  • I'm twelve and I want fable 2 is it too violent? Or will I be ok? Plus I'm really mature please help :)

  • @DaZone99 Dude I played it when I was 11, I got so addicted and its so awesome, im 13 now. Best game I played. BEST STORYLINE, DO NOT GET FABLE 3, IT SUCKS.

    And it's not that violent at all. But you can have sex in it...oh I had a blast having sex in that game...

  • Have to admit I got abit too addicted to fable 2... Awake til 5 every night - awake and back on it. somewhat glad I don't have the game anymore :P

  • Fable II was just great,how could Fable III come out so awful.What the fuck happened to the development team ??

  • Sorry Fable 3 Gave me a headache

  • Fable gave me a headache :P

  • I love Fable 2 and all tho Fable The Journey is a 1ST person Kinect only game for the Xbox 360. The world looks i lot more like Fable 2 did witch is a good thing, and with every1 not exited about this small chapter in the legendary Fable franchise YOUR DUMB! Because it will most surely be a lot more like Fable 2 but with some cool NEW twists and EXITING turns. Believe this game will bring back the good old memories in witch we all miss from Fables 1 and 2. Oh and Fable 4 Xbox 720 release 2013.

  • @fablethejourney I'm sorry... but it's WHICH. Just needed to say that...

  • i like fable 3 more then fable 2 but i like fable 2 game of the year way betta then fable 2 fable 3 multilayer is probably the best thing the fixed

  • These are just my opinions..

  • And in fable 2 you meet Theresa more, I think she is interesting. And a perfect hero guide. In fable 3 you only meet her in "the road to rule" kinda.. And fable 2 have more wepons and gunz. Sure it's cool that the wepons can change depending on how you play the game. But i like variations, be able to have many differently kinds of wepons and clothes! Speakin' of clothes fable 3 have ridiculously less clothes than fable 2 it's not like the same style anymore! I know it's 100 years later but still

  • I think that Fable 2 was the best one, Fable 3 was a fun! BUT it don't have the same interaction system as fable 2, You can't make like a random taunt whenever you want etc. That is what i miss the most in fable 3. And why have fable 3 less spells and why did they take away the "Will lines"? That really sucks! Im not saying fable 3 sucks, in that game you can really hug and touch people. I like that, But the main story is boring after the seond time you completed the game fable 2 ain't like that

  • Fable > FAble 2 > Fable 3

  • Pros: great visuals with engaging presentation that makes it feel like a book come to life. Great and fun gameplay. Good voice acting

    Cons: unoriginal simple story and lack of boss fights.

    Verdict: 8 out of 10

  • fable was great! fable 2 was even better! fable 3 stayed true to the series' story for the most part but in the end, I was left unsure of which outweighted the other... the pros or the cons! I do like though how Theresa has maintained a role in the games following Fable 1! she is probably the main reason i continue playing these games!

  • @darkiscoolz i only played fable 2 and 3 but i thought fable 3 had a really good story and characters that were very memorable particularly Reaver! out of the 2 fable 2 was my favorite because it had a better story than fable 3 IMO and the customization was a million times better.

  • @InsideMyOpinion it is a matter of opinion, in my opinion fable does have a better fantasy world and has a better story than oblivion, oblivion has much more things to do though and the mods make it even better.

  • @Alexthapanda shouldnt really compare Fable with the Elder scrolls. Both are quite different. Fable is like a true fairytale fantasy story. Elder scrolls is more medieval like kinda like medieval Europe but with Elves, Orcs, etc. Elder Scrolls is a meant to be first person game although you can play in 3rd person its better using first person. Elder scrolls dont put too much into their main plot story because the main plot is just small part of it as there is so many side quests and huge world.

  • how do you change dog in this game?

  • @182shane

    You dont.

  • every time a game makes something simpler it makes the whole game go shit. fable 2 was way better, honestly peter molyneux kept on complaining about people not experimenting with fable 2 and took it all away. well i say who gives a shit, those who didnt experiment or make hard choices were fucking cod gamers. im gonna trade fable 3 back and get my old fable 2.

  • @jkdoorbinnia Do that. Fable 2>>>>>>>Fable3.

  • Fable II was the best of the series.

  • @natedadrake you mean Fable 1.

  • what!? no HD...:(?!

  • pause 5:15 Dick Lake

  • beat it the second time through in less than 9 hours. so fun

  • Anybody else think Fable 3 was a step backwards? Fable II had a much better interaction system, better framerate, less glitches and a better combat leveling system. Fable 3 was way to oversimplified.

