Fable 2 (360)
As promised, Fable 2.
Story: The game starts with you as a poor boy or girl growing up in the slums with your older sister. You buy a magic music box which starts the process of your sister being shot and you being thrown out of a very very very tall tower. Somehow you survive, and are raised by a mysterious blind woman named Teresa in a gypsy camp. Years pass and Teresa tells you that you are the descedant of a hero long ago (the hero of Fable) and that you have a mission to save the world as well. Your job is gather the three other heroes and use their power to defeat the man who shot you. The storyline of the game is actually really short, but there are a lot of subquests that allow you to fill out your time. 3/5
Audio: The game music isn't bad, but it's not amazing. The main characters have reasonable voice-acting and some good dialogue. The townspeople are annoying with their 3 or 4 lines they like to repeat. About average overall. 3/5
Graphics: The game graphics are pretty good. Your character changes slightly depending on how you act and if you're injured. Most of the townspeople are randomly generated ugly mugs, but they are nicely details ugly people. The environments are attractive. 4/5
Gameplay: The gameplay is fairly simply. You have melee, ranged, and magic attacks all linked to different buttons. You spam these in battle with some "strategy" to avoid death. Monsters you kill give exp corresponding to how you killed them. In town you can do odd jobs (very boring and tedious but good money makers in the beginning). With money you can buy shops, stalls, and houses in order to earn real estate money. Money is slow at the beginning, but as you buy more real estate, you can become very rich very fast. You can also woo people and marry them. Which results in the production of children. Supposedly these kids act like you, but my children were just annoying little bundles that wanted to know why I wasn't home more often. Beside you is your faithful dog who does his best to annoy you with treasure that is buried at the most inopportune times. Overall, the gameplay is fairly simple and easy to pickup. 4/5
Replay: While the story remains the same, your actions can change. Want to be an evil mage next time around or a purehearted archer? easily done. 4/5
Overall: The game is very similar to the first with some nice tweaks. If you want something completely different, look elsewhere, but if you liked Fable, the this is worth picking up.3/5
