To sum up this game its just a good solid fun game. For the RPGer in me I love this mixed action/RPG genre and the storyline that involved. My one gripe with all of this is its really not that hard. Literally linear, where you follow the golden path to your next goal. Yes theres side quests and omg all sorts of random stuff you can do. I think to finish the achievements has taken me longer then playing the game twice over and they dont really involve the game. The gameplay is set up very well I just would like to see more battles and less running around linearness in this type of game. RPGing is becoming too much like just watching a movie. I think this does set a good foundation fo rthe possibilites of fable III which I hope they use the positives of great gameplay and interaction. There is some semi multiplayer aspect but its quite limited. Overall a decent game that an RPGer would like to do one play through. Should take 10 to 20 hours in all if you dont dally too much.
I recommend this game as a one time play through rental, do not buy it.
