Fable 2 is a game thats full of life and has more then enough adeventure to keep players at it for months.
The gameplay in fable 2 is very refined and fast paced.There are 3 different ways to build your hero(or villian) Strenght,Skill and Will.Each have there own feel and look.If you go Strength then you will be a melee powerhouse with loads of health. Skill is tuned to players (like myself) who find joy in sniping any potential enemys. And will is of coarse for the player who loves seeing big shiny spells.The one thing that holds the gameplay back from perection is probably the sometimes inconsistent framerate, but other then that this game is really fantastic in the gameplay section.
Graphics 9/10
Colorful and radiant these graphics show off the great art style and for the most part a great technical side as well. Though the framerate as stated before isn't as great and there are some cases of erratic ragdoll, which is funny but not impressive.The world is massive with a lot of things to do and earning gold is easy and fun.
Sound 9/10
Fantastic soundtrack and average voicework and sound effects though there are some genuinely funny moments.
Value 10/10
You could spend hours simply exploreing the world and the fact that there are also plenty of sidequests and a decent though predictable storyline. In the end fable 2 is just such a turnaround from the last fable it puts the new and old ideas to use and comes out looking great.
The good
Massive world,deep character building,no more gold grinds,side quests are all over the place,beutiful art style.
The bad
Some bugs and inconsistent framerate, having to install the game on the HDD just so it won't freeze is a downer.
