Fable 2 is a game where you are able to basically do any thing you want, when ever you want. Fable 2 takes place 500 years after the original Fable game for the original xbox. Fable 2 has so many things to do, you wont be bored for a whole year!
Fable 2 has a great story where you are always wondering what will happen next. If you play this game you will sometimes never guess what will happen. There are some parts where you can guess what will happen in the next few minutes. The story keeps you going and should be finished within 10 hours if you play completely through it non-stop.
Along with the story there are dozens of side-quests, jobs, weapons to buy, and people to have your kids with. This game is just loaded with things to do. You can work as a Blacksmith, go pose for a sculpture to be placed into a town, or go get married and have a kid.
With all these things to do, there are many achievements to earn while you are doing this. Within my first play through, I earned at least 300GS. You can earn achievements for playing with your dog, working at a shop, or finishing certain main story quests. Overall these achievements are very easy to get but some take some time and are challenging.
The sound and graphics in Fable are great! They just look beautiful. The grass, trees, water, clouds, dirt, etc all blend in properly and just make the game look great. The sound all blends in. You can here from the birds way up into the sky to even your own footsteps. They all blend together into what type of environment you are in. If you are in a swamp, the sound of your footsteps change to a slushy sound, while on a dirt road they sound like average footsteps. Sound is just great in this game.
The game play is very good. You can choose from a variety of weapons to finish your enemy with. You can use swords, axes, hammers, guns, bows, and more in this game. Magic on the other hand is a little cheap as you can keep button mashing and the spell will repeat as there is no manna bar. The pub games add to the game play as you can gamble your earnings to earn more or loose lots!
Overall I give this game a 8/10 for its great game play, sound, and graphics. The game can use a little improvement because of occasional glitches and the button mashing spells.
