Why Gamespot !! its much better than the review you gave and the critics + community think so to ??
Pro's
Nice moves
Good graphics
Funny
Good being king :) (and evil)
Good story ( was a little disapointed by the ending though).
Good wepon adaptations
Very fun :D
Cons
Sometimes laggy
Sometimes buggy
( just like when holding hands in game they might not move or something , i have come across nothing that cant be solved by doing it again and its not much fuss).
wasnt realy satisfied at ending , went a bit quick after you became king.
I have to say i love the sancuary ( the 3d interface for cloithes armour saving and maps ect. its very good but when it comes to buying wepons and food, potions ect i think i prefer the 2d menu from fable 2 better it just works better and leavs alot move space, and makes everything in one place and easy to access
And the customizable weapons is realy good, ( i di get annoyed at it producing a hilt that i didnt realy like though, an option for changing / starting again would be nice)
and the property system was quite arkward to use because you had to repiar all the houses you had bought/owned and when you get alot you just cant be botherd it takes a long time so the fable 2 system of just buying it i think worked better).....
Overall though i think its a very good game and well worth it just a few niggles that i had but overall a very good postaive experience and im looking forward to the next :)
