Fable is a pretty ambitious game. But like so many ambitious games, A for effort doesn’t always translate into A for experience. Even Peter Molyneux, who oversaw the game’s development, felt compelled to apologise for the finished product not quite living up to his own hopes and promises. Nevertheless, Fable is a highly competent and thoroughly enjoyable RPG; its main strength is the breadth of experience on offer – but on the flipside, its main weakness is a general lack of depth.