  • @XileLord Totally agree!! The graphics are better, and I like the idea of the sanctuary and lack of endless lists - but Fable II beats it at everything else...

  • @XileLord you're right...too bad fable 2 isn't for pc.

  • @XileLord I do.

  • @XileLord yea and fable 3 had less choice, smaller world, and less endings.

  • @XileLord Way too simplified and BAD framerate! I mean an exclusive game having bad framerate is retarded.. The game run at 23-24 fps most of the times

  • @XileLord i agree w/ everything except glitches since in fable 2 4 me there was a lot more glitches. but i like the graphics in fable 3, and fighting itself

  • @XileLord In my opinion, I think Fable II's story was better too! :)

  • @MrWalkthroughHelper It cause us Canadians are really close to the british

  • I understand the British humour so well! I love this game because of the humour!

  • thumbs up plz

  • This guy said "awesome" like 1000 times

  • fable 2 or fable 3 which should i get i want the one with a longer story and more things to do and more action and the one with the cooler looking evil guy that you can become

  • @xxkevin228xx Fable 2 For all the the Time Horns for being evil Instead of Fable 3's Charge up Attack to get Wings + Horns that then disapear again...

  • whoever complains about this game. Ok just don't play it. Fable is as unique as the most unique game that comes to your mind. You just don't get it. If you play it from another point of view than the "ok let's play another oblivion like game" one then you will like it believe me.

  • 1:29 = lol

  • Comment removed

  • Fable 2 summary: 1: Kid 2: Teen 3: Find Fat Girl 4: Find sir Glow alot 5: Find the worlds first Metrosexual. 6: Dream about sister. 7: Shoot Lucien once. Game over. Fable TLC was the best!
  • He's a retarded dwarf

  • @chiefjango i c

  • @chiefjango oh lol

  • why is this game rated m looks like it should be rated T or E+10

  • @SuperMicklovin cause is for adults....in the game you get married and you get to decise your sexual orientation..!! there's prostitute in villages..!! think of it...like...dragon age meets gta4 meets larry...lol...

  • @xxxjun k i c but whos larry?

  • @SuperMicklovin the fact that you can have sex is enough.

  • this doesnt look like a good game..i may be wrong, but this review is boring me, compared to other RPG games

  • 2:34 he is staring up the dogs arse :O

  • i just bought a new xbox 360 slim,for playing gow 2 and fable 2.even though i had a ps3 ,i felt left out for not having these great titles.

  • how can you change your skin color in this game?

  • I like this game its fun.

  • best game ever

  • @6Kieran shame I can't play it. No Pc Release! :P

  • @edstar83 w8 till fable 3 come out on oct 26 u wont regret trying fable me i think fable is a greatest game i eva play n i cant w8 2 try fable 3

  • Everybody in this game is apparently from Essex and EastEnders

  • the lost chapters was much better

  • Ahh...Fable. I loved the 1st one. It was the best RPG. When I heard the 2nd was coming out I couldn't wait, and of course, it didn't dissapoint!

    This game is so amazing, I can't even think of one bad thing about it. Well, Fable III's coming in a few months, and chances are it'll be one of the best games of 2010/11!

  • the whole story is MEANT to be cheesy.. its not called fable for nothing. its supposed to put you in the shoes of an overpowered "hero". get over it gamespot

  • 1:25 did the girl die?

  • @pokemonkittens no but she dies about five minutes after that happens lol

  • this game looks stupid

  • @Lasekfraek nah its pretty good

  • really boring review BUT amazing game

  • american idiot

  • The time is... very late!

    haha 3:04

  • This music is a hundred times better than the actual music in the game.

  • This is the best RPG game i ever played its so much stuff u can do on the side of the game and i recomend it to everybody... u can have so much fun in the game. XD

  • @bosnia1997 do you know that the g in rpg means game...you dont have to say "rpg game".

  • this game is cool

  • Im getting this game soon i playd the 1 one and now its my favorite game i cant freaking wait!!! i love UK for making this game !!!

  • @MrMaciej555 hey i would get fable 2 platinum edition. it comes with the two dlc's

  • @MrMaciej555 If you haven't bought it yet - remember to pick up Game Of The Year Edition with additional DLC.

  • Liked the game overall. Fun and enjoyable, and rather simple. The game is much better when you are less powerful, as it gets just way too easy after a while. Sidequests are fun for a bit too, and again become repetitive. Biggest rip-off? The ending, hands down. That final "showdown" was so brutal. What the hell was all the leveling up for? Otherwise, a good time. 7/10.

