, there are certainly some things that could be better but why waste time nitpicking when most other games seem pretty uninspired and pedestrian compared to Fable 2.
So while we're waiting for something perfect, I suggest we enjoy this very accomplished and attractive game.
Customer Review: Great game
Summary: 4 Stars
Starts off slow but there is a lot to the story and you have even more freedom then in Fable one. The only negative is you don't get the shield from one.Customer Review: Gifted to Grandson
Summary: 4 Stars
This was a gift to my grandson, and he and his sister can't stop playing it. They love it. Maybe I should have been giving games instead of books all along. Customer Review: Delightfully Tacky, Yet Unrefined
Summary: 3 Stars
Let me first start off by saying this game is very large and allows you nearly limitless possibilities. That being said, the game is too easy. You can finish the game too quickly and the game begins to lose its appeal too soon. The game's good vs. evil philosophy is relatively intuitive yet can become annoying as well.
Recommendation: For fans of the first Fable this game is a must play. For RPG fans this game is only worth picking up for $20 or less as there are several better ones out there (notably Oblivion: Game of the Year Edition).
