Fable 2 is an excellent RPG/Fantasy game that all fans of the genre and players in general should own.

I bought Fable 2 for just a mere £3 thinking that it won't hurt if the game wasn't good. However, I was in for a shocking eye opener of a surprise. The game began with an intro. As usual I though 'Ah, top cinematics equals poor game' The game began but before it did I had to select my character Male or Female. I felt the character creation at this point was lacking indeed and as soon as the game began I felt 'Oh no, not another Harry Potter game' because I was controlling my character with my sister called Rose in the game. I was very worried at this point. However, once the 'training mission' was over then thats when the game truly came alive. I was instantly hit with a deep and compelling storyline involving the evil Lord Lucien but I will not give any thing away.

The graphical detail was very well detailed, very realistic and was real eye candy. Okay, maybe the characters could have had a bit more detail like spots, blemishes, wrinkles etc but they were still drawn to impress.

I was blown totally away by the games sound effects and voices though because they were so lifelike at times the game sucked me in that much that I forgot I was playing on my Xbox 360 in my bedroom and was teleported to the wonderful world of Abion. SFX is different every time and are not repeated over and over again. If I had to moan again about fable 2 it as got to be the games loading screens - yes they are so slow and at times the map can be difficult to use at times. However, the inventory is easy to use and is basic. The leveling up is like that of Devil may cry 4 and leveling spells, attacks, and everything else is too on the basic side.

On the the fighting. I had two weapons but you can buy more weapons. The AI of the enemies start out very easy but as the game progresses they get more skillfull and tougher to kill. So don't expect to complete this game in a day or too because there's lots to do. The main quest is huge and there are tons of little side quests that throw you off. One of the first things that you need to think about is money so rising it early on is a must if you are going to have a chance of progressing with better items or weapons.

Finally, I loved how the game gave me three options after playing hours on it. You can save game at any time while stilling playing, or save and quit and if you don't wan't to save at all because you messed up at one point you can just quit it. To sum this game up. A must buy!