  • The only problem I had with this game was terrible lag. But I did like the gargoyles KISS MUH STONEY ASS!!! lol

  • Why do they refer to it as only "fable"? have you forgotten that this is "fable 2" and not "fable" ?

    the original fable was made about 8 years ago. and it should not be forgotten.

  • after a while it got really boring. so i gave it to a friend

    but i admit it was fun at first

  • The time is... Very late...

  • wakey wakey daytimebrakey!

  • @darthlozer2 Hi, should i get Demons Souls, Left 4 Dead 2, or Fable 2? Which game has better graphics and more hours of gameplay? Thanks.

  • @nrothmeier never played demon souls fable 2 is very addictive and left for dead 2 is fun fable 2 has cartoony graphics left 4 dead 2 meh and demon souls has good graphics

  • Left 4 dead has really good graphics

  • not really but it more than makes up for it with the amount of enemies on screen and no frame rate issues but it has average graphics

  • I guess but I found that L4D Graphics looked good in my eyes so I don't know must be just me lol

  • @nrothmeier I LOVE demon's souls, but left 4 dead 2 is really good too.

  • how can i get the halo?

  • Buy it?

  • nah i looked it up and you get it when yer 100% good

  • worth getting?

  • @DragKiingX2000 yes its badass

  • @DragKiingX2000 yes it is it is One of my favorite Games :)))

  • ha he's a girl in it

  • fable 2...

    never hear the same sentance....(the time is. Very late)about sums it up

    amazing combat system... it was too simple and u couldn't die.

    story is long and awesome..... it was short and silly

    the ending was shit.

    getting people to marry u and into bed was easy and stupid with the emotion system.

    don't get me wrong it was an ok game for a week and i played it alot there was just too much missing from what linohead promised, i hope they make fable 3 what 2 should have been.

  • this is a BRITISH game made by BRITISH developers. i guarantee the ones of you who talk shit about it or say Fallout or Oblivion is better are mostly american. american's just don't get it, through no real fault of their own. and the one who said Bethesda should have made it..well..it wouldn't be Fable then. Lionhead are a BRITISH studio, and Bethesda are American. American's don't get brits a lot of the time so figures they wouldn't get this game

  • yep i am, but doesn't change the fact that the character development and story was half ass. I felt closer the characters in a RTS. As far as it being because it's a brit thing, was lionhead brit for the first one? loved the first one, had good story, even felt a little bad at the end for killing the sister so i could have the wicked sword. 2nd one had no feeling.

  • British people made Batman arkham asylum aswell

  • @sickspastic well fuckin said m8 fuck the american dickheads who say shit about england only cause we are better :p

  • @sickspastic that is not entirely true, i am american and i can't get enough of the fable games

  • @sickspastic So British that they have John Cleese in Fable III. Just awesome, I love British humor.

  • @sickspastic

    to be honest without even taking into account the whole american-british thing, fallout is an all-around better RPG unless you hate VATS combat. for me fable 2 didnt last me more than 30 hours with sidequests/rare weapons, ect. the combats fluid and fun, but theres really a lack of depth and content. the dog was cool though. fallout 3 clocked in for me around 100 hours..and i still havent done alot of sidequests. i hope fable 3 keeps the combat but goes more in-depth

  • @Lobotomick you believe Fallout 3 to be a better RPG, that's all. In fact, Fallout 3 is far worse. I find Morrowind to be the best RPG from Bethesda. Although tbh I'm a much larger fan of JRPGs.

  • @sickspastic Lmao, that is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. I bet that if an american studio made this game, no one would think it had any relevance to Britain (other than the accents, of course)

  • @wawern we all have our opinions, but there's no need to be an ass about it.

  • @j800r Lmao, How was I an "ass about it"? Because I said it was dumb? 

  • @sickspastic it was desgned in france by the English wheras number 1 was all English

  • @sickspastic i Love this game obsesed with it and im from canada

  • @sickspastic im american and i total get this game 

  • @sickspastic not to be rude im english and this game isnt as good as fallout oblivion or even fable 1. its not a very good english game. like LBP or gta. im not gunna lie there are a load more good amarican games than english , but its a way bigger contry.

