PlanetXbox360 Reviews Fable 2

Fable 2 turns out to be a game that will grant wishes to many gamers who have high expectations from life. If you are one of those people who always wanted to marry as many as different women as you liked and bore children with those multiple women, Fable 2 allows for this to occur. Fable 2 is an ambitious game that goes the extra distance to ensure gamers have an entertaining experience. While several pundits will argue that Fable 1 failed to meet the lofty expectations, Fable 2 not only surpasses them but sets the bar for future action-RPGs.

I have put 20+ hours into the game and it is def. a killer app; just everyone WAIT until you spend at least 5 hours with Fable 2 before deciding whether or not it lives up to all the hype and fills that spot on the Xbox 360 roster as best action-RPG......

And thanks to the LittleBigPlanet screw-up it doesn't have anything to compete with tonight at midnight when it launches!

vhero5705d ago

no 10/10??? this is a very 360 site that gives even the worst 360 titles high ratings because its 360 exclusives its a great game though

Vecta5706d ago

Well I expect it to sell more then the original (which sold 3 million copies).

UltimaEnder5706d ago

If Fable 1 did that good Fable 2 will kill the charts.....

butterfinger5705d ago

a couple weeks ago, and he said that there were already well over 200,000 pre-orders. I suspect that it will crack a million pretty quickly.

ReTarDedFisHy5705d ago (Edited 5705d ago )

Shane Satterfield, Chief Editor of GT - he expects Fable II won't do as good as LionHead hopes, but we'll see :O

The 7 Best Xbox 360 Games - Console Exclusives Win the Day

The Xbox 360 was a fantastic console in its day with some truly classic titles, but what are the seven best games for the console?

DrDoomer183d ago

I'm pretty used to these lists being bad, but this one is particularly s#ite.

raWfodog183d ago

I think Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon should have been added to the list.

BrainSyphoned183d ago

I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*

Husker42c183d ago

I really loved Shadow Complex.

P_Bomb183d ago

Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.

ChasterMies183d ago (Edited 183d ago )

Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.

Abnor_Mal183d ago (Edited 183d ago )

Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.

The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.

darthv72183d ago

360 had Namco hitters AC6 and RR6... both quality titles. You should at least bust out the 360 for AC6 if you can score the flight stick. Its great.

Hofstaderman183d ago

When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....

Profchaos182d ago (Edited 182d ago )

It's a nostalgia peice same reason we get thousands of YouTube videos on sega genisis. Something people have fond memories for but the era is long gone.

It's xboxs golden year imo it was their genisis years the time where they stuck it to the market leaders Sony.

BehindTheRows182d ago

They stuck nothing. Sony screwed themselves giving Xbox an opening. They would have gotten the usual smack down if the PS3 had launched at $399 and was easier to develop for.

Fable II - A Fantasy Series at Peak Performance

Fable II launched back in 2008 and remains the best the series has offered. Ahead of the series comeback, it's time to look at the classic.

Crows90347d ago

They gotta bring back those gargoyles!

Dudeson347d ago

I'd love to play it again, this time on pc though. Forever waiting on that pc port.

GaboonViper347d ago

Loved this game, oh and i always saved my dog at the end, hope the new Fable has a animal companion.

got_dam347d ago

Fable 2 was the best inthe series. Peter waaaaaaay over promised with fable 1 and it was good but disappointing. He didn't go crazy eith hype for the second game and it was surprisingly awesome. Then he ran his mouth promoting 3 and it was the worst of the 3.

cthulhucultist346d ago

Funny story: Fable 3 had a funny way of keeping the promises you made in the first half of the game and having enough money to defeat the darkness.

You only had to collect enough money to buy 2 stores in a busy market district. You then raise the prices to maximum and you turn xbox 360 internal clock 99 or more years ahead.

The next time you load the game, all the rents from the 99 years are collected immediately.

But yes I agree that 3 was the weakest of the three.

Demetrius346d ago

I only got to play it once 😩 I'm so tempted to buy a Xbox 360 slim but planning on getting the series x soon since I got a PS5 in February Im ready to get saints row 1&2 back, GTA 4, fable 2, but I also want to play infamous 1&2 again Sony screwed us over with the stream only for saints row 2 and other gems smh

Dragon Quest 11 isn't even the best Dragon Quest game, it's a good game, but not the best. Dragon Quest 8 is superior to it in almost every way.

thorstein922d ago

...and 1 and 2 and 3 and 4....

I am biased.

Hofstaderman922d ago (Edited 922d ago )

OK let's end this, in order
Xenogears
Final Fantasy 8
Final Fantasy 7
Final Fantasy 9
Final Fantasy 6
Chrono Trigger
Legend of Dragoon
Breath of Fire 4
Breath of Fire 3
Dragon Quest 8
Dragon Quest 11
Vagrant Story
Saga Frontier 2
Chrono Cross
Suikoden 2
Suikoden
Threads of Fate
Final Fantasy X
Final Fantasy XII
Lunar 2

Jiub922d ago

Sometimes I forget how much of a powerhouse the PS1 was

MadLad922d ago

I don't play too many jrpgs, and I'm trying to diversify a bit.

Outside of FF and Dragon Quest, what two games from that list do you most recommend someone trying? Doesn't matter if it's a sequel to another game or not.

Jiub922d ago

IMO: Chrono Trigger and Suikoden II

thorstein922d ago

Octopath Traveler is really good.

BlaqMagiq1922d ago

You have Threads of Fate on there which means you get my ultimate respect. Underrated and overlooked.

Exvalos922d ago

Man your dang near spot on absolute spot on choices

Epicor921d ago

I like your top 6 a lot. I don't have the same orders but all those games would make my top 10 RPG list most likely. Number 1 for me is FFIX. It holds a special place in my heart and imo it's the perfect Final Fantasy game.

In addition I would give special mention to some western RPG's as well: Skyrim and Mass Effect 2 were iconic games. Out of JRPG's I'd like to add Disgaea 2 on that list.

MadLad922d ago (Edited 922d ago )

Some of my personal favorites are Planescape: Torment, New Vegas, Morrowind, Kotor 2, Wasteland 3, Witcher 2, Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, Deus Ex, Disco Elysium and Vampyr.

As far as jrpg, while I'm not as big a fan as I am for Western RPGs, I love Persona 3 - 5, Dragon Quest 8 and 11, Rogue Galaxy, Final Fantast 6,7, and 12; and Lost Odyssey.

LoveSpuds922d ago (Edited 922d ago )

Some quality taste in games there squire.

I'd add some Baldurs Gate 2 and Neverwinter Nights from back in the day too.

MadLad922d ago

Should have added BG2. Played through it many times over the years.

Never could get into Neverwinter Nights though. Not sure why.

Omegasyde922d ago

Loved rouge galaxy. Fav game from Level 5.

ManMarmalade922d ago

Legend of Dragoon #1 game of all time for me
