A fairytale come to life.
Fable 2 features the best graphics I've ever seen, however that statement requires clarification. The technical side of the graphics are not what makes them so great, its all because of the artistic hand the crafted the game world. A lighting and particle system that puts virtually all other games to shame helps a lot as well. Graphics aren't something that concern many rpg players, but these are so beautiful it only serves to immerse you more.
Controls: 8/10
The controls are incredibly simple, yet allows for a large amount of strategy when it comes to fighting. The B button controls magic, X is melee and Y is ranged attack. The system works very, very well. The camera is pretty darn good but could be better.
Story: 10/10
Expect simplicity, but expect dedication to our shared cultural fairytale past, as well as LOADS of humor. I find myself spending lots of time just listening to the conversations of the townsfolk, which is all brilliantly recorded. Your dog companion provides an emotional tie to the story that grabs your heart and makes sure you care about the world.
Sound: 10/10
Not much to say here. Probably one of the best video game soundtracks of all time.
Essentially, Fable II is one of the best RPGs of all time. It's incredibly polished in every area and with the number of choices that lie in each game, you could probably play through the game 3 times without feeling repetitive.