  • @conradlee65 gta isnt english neither is lbp epic fail

  • @IrishGodThe4th epic nothing the original makers of GTA are English just cuz its set in America doesn't mean its made by American. watch machinams history of GTA it all the And yes Lbp is English there based in Guildford near London soooo Shut the fuck up your the one who failed

  • @conradlee65 gta devs are scottish

  • @IrishGodThe4th no there not scottish u can even look it up dont talk about wat u clearly dont no

  • @conradlee65 you retard. rockstar north are based in dundee

  • @conradlee65 The GTA developers are Scottish. Scotland is in the UK. Therefore, GTA is a British game. It was originally created by British people, just lie Little Big Planet and Fable.

    If you don't belive me look it up or search for machinima's Rockstar history videos.

  • @SpearMinti yes that what i have been saying the whole time

  • @sickspastic I'm American and I believe with you. I love the Fable series and it does not come even close to Oblivon. Fable is pretty epic. Lionhead is amazing. Bethesda? Not so much.

  • @sickspastic they have british reviewers on this and i no ALOTof them would not like this game

  • @sickspastic as an american i enjoy both games but Fable is mor immerssive where as oblivion however doesnt liimit where you can physically take your charachter and the xp system is a tad more ambient but it gets pretty boring and fallout that is a great game but can not really be compared to fable series dammn it Fable just has a certain charm and i like the gameplay i'll be playing Fable 3 late in to the night today

  • @sickspastic whats not to get about this game? theres not enough to do, its to short, and overall, its just not that good. dont get me wrong, i like the game (dont like oblivion or fallout 3) but before the game came out, they were all like "you can do anything! theres thousands of sidequests!" but no. huge letdown, not enough stuff to do, and just overall a big letdown.

  • @sickspastic dude, not all americans are unappreciable assholes. I'm american and this game is 10 times better than any Bethesda game

  • @sickspastic I definetly enjoyed this game (i'm Irish) but I still feel that Fallout is a game of much higher standard.

  • @sickspastic Way to start pointing fingers. Videos games are like books and movies, people like different types of them. Sure Oblivion, Fallout, and Fable are all RPGs but they are all different in many ways. Don't get me wrong I'm a pretty big fan of the Fable series, I've got all 3 games but the only reason I prefer Bethesda's games over Fable is because the world is just so much bigger and the characters you make can be so different. Fable is fun but doesnt have the longevity of oblivion.

  • 2:27 bout sums up the game, and that should never be said of a rpg

  • you're american. ain't you :\

  • 0:30 the most overused scene in Fable 2 reviews ever

  • Fable 3 is gonna be something about the next king of Albion

  • wow this is a terrible video review. gamespot did a horrible job. i could've just watched a Fable 1 review and gotten the exact same description. IGN rapes this review. they actually review the sequel, not the theme.

  • any1 here you got to get this game and its coming from a ps3 owner, who's not biased

  • should i get this yes or no?

  • i liked it i think you should get it, just don't rush through it or you won't enjoy it as much

  • rent it

  • Yes.

  • i'm thinkin about buyin this game for my 360.. shuld i? i want anyone's opinion...

  • its free on live now don't buy it download it in the "games on demand" section

  • fable 2 is not free. that's chapter 1in the marketplace of 5 chapters. all u get is the childhood and bowerstone. after that u have to buy it. I TRIED IT.

  • sorry, I posted that when I was still downloading it I thought it would be the full thing T.T

  • This game reviewer is a pratt. Hes trying to make just the tiniest little thing sound really cool and Interesting. Try and understand this, how most people say, Halo2 and 3 didnt feel no-where near the same as Halo1 (Combat Evolved). Thats just how I compare Fable2 to Fable1. And If Fable3 is anything like this? I'll be going off the whole series.

  • yes i think fable 1 and 2 are about as good as each other (they are my 2 favourite games that are not online) 5/5 for both games

    cant wait till fable 3 (thats if they make it)

  • dont worry its been confirmed, even got a short USELESS trailer

  • The review looks like he touches children.

  • they better release fable 3 in like 2011 thats not 2 soon or even 2012 because 2010 is too soon

  • why if they can make it look good?? peter molyneux said that the team is focusing mainly on fable 3 for now till its ready

  • I don't know y people like this game.

    it's too short and the world is way too small and every looks the same.. running around the world i could just see lots of copy and past scenery....... fail.

    i will stick to my JRPGs :)

  • You like JRPGs... That's all I need to say.

  • whereas i disagree with you, i do love jrpgs as well

  • they need to come out with a new kotor :) thatd be sic for the new generation of consoles

  • Buy it THE BEST GAME I PLAYED!!!!

