Summary
Game Description
Fable II, developed by Lionhead Studios, is the sequel to Fable and Fable: The Lost Chapters for the Xbox. FII on the Xbox 360 takes place in Albion, 500 years after Fable's setting, in a colonial era resembling the time of highwaymen or the Enlightenment; guns are still primitive, and large castles and cities have developed in the place of towns. Unlike the original, the player may choose to be either male or female. Fable II is also available in a Limited Edition that includes a bonus DVD with a Making-of feature, additional weapons and armor, and more for $69.99.

Fable 2 Fun but short
I love the game. My main problems with it was that it was to short and the final "boss" battle was very anti-climatic. Another thing that kinda sorta irritated me was how um...BUTCH the females get when you update physique... they look like buff dudes with boobs. I think there should have been more side quests. I LOVED the fact i couldn't "die" in the game though and hope they carry that on to fable 3. There were a few bug here and there. A.I. of heros could be kinda bad at times or they'd freeze, sometimes you person would kinda freeze too. Overall though it was a great game. I like how they expanded on some features and creatures from the first fable and such. Here's hoping there will be WORLD travel in fable 3!

not so greatness
Over all I liked the game and still recommend it to any rpg fan...but
It still isn't what many hyped it up to be.To me its just what fable 1 should have been.The visuals aren't were even close were they should be coming from microsoft.You'd figure they'd be able to get the most out of there own hardware.Controls haven't changed any.But there are plenty of new things to do along the way of being the hero.Maybe I've come to expect to much after one to many final fantasy games but the shortness of the game even with doing the massive amount of side quests just doen't do it for me. The only thing that saves it is the replayability from your actions haveing a effect on the world.
but since i dont think anything will be changed short of the next fable just not selling (which wont happen ) may be i can hope another company will take the innovative ideas from fable and build an epic rpg around it .

Incredibly addicting
This is by far the most insanely addicting game I've ever played. The only thing that came at all close was Mass Effect. I really like the dog element of the game, although I think I made a bad choice at the end of the game. Not gonna spoil anything though.
