The new combat system lets you master different fighting styles.

You are free to roam the world of Albion any way you like. Every Choice Has Its Consequences
Fable 2 provides players with a truly immersive experience where a virtually limitless number of choices can be made, all of which have their own consequences, making each game unique. When you start the game, you choose either to play the role of a boy or girl, and depending on your choices, the hero will grow up to be tall or short, good or evil. Players can get married and have children; female player characters will become pregnant, which will then be reflected by their physical appearance.

Early in the game, players are presented with a stray dog for a best friend, who will need to be fed and loved, and will accompany the player throughout his or her life. Depending on the player, the dog will change appearance and assist him or her in various ways, such as alerting of impending dangers and attacking enemies.

Players inhabit the world of Albion and are free to roam the land to as they please. Players can use different expressions to communicate with others, such as taunting and laughing, and even belching or farting.

As the players grow, so does Albion, reflecting the choices that were made earlier in the game. Every house, hut, castle, and dungeon can be purchased if the player wishes. Players can buy up all the land in a town and can become mayor, king, and even emperor of the entire land.

Fable 2 presents a dynamic and free-roaming world that doesn't demand a player to take any one set path. At the same time, players seeking a plot line will find an epic story and quest that they can follow if they wish, along with many side adventures.

Fight Using Different Weapons and Magic
Fable 2 introduces a new combat system that allows for mastery of hand weapons, such as swords, long range weapons such as cross-bows and guns, and, of course, magic. Players improve at each discipline with time, and can combine different combat styles when they fight. Other advanced design features include tactical positional advantages that can bring new strategic elements into combat.

Bring Other Players into Your World
Fable 2 has a multiplayer mode that allows you to bring other players into your own world. Consistent with the rest of the game, the actions of these other players can be permanent and affect your world. You can explore and fight together with these other players, share treasures, and even fight each other.

Note: Fable 2 will not ship with Online Co-op mode. An update with this functionality is rumored to be released shortly after the launch of the game.

Xbox LIVE Arcade Mini-Games
Gamers can play minigames through Xbox LIVE Arcade and earn currency that can be used in Fable 2 to purchase weapons, armor, and other items for the hero.

Fable 2 is rated M for having mature content that may be suitable for persons ages 17 and older.


Depending on your choices, the protagonist can turn out wildly different -- male, female, good, evil, and more.

What Customers Say About Fable II:

The display is pretty good, and storyline is as well. The family aspect gets to be a little cumbersome.Overall I would give it a 6 out of 10. Map and traveling are pretty poor. They should take a look at Oblivion's maps, towns, etc. It's worth playing through once, but I recomend picking up a more resonably priced used copy. Not worth paying new price for this one.

I started to play just to mess around a bit, and ended up getting caught up in it and playing the game all the way through (a couple of times).Fable 2 is not as "open" as Elder Scrolls: Oblivion--you can't just wander anywhere you want on a map, anytime you want. I definitely would like to see a way to skip through such an opening in the next episode of Fable.This is not a "difficult" or particularly challenging game to play. Sitting with her and watching her play, I was captured by the beauty of the landscape, the interesting storyline, the well-choreographed combat graphics, and the distinctly British humor that permeates the game. I bought Fable 2 as a Christmas gift for my 14-year-old god-daughter, who enjoys fantasy games. I'm looking forward to the next installation. The biggest criticism I have is that, if you replay the game, there is a very long tutorial-esque opening which is mostly story and little interaction, and the interaction that does take place is mundane and time-consuming (especially after the first play through; it takes about 30 minutes to get through it).

There is still plenty of free space to explore, and flexibility in where you go, and when.

There are cut scenes and and scripted in-game scenes that interrupt gameplay to forward the story.

It's the beautiful world and interesting story than make this game a thumbs-up.

I, too, enjoy fantasy RPGs, but didn't think I'd get into Fable 2 as I prefer more "serious" games.

Learning to be effective in combat is easy, as is accumulating wealth in order to afford the things you need and want.

This is fine, but sometimes I found myself wanting to be able to skip through the dialog (particularly after the first play through).

However, this less-than-fully-open approach allows Fable 2 to deliver a much more cohesive story, and the lack of complete openness isn't really a big limitation.

These, and a lot of quirky humor and novel details (like being able to belch, fart and do other things that inspire a reaction from NPCs nearby, have sex and start families, and if you so desire, turn the "safety" off and rampage through what would normally be a "friendly" area--earning an evil reputation and appearance should you do so).Fable 2 was a pleasant surprise and I'd recommend it to those who enjoy the softer side of fantasy RPG games.

Delivery was on time even during the holiday season, and the DVD arrived in perfect condition.

The only positive thing that came of this transaction was that the company did refund my money. The company then told me that they investigated the matter and the game had apparently been lost in the mail and they would send me a new one, but they also had the nerve to complain about the money they would be out.

It was scheduled to arrive within 7-10 business days. I purchased this game for my son as a Christmas gift.

It still did not arrive so I contacted them and Amazon.com and complained about the situation. After it had not arrived within that amount of time, I contacted the company that I ordered it from.

They said they'd had problems with their local post office and it would arrive within the week, and that they would refund my full purchase price for the inconvenience. The game finally arrived after waiting for a full month and it was damaged and not playable.

(I am able to review the game itself only because we purchased it at a local gaming store)

This is a fantastic game for young and older gamers - the story is full of depth and mystery, the lands are detailed and challenging, your decisions make a huge difference in the future and it is a rare thing these days where you have to deal with your decisions. The story ends a little abruptly but there are so many things to do even after the story arc ends that you will be playing this game for months. The way you play will affect your appearance and the world around you in very dramatic ways. Angel or Devil you will reap what you sow.You start as a child and become involved in a far reaching plot by Lucien, years pass and you continue your adventure in the world you helped change (for good or bad), events unfold and you again skip into the future once again experiencing the aftermath of your own choices. For the price you can't find many deals that will keep you engaged and entertained for nearly as long as Fable 2 will. The Downloadable Content is worth the extra MSPoints to enrich the already beautiful scope of this game.

i love this game but when i bot a new copy from here they sent me an open box with no promotion code in it. Do NOT BUY FROM HERE
