The Fable II world is definitely a unique one, allowing the player to truly feel like a hero, or villain depending on the choices he will make through out the game. Being able to buy the whole world is just one of the many ways to make your character loved or hated by everyone. The only downfall of this game involving your character is the lack of abilities he or she can have in one given trade. After a while you'll find yourself being proficient in everything rather than being god-like in one thing, which sorta kills the whole role playing thing. But it's ok because in combat you'll be able to do some pretty neat combos. The one button combat system works surprisingly well, and it's very easy to use yet still requires some skill to master.

The Fable II story could have used a little more depth, and length but seeing as how many interesting side quests or jobs you'll have available to you, the game will still remain intersting for literally as long as you want. Even with the linear questing, the maps will still be big enough to make exploring them fun and sometimes rewarding.

The music and sound effects in this game are truly its strong point, including the well voiced characters with their British accents. Brilliant realy, and quite unique seeing as how we don't see that often in games. The graphics are also quite nice. Nothing groundbreaking however, but still very nice with it's own unique artwork. The CGI cutscenes are also very impressive, and it's a shame that there's only a few of them in the game.

The game does have it's problems however. Long load times will eventually irritate you, and so will the countless bugs and glitches. Not to mention the co-op part of this game is also semi-broken, but seeing as how this game should be played in single player it shouldn't be counted as a major problem. All in all this game is fun and I strongly recommend it.
