Fable - Xbox - GameSpy (original) (raw)
Great!
Fable is here, but is it the definitive RPG experience we all hoped it would be? Read Review
RPG from the mind of Peter Molyneux. In Fable, the players' every action determines their character's skills, appearances and moralities. Life stories are created from childhood through adulthood and on to old age. Players may choose the paths of righteousness or dedicate their characters' lives to evil; observing as they transform into reflections of their actions and decisions. As players' characters develop, the world reacts to them and their actions. People comment on their successes, failures, appearances and behaviors. Their many opinions are expressed through applause, mockery, trepidation, panic and even flirtation. With each person characters aid and every creature they slay, the world is changed forever. In Fable, gamers decide: "Who will I be?"

It also bears the mark of the creative force responsible for its conception: Peter Molyneux, the renowned game designer, and creator of games like Populous and Black & White. Most importantly, the experience it provides is completely engrossing, and all of its subtle elements were crafted with a careful hand. The resulting game feels like it's teeming with life, and genuinely responding to your interactions. Whether or not it's all nothing but smoke and mirrors is secondary. Read More »
