Review

Name: Fable II
Genre: Action RPG
Platform: Xbox 360

Don’t get me wrong, I love my job, but games like Fable II make me wish I wasn’t a game reviewer. It makes me envious of gamers who will be able to spend time with it, finding all of the treasure, exploring every inch of the world, truly taking advantage of the game in the way it was meant to be played. Fable II has been hyped as a game that allows players to do anything, and it isn’t. There is a huge amount of content in the title, and it manages to live up to its hype much better than the original did, but it is still short of what it could have been and falls victim to its own aspirations.

Fable II’s story isn’t its strong point, taking place hundreds of years after the original story, which has become a fable itself. Players start off as a small child who is attempting to purchase a magical box to grant a wish, and needs to go around the town completing different jobs to collect gold. Each job has a good and evil option, and the choices made here show dramatic differences once the plot proceeds, moving ten years into the future.

  • Silver

    Console-style games are rare on the PC. That platform excels at deeper, more complex fare than one is likely to find on a video game system, thanks to its wide variety of input methods and its extensive hardware base. In particular, PC RPGs are known for stats and number crunching, while the typically Japanese-developed console brand of RPG focuses more closely on graphics, story, and characters - the technical versus the stylistic, in a sense. UK-based developer Spiral House clearly felt that PC gamers needed a bit more style in their role-playing, so they created Silver, which was released on the PC last year. Now, the console-style RPG intended for the PC has ironically made its way to Dreamcast. However, Console gamers already used to the style Silver emulates may not be so accepting.
