Ninja Gaiden is one of the best games ever created. I decided to get an XBox primarily to be able to play this game.....it's that good.

I really enjoyed playing and beating Fable. It was a little shorter than I expected, but there was a lot more stuff that I could have done. Graphics were good, music was great, story line was superb. I would reccomend buyting this game, because you will enjoy playing it to it's completion.

considering how much detail and effort they put into this game it will probably outrank kotor which is probably the best game on xbox, I can't believe Morrowind is compared with this, we all know Fables gonna be way better. I mean tatoos,clothing,battle scars,haircuts,armor and pets! I know Morrowind has some of those but the graphics suck! Fables graphics are awesome! If you see Morrowind in the store right next to Fable, take my word for it Fables a better choice.

Fable... What can we say about fable that all the other 37 people have said about it. The graphics are breath taking. The World just begs to be explored. (even if it is to kill thing to get mor XP) The ladies are fun to marry. Yet the fact remains I wanted more. I want more quest more weapons. GIVE ME MORE. Why the hell would you make a great game and only put about ten hours of main quest in there. There was a person back there saying that it was more in depht than KOTR. I beg to Differ. For one if you can never speak Why cant you be a female Character?. Or why do you Age about 60 years in about 3 days of In game time?. Why does every one else look young and healthy when they should be 90?. Why cant you choose how your characters face look like?. There are alot of thing they could have made custom for the player and not set. The fact that you cant Choose your dialog is also disapointing. You cant interact whith this great world they have created. I Know you have gestures but being able to tell some one off is half the fun of an RPG. I did like the fact that if you want you can slaughter Any one that pisses you off. That is one thing KOTR Need badly. The sad part is that I really wish that they had made it a bit longer and that the aging part wasnt as severe. I do hope that the online thing will pan out and maybe we can get more quest or different characters. No I have a question. If you can only be male why can you buy a dress? Or why is the english flag on his but?

I suppose I'm one of the only people reviewing this so far that actually played the game. I hadn't read a lot of hype on this game before played it at a gaming convention, and only saw a small bit while I researched the release date for this game, so I don't think I'm "buying into the hype". I restarted the game at the con and played from the beginning until I turned into a teenager, and then completed a few tasks after that. The total length of time I spent playing was about 1.5 hours. I only played the "good" side. It was really cool and I can't wait to buy the game and finish it.
You are only a kid for about an hour of gameplay, and the start to the game is slow. The slow start is why I gave the game only 4 stars for the "fun" rating. However, what you do in the beginning matters a lot, and it gets much better, so I'll forgive the slow start and give the game 5 stars overall. I didn't get all the way to the end, so it better not dissappoint, but I played enough of the game to know that it will at least keep me occupied for several months while I play through the different variations.

I agree with deebee, even if a game looks INCREDIBLY awesome, it doesn't mean it's going to live up to the hype, I've been disappointed before. At any rate, from all I've read and all the screenshots I've been drooling over, I really really think this game is going to take RPGing to a whole new level, since, for me at least, one of the things that make an RPG a good one is the stregnth of the main character (in terms of depth), and since I'm going to be the person who decides it, I can't see how it can go wrong! I'll be keeping my fingers crossed!

It doesnt bode well for a game when you hear so much hype over a game. Your expecting it to be the "all time best" RPG that's ever been released. Case in point with Fable, there was seriously too much hype over this game and yes. I got sucked into the dreaded hype machine along with countless others.
Well i finally got around to playing this game a little while ago. I did kind of enjoy what it had to offer, but it seemed to me that as far having choices. between being good or evil they were rather limited to be honest. I mean if your gonna be evil and some quest comes up that says "you must protect this person" and you dont. Shouldnt you have the choice to say forget that i'm not saving anybody or instead of protecting. You rob the person for whatever you desire. It does this in the game sometimes, but nowhere near often enough to feel like. I had a choice in the matter. Another thing as well what is the deal with the timed missions. I know its probably to put pressure on the player or what have you. But i dont see that being necessary at all.
Again it all should boil to you having the choice to be able to do what you want when you want. Sure you can punt chickens, marry and sleep with as many people as you want (as long as you dont get caught), wear some pretty cool armor, tattoos, beards/mustaches and all that. There are also optional quests that you can do as well. But even after doing all that, i still was able to beat the game in under 20 hours. I wasnt rushing through the game or anything like that. I had like 3 houses and at least that many "spouses". I liked being able to choose how i wanted to dispatch of any enemy via sword/bow&arrow or magic. Even though i didnt use that much because it tends to wear down the player.
But even with all that including other things to do like opening secret doors, finding this lost treasure and some others. I was still left wondering. Where is the game that PM promised? I cant help but feel a little bit cheated by it. I'm sure i'm not the only person that feels that way. Add to the fact that "The Lost Chapters" are now showing up on the PC in the very near future.
It sort of feels like a slap in the face to all the people that went out and purchased this game expecting great things. They happened but were few and far between for me. I have no desire to go back and play through Fable again. I can only hope that the next Fable game coming to the Xbox 360 delivers "all" the goods promised in this one.

