Fable II The XBox 360 RPG

Fable II is one of the biggest titles of 2008, and has been anticipated by many eager 360 owners for years. As such, a lot of hype has been built up, as feature after feature was unveiled and sounded more awesome than the last. Fable II may not be the best RPG ever made, and it lacks depth in a few key areas, but it succeeds in creating an experience that is undeniably fun, fresh, and rich in content. In many ways, it feels as though the original Fable was only a demo for Fable II and not a proper predecessor. Fable II explores what happens when a game does away with most forms of punishment, and does nothing but reward its players from start to finish. The results are astonishing.

Gamers will revisit the newly expanded world of Albion more than 500 years after the events of the original “Fable,” where they are free to explore the landscape and openly roam the countryside. For the right price, every house, hut, dungeon and castle is for sale. Gamers can start earning in-game currency for the Fable II world later this year, before the game’s release to retail, by downloading and playing an Xbox LIVE Arcade title, which contains three minigames. The Xbox LIVE Arcade title will be available for download on Xbox LIVE Arcade and allow gamers to purchase weapons, armor and more for their hero.

Players can place bets on such things as individual numbers, pair rolls, trip rolls, even or odd, black or red, and other such combinations. Players will continuously bet on the same table until either the two keystones are removed (10 and 11) or either the 3 or 18 stones are removed. Players must merely feed their pooch and he will love unconditionally, creating a bond that sets up emotion-filled journeys throughout this magical world. Players can witness how the world grows and changes in response to their decisions in incredible and unique ways as they rediscover Albion as if for the first time.

Fable II is more of a sandbox, with the plot existing primarily to introduce you to new areas in which to play around. The side-quest plots are amusing and enjoyable, often involving eccentric characters who are doing goofy or silly things; while the humor is a bit juvenile, it maintains such a cheerfully silly atmosphere. Fable II is an action role-playing game (RPG) that truly allows players to live the life they choose in the newly expanded open world of Albion. Set 500 years after the original, Fable II will provide gamers with an epic story and innovative real-time gameplay, including a massive amount of freedom and choice to explore a vast collection of dungeons, catacombs and taverns in the world of Albion. Fable II is a beautiful, interactive morality play wherein you’ll make difficult choices, like whether to exact vengeance on a murderous criminal, or to turn the other cheek. You’ll potentially learn more about your personal beliefs system through your actions.
