Fable 2 Review

Fable 2 was one of the most anticipated games of the year after the first ones success. The game puts yourself in the Heroes shoes as either a man or woman and with tons of suits and accessories to choose from so the heroes description is yours to decide, but you do start of as a poor boy/girl with your older sister to look after you. Soon after a mysterious woman has told you to buy a music box which can grant a single wish. You and your sister seek the gold out and buy the music box. You make a wish to live in a castle but, nothing happens and the box disappears into thin air. As your sleeping the guard asks you to see the count in the castle. With excitement you and your sister think that the wish has came true, but you are deceived, your sister is killed and you almost die as well but the mysterious woman saves you and its where your journey begins. If you ever played the first one you know the main objective in the game is to give you plenty of moral decisions which effect how you look, how others see you in the world and ultimately effect the world of Albion in the long run. The graphics are very well done and its great to stare off in the distance or just watch the world for a few seconds, and its what I look for in graphics. Controls are pretty simple and the combat does vary a bit with melee, ranged and magic attacks at your disposal. The camera is very simple to use as well. The unique draw to this game is a complete world for you to explore customize, buy, and ultimately save or destroy. Still not all things are good about this game the co-op is awful, I was looking forward to this feature but it was a disappointment all round. Also once you seemed to beat the game and buy everything possible there seems to be no point which can get boring fast. You do have the option of buying the DLC, but its more money from your pocket for a game that was sort of a let down in the first place. Ultimately with Great graphics, story, player customization, and the unique draw, but with a terrible co-op feature, and with a lack of "fun" after you beat the game. I give it 3 out of 5.
