THE BOMB HAS BEEN DROPPED.

8.0 on GameSpot.

By focusing on strong character development and beautiful locales, Fable: The Journey provides an engaging adventure enhanced by satisfying motion controls.

The Good:

  • Strong relationship building
  • Well-realized Kinect controls
  • Smart pacing gives you ample time to rest
  • Beautiful visual design.

The Bad

  • Motion controls don't always register properly.

_____________

Wut.

Goddamn it, guys. Kinect games are supposed to be f*cking awful and reviewed as such. Didn't you get the memo? Admittedly, Destructoid hates it, but... doesn't that mean it's good? I'm confused.

In a more interesting note, the 360 now has more high scoring exclusives in 2012 than the PS3, and no major PS3 games are coming to save the day. It's like 2007 all over again.

What say you, System Warriors?

Either GS is going to follow IGN with their FJ review or they will follow sites like Polygon again.

I think someone did post that earlier, but destructoid and joystick gave it a 3.5, while Giant Bomb gave it a 3 for comparison :P

If it comes out on redbox I'll rent it over a weekend and try it out. I have fun with Kinect controls, should be a fun way to kill a slow saturday morning.

According to MC, Destructoid scored it a 6.0 and Joystiq gave it a 7.0. Heil.

The best part is that this game is within spitting distance of RE6's metascore. I'll wager no one saw that coming.

Yeah. Within spitting distance, especially considering that Fable only has 19 reviews on MetaCritic. It could conceivably go up. But the fact that they're so close.... damn, Capcom. Whatchu doin'?

Game looks dumb and boring, tbh. Needs more controller and killstreak. More importantly, why did IGN ever go back to that dumbass 1/100 point scale?

Well, the Joystiq review is out of 5 stars... So technically it's a 7. But you're right about Destructoid.

Color me surprised. It seems like Lionhead finally made a Fable game with a story worth giving a damn about... and they go and screw it up by making it a Kinect game. Way to derp it up, team.

Yeah, but it's not like it was praised or seen as a high point. It seems like by even the bad reviews that have it at 3.5, etc, that they think the story is nice. That's saying a lot for a series where story has generally been background noise.

Wait a second, didn't they say when this game was first revealed that it wouldn't be on-rails? That the on-rails part was just for demonstration purposes? Then wtf am I looking at now?

I's say the world and the characters were more of an achievement than the story was in the original. Still, it's nice to see them focusing more on plot. Hopefully the next Fable game will do better.

If the next Fable game retains the RPG elements of the first two games, builds on some of the creative concepts from 3 and Journey and adds in a good story we could be looking at a very good game. Let's be real, Fable isn't bad. It's just never met it's full potential and I can't tell if that was because of Molyneaux or not.
