Fable 2

Fable 2, the long awaited sequel in the Fable series comes equipped with a great story line, mysterious characters and a beautiful if a slightly creepy world to explore; welcome back to Albion.

The story begins after your first choice of the game, the easiest one you will have to make, whether you want to be male or female. Altough this is a feature that didn't appear in the first, the beginning and the basic storyline is similar.

You first appear in the world of Albion as a child with your elder sister Rose, your first mission if you choose to accept (you don't have a choice) colect five coins to but as item. Seem Familiar? It should if you have played the original.

And then comes the reason why a hero is needed. A madman makes himself known, desperate to destroy the land to replace it with a better one. He disappears, you find a home among the gypsies and your adventure begins.

Bandits, Highwaymen and Balverines have managed to survive in Albion and even Oakvale makes an apperance. One thing that does remain the same is your choice over good and evil, do you help the Bandits or the Farmers? Do you sacrifice people to the shadows or donate to the light? It's all up to you.

However with all the excitement of the game I thought its length is quite disappointing and quite a few of the missions hardly presented a challenge for me, strangely though none of this takes away from the brilliance of the game.

One last bit of information; don't stop playing just because you've finished the main storyline, there are quests that only become available after defeating the madman, one in particular results in you being able to change the gender of your character. These quests can be difficult but that depends on the last choice you make; Sacrifice, Love or Money.

Very fun unaddictive game which is very fun and can be enjoyed at all age levels. Good graphics, good story and is quite long unlike call of duty 5 which I completed in 3 hours. Well recommend Fable 2 for the xbox 360.
