Price Paid:  $0.00 from friend's house

Summary:
fun game but it's really only fun to play through once it is not as open ended as promised their are 2 endings good and bad. The good story is really boring but being mean is always great fun though the meaner you are the more it shows and you start to look ugly. Basically the game will be fun for a bit you will win and never play it again

Strengths:
plenty of gameplay if you get bored you can marry people buy houses get haircuts steal from shops attack gaurds so if the story starts to become tediuos you will have plenty to do. controls are easy to learn

Weaknesses:
not that open ended and you can attack everything except for children i was bummed those smug little punks have it coming another thing is once you win you've won and there is nothing to do

Summary:
This game is a minor disapointment. It promised many things that it didn't deliver. Yet I enjoyed this game. I will not rate this game on the fun I had with it, becuase it is a game with many problems.

Summary:
This really is a very fun game to play, with many things to do. I have played it through 5 times and each time have had different experiences partly due to intentially choosing different fight styles and alignments. Although each game only lasts 10 hours it keeps you coming back for more. The gladiator style mission is my favourite section on an game I can remember.

Summary:
I would have to say that this is one of the better games I have played, Althought I think it is in lacking of expectations it was really worth the wait. The only problem I have with the game would have to be the fact that you can beat this game over and over again because it is so short. I am on my fourth time beating it and still havent lost intrest in it.

Price Paid:  $0.00 from it's someone else's

Summary:
Fable is worth your money if for no reason other than that it's actually worth playing through more than once. It's great fun to try different weapons, different magic skills, different overall strategies, and different everything else. It's a roleplaying game, and you've wasted your money if you don't play the roles.

The game's most hyped and celebrated feature is "alignment"-- your every action contributes to your rating as good or evil. Sadly, it feels like an afterthought, if only because you get good points for killing people in self defense or for the entertainment of others (The Arena). To be evil, you play the same game the same way, except you kill villagers on the side. It's a hobby, not a lifestyle.

The plot is better than a lot of other games, and the voice acting is better than some, though mostly because most games have such terrible voice acting. Unlike some RPG's, you don't have much say in how the plot goes, but to its credit, it does sort of drive the game, enough so that you might actually care about what happens next. More importantly, what happens first may be the game's masterstroke. You start out as a happy farm kid, sent out to do good deeds to fund your beloved sister's birthday present. As an introduction to alignment, you can steal the money as well. After she's received her gift, bandits attack and lay waste to the village. It's actually pretty emotionally affecting when you have to navigate your small child between the fresh corpses in your burning village, at which point you're narrowly rescued by the head of the "Heroes' Guild." As you're inducted into the Guild, you learn the deadly arts (sword, bow, and magic) until you ultimately graduate as a "hero." It may be the least clumsy and most enjoyable control tutorial of any game on the market. After that, you take quests, gradually finding the pieces of the puzzle and learning the truth about the raid that nearly took your life.
