On
paper it had everything a good sequel needs. Better graphics. Better
combat. Dog. But some how it wasn't.
I
remember picking it up a few years ago because it seemed better than
1, a games I put about 5 hours into before the clumsy combat made me
give up the mouse/keyboard combo for action games forever.
So
when I learned Fable 2 was Xbox only and with my 360 gathering dust I
decided it was time to give the series another shot. $30 and 10 hours
later I told a friend Fable 2 was my favorite Western Action RPG of
all time causing my PS3 and my copy of Oblivion to burst into an
emotional meltdown like my daughter when she wants to be pushed
around on her tricycle.
But
another 3 hours later I realized I was a dumb ass. Now Fable 2 is not
a bad game. Even despite its over hype and broken promises. It's just
very repetitive.
Sure
there's a quite a bit to do compared to the average AAA release but
when compared to other sandbox rpgs its just doesn't stack up. (Look
UP SKYRIM, GTA4, PROTYPE, INFAMOUS.)
Hell
you can't even call it a sandbox. When traveling Albion you'll spent
more time watching the loading screen than ever exploring the 2 dozen
or so environments and locales.
Sure
standing in the center of town dancing, getting laid, and doing odd
jobs can be fun but it's not enough to add any real depth to the
experience.
At
least combat is fun except for the need to hold down the magic button
to charge spells. But when you literally fight through the same
enemies in the same places over and over again you'll start to feel
the game is just fucking with you and artificially lengthening it's
self.
Overall
fable 2 is a fun game but will only hold your attention until the end
of the main quest with little else to do than collect wives and pet
your dog.
