This review is from: Fable: The Lost Chapters (Video Game)

If you haven't yet played this game, well, you don't know what you are missing...
FABLE-THE LOST CHAPTERS is a game so full of great ideas that later games could not stop imitating (and isn't imitation the best form of compliment?). After being an X-BOX title for too long, it eventually got released for PCs.

The game is a Third-Person cRPG starting with your character as a little boy made witness to his village burning and his family getting murdered. The orphan then gets schooled in a military academy (one of the most subtle and best designed tutorials EVER!) and graduates to face his first quest. From then on, this beautiful non-linear and multileveled game never lets you without a fresh surprise!

Sure, there is hacking and slashing and sharpshooting to our hearts content; however, this cRPG's ambitions do not expire there. Your character will grow, acquire scars and marks, get haircuts and tattoos - whereas his body shape and height will depend on his habits, training and alignment. You can buy a house, impress the ladies and even get married. There are also a number of mini-games within FABLE, from gambling to fishing and prize-duels.

The graphics are beautiful (a bit dated today yet still much better than most systems can handle). Facial expressions and body movements are fluid and natural, whereas, grass, flowers and tree branches move to the wind and in your path. There is a weather system and night-and-day alterations. In FABLE you will see the best sunrise and the most rich sunset sky colors EVER! When a scenery moves you enough you can even take a...in game picture that can be viewed later (they are saved in a special folder in MY DOCUMENTS). I am telling you, Peter Molyneux left nothing to chance! Whatever could be turned on its head, well, it was...

The gameplay is plain brilliant! The controls are intuitive and the lower-edge-of-the-screen shortcuts could not be more user-friendly. Looting is usual and merchants are abundant. Weapons and armor are well designed (nothing like the childish ones in...NWN) and special unique sets (rarely) available.

I have completed this game at least three times (the last one was this summer) - and I have enjoyed all of them immensely! Now that the price has dropped, it's even a bargain!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

This is a fantastic action/RPG game! Your choices shape your life as you progress through the linear and non-linear story lines. Choose your fighting style, sword, bow, magic, or a mix of all three! This game has a great deal of replay-ability as well. And the extra content that doesn't come with the original game is well worth it!

This review is from: Fable: The Lost Chapters (Video Game)

I've played all three installments for the Fable series on consoles and just recently purchased the first Fable again with The Lost Chapters for the PC. I'm not a power gamer looking at each game thru measurement of the 'bosses', quality of loot, and opportunity to 'beat the system' - and so Fable was a great game for me. I enjoy the graphics of this fantastical world and the background music very much. The system was simple enough that it didn't get in my way much as I explored and performed the many quests for my fellow countrymen..I mean, persons. I flavored the game with my choices. Only against two big bosses did I feel that I had to go out and gather all the healing I could because the writers thought that to make it a good game I had to 'fear' the big encounters and made them encounters of attrition rather than strategy or cleverness...ahem. That frustration aside, I spent MANY hours in relaxed pleasure enjoying Fable and found the Lost Chapters to be a delightful expansion.
