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
