New Software To Be Reviewed Review
Fable II, a game of remarkable consistencies!
You can buy it at RegNow for that price.
Great atmosphere. Lots of new features. Easy to use.
Short. Not much to do when finished.
Since the day I swept the path with the final boss in the first part of Fable, I thirsted for more.
I fell in love with Fable at the first impact, but I could not help but to be disappointed that the fun almost ended after the credits rolled and we stood there, Albion's mightiest hero, however, he was unemployed.
Peter Molyneux got me to love Fable 2 a year before it was released, even though I knew it was mostly his own visions. The game started softly with a tutorial where you are introduced to what has happened since we last saw Albion. The Middle Ages was replaced by industrialism, bow against the musketeers and rural against urban. The least dramatic event that arouses my interest for the story, you wake up as a youth, with the world in front of your feet.
There is much that is similar to that of its predecessor:
the same mission design, the silver keys to collect and unfortunately the same lack of things to do after you beat game.
The interesting thing is of course what is new, and there is a lot! Our hero has earned a furry little best friend, a great dog is probably one of the smartest features of Fable, you notice all the time that it's there, without being annoying. Even though it may be a cute backwardness and start running around in circles.
Another new, or rather improved feature is the ability to own things. The precursor could buy and make money on a few houses, but never really tinkling to the checkout. Now you can live in just about every building in the world, ranging from a small camp to the wizard's tower in the middle of the woods.
What really makes me worship fable is the atmosphere of the game, I've never felt such a joy of playing a role-playing game when I play Fable a second time, the surroundings are detailed and incredibly stylish, it is not perfect, but atmospherically, it is to a thousand.
Fable 2 also offers an honest family, the availability to get a job, and even have an own family (yes! You can be gay, lesbian, bisexual and bigamist!)
A home and a few children. Family life in Fable 2 is really not very useful to the game, but mostly for fun. But above all, it feels like a kind of statement from Lionhead that they can be a hero, while being gay with the mohawk and sideburns, wearing a dress and corset.
What happens when you beat game then? Not much really, sorry.
Shoot 50 gargoyles, look for the 50 silver keys and raise money so that you might even pick up every little grains of sand all over Albion.
Great game which I recommend to the max. 9/10.
