Review: Fable 2

Hey there!

Today, I'm here to talk and review one of my personal favourite games, a game that I spent countless hours playing over and over for the simple reason of its great factors. A following to the great series created by Peter Molyneux, ladies and gents, Fable 2.

Firstly, the one thing you should notice in this game is the massive up-haul of graphics. Due to the massive success of the previous game, this gave Peter Molyneux a great wealth of gaming opportunities. With this, more developers and more experienced people in this field were able to help produce this game. Another great mention towards this game is the newly erected storyline. Set 500 years after the previous game, you follow the descendant of the last game's protagonist, a lonely young man or woman living on the street with your sister Rose until the visit of Murgo the Trader. After a specific encounter with both Theresa (The sister to the original protagonist 500 years previous) and the lord of Bowerstone, Lucien Fairfax, the journey of the hero begins.

Lastly a brilliant mention to this game is the up-haul of the voice acting. Steven Fry as the notorious pirate Reaver is a brilliant addition to the game, as well as Zoe Wanamaker (As Theresa) Ron Glass (Garth) and Julia Sawalha (Hammer).
Their brilliant work, along with Oliver Cotton as Lucien, was a fantastic and utterly awesome to play with. The emotional depth of the game is second to none of its time.

But here comes the bad points.
Unfortunately, some people have experienced massive amounts of lag or glitches. Spouse's disappear in Farifax Castle, game loading points tend to freeze if the disk is slightly scratched and so on and so forth.

However, with the money glitch, this game can turn out to be a breese. This game is a must buy for lovers of the series or fans of a fantasy world that is huge and very eloping to even the hardcore gamers.

Out of 10, I gave Fable II a 8.5/10
