Though Fable doesn't live up to all of the hype heaped upon it from the time it was first announced as Project Ego, it is a fine, if a bit short, action-RPG. Much like the Zelda games, Fable gives players a story with a solid emotional core and gives them compelling reasons to explore the world at hand. Unlike Zelda, Fable is overly short with a campaign that some players will complete in one sitting. Playing through the game two times, pursuing both a good and an evil path, while completing all the side quests and playing tons of mini-games will still get the average player less than twenty hours of game play. That said, all of the above activities are fun enough to reward the replays, so those twenty hours will be time well spent.
