It was nostalgia. Need to by all the DLC from xbox still, because of Microsoft or Lionhead Studios. Box is nice and the Game is fun.

If the Download Codes are used you will spend about $20 more just to get the content included on the Basic version of Fable II ie. Knothole Island and See the Future (Murgos curse items). Save your money and just buy the basic version.

I decided to buy fable 2 because the first title was a lot of fun but a little too short... they probably did this so you could play twice as both good and evil. It seemed like they were taking a different approach this time around but they didn't, though at it's core is a great game it lacks on expanding its potential. The main issue here is that overall the whole game it seems like they got an idea, started working on, made it work really well but then stopped before it was complete... the co-op could have been awesome but you only play as a henchmen for someone else or vice versa, the clothes is a weak selection with no armor, the story is short but good, there could have been more options in the combat but the thing is they did all those very well there just needed to be... more. Another thing, there are some serious game-breaking glitches that will force you to start over if you save after encountering them. Mainly, that if you do something weird during a "scene" you will get stuck and wont be able to interact with anything. It's avoidable if you don't save but if you do you're screwed. That's pretty much what I learned from playing it through twice though my review sounds negative it's actually a good game and I would recommend it.Read full review
Admittedly my purchase of Fable 2 was based on a whim. I had played the first one and heard some negative things about it. Having a personal taste for games, however, I decided to give it a shot. Needless to say, I haven't been disappointed in the slightest. The world is massive, the environments are beautiful, and redesigns of old enemies (trolls and balverines in particular) spice things up. New enemies are equally as interesting and keep the stakes high. My only criticisms of the game as a whole are the facts that the beginning is relatively slow paced, and some basic movements can be a bit clunky. There are some differences that took minor adjusting to such as the new spell-selector menu and the fact that running and fighting no longer cause your character to lose weight. At first I was opposed to the idea of firearms since I was so attached to the bow and crossbow from Fable TLC, but after giving them a shot I've found them to also be a nice addition to the game. The dog was a nice addition for those who don't expect battle help from it. He does tricks and spots both chested and buried treasure and is all around a fun aspect of the game. He even reflects your morality, and in my case has glowing red eyes for my evil character. While Jobs are fairly simple, they're a nice way to make easy money since enemies no longer drop gold (except in cases where special augments are added to your weapons). Dialogue from characters in the world is still fun and often humorous and connecting to people is a fun way to get renown or marry. The experience you gain is still based on orbs and attaining enough to level up anything past 2 stars takes a fair amount of time to gather. Despite this is the case, your character is not in otherwise disadvantageous jeopardy. Overall I find myself forcing myself away from the world of Fable 2. Main quests are engaging and fun, there are many side quests that keep you entertained in case you need a break from the main quest. This is a great sequel to a great game and a very satisfying buy.Read full review
I'll be perfectly honest. The only reason I bought this game was for the extra content. Primarily, the armor that makes your character look like the Master Chief from Halo and the Covenant Sword. If you listen carefully when taking out this sword, it uses the sound effect in the background of the energy sword! Also, lets face it, Fable II has no true armor in it really. Not like Fable anyway. So this add on is in my opinion the coolest looking in the game, that I have found so far. I wish there was a combination of gems you could put in the sword to make it actually as powerful as the sword is in Halo. But there isn't. Price is high, but that is to be expected of any Limited Edition game. The only thing that would have made this better is if they had included a firearm with the set. Like the pistol or the assault rifle from Halo. That would have been really awesome.Read full review
I recently purchased this item after watching a few reviews online. Many people believed it was one of the top 5 rpg's of all time. Others thought it was a disgrace to all rpg's. Basically it came down to fitting the rpg criteria and the difficulty level. It is very easy, but still worth playing. I played through the game without dying once but it was still very entertaining. If you can get past the low difficulty, you will find it very fun. A lot of people were saying that it didn't really have enough choices to be an RPG. However every decision you make affects the world in some way and you can choose how everyone thinks of you. You can build a life, run businesses, and even have a family. Pros- BEAUTIFUL and realistic graphics. Every minor detail was thought of during the making of Fable 2. Story line is intriguing and will keep you interested. Cut scenes look like real life. Long game play. Many choices. Cons- Combat system is lacking in difficulty. Some discrepancies as to whether it's an actual rpg (IMO the story itself is lacking in choices but it makes up for it with the side quests). Bottom line- You can do so much more in this game than the typical RPG. The beauty and vastness of the world will have you exploring constantly. Work your way past the low difficulty and you have a wonderful game. Rating: 10/10Read full review
In the begining of the first weeks it was fun and all but i didnt think it was worth it at the time then i told my friends to get it and it was a fun and amazing game. My favortie part is the online trading with other players and that fact you can buy stores and rent out houses do jobs and cuztomize your character. Althought i wish there was a bit more options to cuztomize your character. But the game is still amzing the world is like big especially if you walk to your destination instead of telepoting now people might think its stupid to walk but you actually discover more like that. This game is fun but i does have downsideswhich are,that the co op has really bad camera angles but you can get use to it the game itsent much of a challenge and when you die it really dosent matter you just lose the exp that is around you that you didnt collect and get scars but the scars can be healed. Theres other ones like the movement of your character but there not much of a promblem other than that i recomend that anyone that like medieval things and somewhat of a rpg game. =D 9.4/10Read full review
After receiving it I patched it and started playing. I haven't beaten it yet, but if I had I would have been very disappointed. It has plenty to keep you busy, and includes new downloadable content. Overall it's similar to the old game, but I do dislike that it has less spells. The advantage to this is that they allow you to make each spell stronger, but generally uses the same skill, will, and strength as the first game. The good change is that one skill and strength ability is different and allows you to do more in combat. The graphics look good and without patching the game there are some annoying bugs. Overall I have recommended this game to a few friends. The bonus DVD was alright, but I'm not into the making of the game that much and haven't looked at many sketches. I do find the traveling hobbe kinda funny in a way, and just glad I bought this game at the same price of the non-limited edition version.Read full review
Great game and very fun to become the Hero or Vilan of your efforts & actions. It's very entertaining to have the game chance because of your actions and behavoirs. As your world evoles and you become the person you create, to go back and play another way is always exciting. And as the passage of time and era's how we learn how to control and change the world around us.GREAT GAME!!!
The story is great the character's are prefect! The humor will crack you up! Ok here's what I didn't like about the game. What is wrong with you Lion Head Studio's & Microsoft you have a great sequel but for crying out loud why can't the main character have a jump button feature! I mean seriously is it to hard for you to add this in the game! I certainly hope that Fable 3 will finally have a jump button feature! And I hope it will be even more Action packed like this one was I absolutely love Fable 2 but 3 had better have more improvements! And if you want more info on this game go check out 1up.com or gamespot.com heck even youtube.com Enjoy gamers!
