Conclusion:
It’s been a long time coming and now that it’s here I must say I’m impressed in many ways. Fable is a funny and exciting game, with pretty graphics and extremely well done audio. The only downside is that it only takes between 7 and 10 hours to finish, depending on how many sub quests you do. You can add a couple of hours if you plan on marrying, messing around with villagers, and so on. Playing through the game a second time as the polar opposite of your first character can be fun, just to see how the in-game people react, but personally I didn’t feel too motivated to do it, considering how the story had already unfolded in its entirety. Star Wars: Knights of The Old Republic was better in this way, but I’m sure many will want to give both ‘good guy’ and ‘bad guy’ a shot.

Due to its short length and somewhat limited replay value it’d be easy to recommend this as a rental, but in all honesty it’s a game you’ll want in your collection just for the sake of owning it.

Fable was once said to be something along the lines of the best RPG ever, but because of the overly simplified console mechanics it’s “merely” a very good one.