  • i searched "is fable 2 worth buying" n it gave me this .. so i ask the ppl that have already played it .. is it? i liked fable 1 but i dont feel like wasting my money on a game that i can beat in a day or 2 .. my fav games are halo 3 and oblivion .. so i like a wide assortment of games but should i buy or rent this ?

  • it suck its nothing like fable 1. i hated it i wish i never bought it.

  • thanks for the info, ive heard its a toss up .. i wish it was like fable 1 it woulda been kickass ill prob just rent it for a bit n give it up saves a lot of money lol

  • i would say yes it is a very long and possibly worth your money it's not as long and good as fallout 3 but i won't say it's bad. it's still a pretty bad ass game and not as mooshy as everyone says it is.

  • My favourite game and thats hard to get the title of because I'm a very retro gamer ;0

  • lol i figured if u were an avid rpg kinda gamer, oblivion would be top pick, at least it is for me

    and i really only play that and halo lol im a vary narrow minded gamer ... actually i just dont spend my money on games, i got a life to live lol

  • Actually, I kinda hate oblivion :P

  • lol why do u hate oblivion? from the sounds of it oblivion is a lot larger worldwide and story line wise .. u can customize urself more although u dont get "good" or "evil" but u can practically become anything u want

  • I mean to start no youtube fight, but if you havent played oblivion (I quote: "From the sounds of it")

    you shouldnt defend it. Videos and comments can make it feel great and just show the good parts, but let me tell you, they dont outweigh the bad parts. It kinda feel like a job, and this is my personal reason but I got kicked out of the Assassin guild (I know its called something else but I dont remember) and now this frickin ghost is killing me and I cant kill it...

  • i dont like oblivion because, its not friendly to new players, its too big, chars looks and talk the same, sometimes you play hours without acomplinesdh something, but i still like oblivion, but i never can play it out because its so big!! and not evryone is a nerd!

  • but thts the amazingness of oblivion lol, its meant to be huge and i fucked around for weeks before i started on the quest although, the higher level u r the higher levl ur opponents become, so the gates were a lot harder for me lol

    and it was just as fun fucn around then getting to the story

  • the scenery in oblivion is a lot more repetitive. there may be larger land mass, but i'd take quality over quantity. but..meh..you play halo. enough said.

  • my bro went evil and he fucked all the prossy lol

  • the only bad thing was the trail, it got on my nerves because most of the time was in a straight line and i didn't know which way to go and it would sometimes disappear all together.

    apart from that great game and the hero of skill, Reaver is such a twat!!!!!!!!

  • this game is amazing!

  • yes, it is my fav game ever

  • yeah it is so awesome

  • I think if Bethesda made this game it would be a lot better, if they made it like oblivion but with the whole evil or good thing, the thing i really dident like about fable 2 was the sparkely path thing, it felt really artificial, it felt like all you did was run along the path, i rember when i was like 11 i played fable 1 and loved it, it was soo fun, i hope fable 3 will be more like the first.

  • So your complaining about somthing you can easily turn off?

  • This looks interesting and love the look and setting (other than the cartoony character models). There are just little things that seem like they might get on my nerves. The way you interact w/ people seems weird and cartoonish. And the combat doesn't interest me all that much. I'm pretty iffy on whether I should buy this.

  • to me the game was very fun but not the story so much ..like the side things you can do in the game like buyin house and been a assassin and liveing caves killing cops and you can get H I V in the game by haveing sex ..to that was a funny part of the game..your person can be evil or good And you have a Dog as a pet to help you in the games you fight zombies and you can hunt for rare items buy weapons have a family or just kill them in there sleep but it is a very fun game to me

  • FALLOUT 3 OR THIS?

  • fallout 3 for sure. both are great, but fallout contains a far higher amount of immersion, and has even won the game of the year award from many websites such as IGN

  • Fallout 3 definentaly, so much replay values

  • There is only one bad thing about Fallout 3 that no one ever mentions and I dont know why! This is very crucial to budding gamers... (Now at 150 hours in game). Nothing is good enough after uve played FO3... Just like most people replied... It is hard to find the same immersion, diversity, choice and replay value in other games. It makes most of today's rpgs obsolete. Mmo's become pointless quest-giving grinds for example. U can never chose varied dialog options.. or ways to approach a quest...

  • i dunno why ppl are giving fable 2 such bad reviews and bad comments i love it. I havent played Fallout 3 but im gonna get it i say get both i dont think you will be disappionted :)
