'Fable: The Lost Chapters' has been reviewed at ComputerGames.ro. The score is 86% and here's a snip:If we were to do a top 10 of the most hyped games for the Xbox, Fable would most certainly be ranked at #2, right behind Halo. Course, incredible hype is a common trait for all of Peter Molyneaux’s games (think about Black and White for instance). Initially called Project Ego, Fable was going to be the RPG to end all RPG’s… at least that’s what Peter Molyeaux said. However, the switch from a PC title to an Xbox exclusive meant that a good number of features had to be left out, which as you can imagine didn’t go too well with the fans who where eagerly waiting the game. Nevertheless, Fable managed to score some nice reviews and a commercial success to boot, enough to motivate Microsoft to do a PC port, called The Lost Chapters. To the designer’s credit, TLC is more than just a port: the graphics have been upped accordingly, new content, monsters and items were added, but the game is basically the same, which on many accounts is just a shame, since it never exploits the full potential of the PC as a gaming platform. |
