 Better than the original November 17, 2008
Compared to the original, Fable 2 is considerably longer, has more land to explore, and a much wider variety of customization options. It is also quite a bit less linear than the first.
The much talked-about dog lived up to pretty much every expectation, and makes the game a deeper experience, as you now actually have something to take care of.
There are entire areas that will change visually as well as culturally depending decisions made throughout the game.
The main plot is longer than the original, but still short. However, the number of side-quests available before the main quest's ending as well as the number and sizes of the post-story side-quests give the game a lot more play time.
There are a few minor bugs reported, however my first play-through went without any hitches.
Overall, if you enjoyed Fable 1, you will LOVE Fable 2.
If semi-linear, action RPGs aren't your bag, then... Rent it and see if you like it.
Great condition and great game November 16, 2008
The package arrived on time and in great condition. I pre-ordered the game and the package came during release day. Ever since I got this game, I had a blast playing it.
 very short game with no replay value November 16, 2008
This game fell way short of my expectations, it was one of the most hyped up games of 2008. It fell short in nearly every way... it was very very short, the promised co-op mode was nothing like what was promised.
 Awesome November 16, 2008
I think that this is a great game, I've had it since it came out and have yet to beat it just because I have been doing so many other things than the main quest. If you are looking for a game that you can play more than once and that is lots of fun, this is the game.

OVERALL RATING: A-
I came into the Fable game late. I read reviews on the Fable: The Lost Chapters when it first hit the market and I decided to skip the game initially. However, when I started to hear a lot of buzz about Fable II, I decided to go back and try the first installment. I was pleasantly surprised and eagerly awaited the second installment.
In short, Fable II delivers! There are many more side quests than in the first game and the graphics, as you might expect, are simply amazing. The addition of the dog as your companion also makes tons of sense and plays well into the game.
Here are some other new additions that are worth noting:
- Enhanced Relationships: Get married, get divorced, have kids, contract STDs and more.
- Gargoyles: A side quest worth pursuing in which gargoyles on random structures mock your hero's abilities. I won't spoil the grand prize for finding all 50 gargoyles, but it's well worth the effort.
- Enhanced weaponry: You now have the ability to use guns in addition to the melee weapons from the previous game.
- Real Estate Mogul: Buy up everything from shops, to houses to castles. Get great deals by chumming up to the owners or just kill them.
- Work Hard for Your Money: Jobs are now an option to make money. Work as one of the following > woodcutter, blacksmith, bartender, assassin, and bounty hunter.
- Build Up Your Influence: Use the expanded list of expressions to influence people's opinion of you. You now have over 40 expressions, which range from belching to slapping. Some of the expressions also include an execution meter, which determines how much influence your expression has on onlookers.
The main story line is solid and keeps you hooked throughout, with an ending that will have you looking to play again.
One of the biggest selling points of the game is the replay factor. Based on your actions you can either be good or evil in the game, which impacts the story line differently. In addition, you can decide to be either male or female at the beginning of your quest. Taking these factors into account, you can easily play through the game 4 times to see what changes. Think of this game as one of those books where you choose your next step (e.g. turn to page 25 to enter the cave or turn to 50 to leave).
You will find some small glitches in the game, which would have probably been eliminated if the game came out a little later. You will occasionally get stuck behind a door, behind someone in your way or behind an invisible object while swimming. These happen infrequently enough and do not affect the overall game experience.