I wasn't too familiar with the idea of the game before I purchased it.
Complete a lifelong journey from childhood to the grave. Fighting your way through life and solving the mystery of your family. The game changes with your every move....
The game sounds very good, but when you start to play, you realize that your childhood lasts about 20 minutes, and your teenage years last about an hour. So really the game of a life journey can be decieving.
But all that aside, the game is very exciting; increasing your character's attributes ranging from how strong they are, to the many magical spells you may cast. Determining if you would rather travel down the path of good or evil. Marying a woman....or even a man (the character is a boy)?!?!
Quests give you the ability to earn gold and experience points to level up your character to fight the toughest guards, theives, monsters, and even the undead. One issue that I do have with teh quests are that there is a golden icon that leads you to the path in which you are supposed to take to complete the quest. So, in other words, the quests are laid out to you with no questions or concers; except defeating those that stand in your way.
One portion of the game that does keep your interest is the ability to party til you puke, that's right, your character can get so incredibly drunk that he will actually vomit! Be careful though, because if you want to marry, you must present yourself in a well manner.
I would advise any RPG fanatic to pick this up off the shelves immediately and set some time aside for this game.

This game is one of the Better RPG's on the market. You start as a young boy and as the game progresses you get older, sound familiar? *smiles* You also receive battle wounds (scars) that are visible on the spot you where wounded, my guy looks kind of like an American Indian after 30 years of knife fighting! Great story, also VERY Re-Playable, the story can be molded by your decisions and your Karma.

All though the game ends when you are realy getting into it its still worth the purchase.18 +/- hours of game play. but hey just think of it as paying for itself Your time is at least worth $5 some thin' a hour right. thats what alot of employers seem to think. so for $50 dollors you get $70-$90. Thats how i usualy rate my games so have fun awsome game but short.

"Fable" is by far one of the funnest and most addicting games to play on the XBOX. With a great story and superb game-play, as well as many elements that truly add to the experience, this is one of my all-time favorite games I've yet to play...
Featuring a great story of a boy who grows up to become a hero (or perhaps villain, depending on the choices you make), the game is made up of many quests that will raise your renown, as well as decide how others look at you. You can live honorably, or choose a darker path...it's all up to you. And it's all determined by the choices you make in the game how the characters in the game will react to you....
On top of such things as weapons and armor, your hero can change his hairstyle and even get tattoos, which all change his appearance in the game. He can even get married (to multiple women); buy houses that he can live in or rent out for extra income; eat, drink, and get drunk; and even kick chickens, which will vary in distance. What the relevance of some of these features are, I'm not sure, but it is all there should you choose to make use of it, which I feel really adds to the true depth of this game.
The game also continues after you complete the storyline, allowing you to play on and enjoy its great world even after you've won. I feel this feature was a rather fun addition, though I didn't play on for too long after completing it. I gave up on it when I got a copy of Fable: the Lost Chapters, which is said to have a lot of new features. I have yet to complete the latter version, though, so I am doing a review for the original version first. But, despite which version you go with, you really can't go wrong with this game. It is by far one of the true highlight games for the XBOX.

If your looking for a good game to pass the time Fable is a pretty good bet. The mission based gameplay leads you through the story, but the option to be honorable or just plain ruthless keeps it entertaining enough to keep you playing. The spells you choose to learn along the way make the game unique each time through and it's short enough that you don't mind playing through it again... and again. Some of the people wondering around can get in your way pretty easily if you are using area spells or even a bow, but you can alwayse smite the anoying buggers :)
