Fable II Game Review

From Lionhead Studios comes the amazing sequel to the original Fable brought to you on the Xbox 360 console. Set 500 years after the events of the first Fable, released August 1, 2004, Fable II, released October 21, 2008, is everything Fable was and much MUCH more. The Fable series is part of the gaming genre of RPG (role-playing game) where the player takes control of the central main character and leads him through a story line. Fable 2 is set in the land of Albion where the heroes of old have passed from the everyday to myth and legend. The main character, known only as Hero, sets out on a journey to avenge the childhood murder of his sister. The first main difference I noticed when I started playing Fable II was the ability to chose whether the hero would be a boy or a girl. The graphics are based around the same idea as the first game.
Fable II's story line is a one of a kind experience where everything your character does has its own effect on the land around you. Good deeds are rewarded with cheers from towns folk and a happy Albion while the evil deeds will be greeted with fear and darkness. The revolutionary fighting system and leveling system the game uses is very nice. The first Fable game was released with many promises made by the publisher that were left unfilled. Fable II is the fulfillment of those promises and more. 9 out of 10 and worth getting.
