Fable II Review

[IMSKINNY98]

The game was only $5 so i got it. Is it any good?

[drewbloo99]

Does this game also have free-roam after you beat it like Fable 3 does?

[Leonsprice]

@drewbloo99 yes

[LOLROTFHAHA]

Just bought this game at gamestop today for $3! WIN!

[XBLSmackithTheDown]

@LOLROTFHAHA Going to do the same soon.. Best deal ever. lmao I love consoles towards the end of their life span :)

[Adredinna]

IGN are you serious? I have watched all of your fable reviews and you really suck at reviewing fable the lost chapters was the best xbox game ever and ahead of its time but fable 2 was almost as good as fable 1 . fable 3 sucked monkey balls i felt like if the creators of fable got butt fucked by a monkey while they were making fable 3 . i wish they would have stopped at fable 2 and i know a lot of people share my thought so IGN just die. all your reviews suck

[MisterBobs7]

Amazing.

[flamesdemon19]

Fable 2 was amazing.It was shorter than Fable:TLC9which is the most amazing Fable game yet),but your choices matter more than any other Fable game before or after.Each of your actions affect you and the world around you.For example,marry two women and you might get blackmailed.Assist the temple of shadows and you destroy a peacefull region.Even as a kid,if you give the arrest warrants to the criminals,you turn what could be a beautiful neighbourhood,into a massive shithole.I love Fable 2...

[Splashy151]

Lol IGN, what are you thinking? :D

Comparing Mass Effect (the fist one) to Fable II, unfair advantage cause Mass Effect Rapes every RPG.

Don't believe me? watch "Mass Effect IGN review".

/watch?v=zIFojY2Ceow <- If you're too lazy ;)

I still love Fable 2 though! :D

[natedadrake]

@Splashy151 The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim rapes the entire Mass Effect series.

[Splashy151]

@natedadrake I have both man Mass Effect beats skyrim by heaps, Skyrim is very unfocused in most of its areas, and therefor loses depth, it just has alot of stuff it's not actually deep.

[wubwubwubwub4867]

Just got it for £2.98 in GAME :D :D

[TheNinjaStealth]

In my opinion fable 2 is the best fable game, but thats just me.

[haydenjurko]

@TheNinjaStealth i think 2 is the most fun and has the best long term play value i could play it for hours

[911beats]

i hope fable 4 they bring back rock trolls and destry the fast travel map system and that piece of shit menu,

[Angryprometheus]

fable 2 was the best and here is why. 1There is a dog as your companion and emotional bond and changable collar, changable breed, name ,etc.

[Cosplayepisodestv]

I have this game and I hate it! The gameplay isn't good for me.

[Angryprometheus]

@Cosplayepisodestv wahhhh

[JonnyBoyGir4]

@Cosplayepisodestv its ok i forgive you for your incompetence 

[BenjaminDuncan2010]

my fav game

[SupremeNinjaGamers]

Love how he says "You may not even die once the entire time during the game"

Uhh.. dude you can't even die... LOL

[Dson105]

fable=waste of my money took a shit on it

fable 2= awesome why didnt the make fable like this?

fable 3= oh my god this is awesome!

[UnivingIshiro]

Fable 1 = Epic Game

Fable 2 = It maintained the epicness

Fable 3 = Wha...?

Fable the journey = What are they smoking?

[thelawley1]

i love fable 2 more than fable 3

[KWelch60]

Fable TLC, 2, & 3 ARE ALL MIND BLOWING.

I Love The Fable Series!

[gutar5675]

i love all three of them idk why everyone hates fable 3 it was fuckn awesome im not so sure about fable journey tho lol but they all were good

[tachikoma747]

@gutar5675 I agree I don't understand all the hate towards Fable III. All I hear is skyrim skyrim skyrim. I'm actually playing Fable II right now while I take a skyrim break.

[tangypresman]

I kind of want fable but I am in the middle of oblivion :) but I will get it soon. :)

[Martyn6452]

I loved all the Fable games and I hope the new one doesn't ruin it. i want Jack of Blades back

[gummystar45]

fable 2 was amazing, i just wish the creators stop being lazy with a short story line and a crap ending. fable 1 i didnt play so i dont really know. fable 3 was a letdown.

[ViperNeck]

0:32 IT'S THE HALO SWORD!!!!

[leo123111]

@ViperNeck it looks like it has dif handle other than dat word

[thelawley1]

@ViperNeck yeh its a legendary sword

[suns747]

@TheLoJack8 no batman is going 2 win game ofthe year

[TheAngryAmericanwon]

there is a chest in the game where it say go to fable 2 (dot) come, so I went there and shows me nothing to open up the chest? does anyone know??

[stevespepper]

i LOVE fable 2 but did not like the first or third one.

[666spacecowboy666]

i didnt know jonah hill worked for ign

[angjoe1]

I used to play this when I was younger and never finished the first one. -.- Now I really want to buy an xbox just so I can play fable again. :) hope it is worth every penny of mine.

[getbuttkik]

@angjoe1 nope its not. Fable series took the wrong turn. Went from great to wtf this shit is mediocre

[gravendanger]

Is it a 12+

[PeanutButerJellyTim1]

Looks slow boring and not action packed

[HoLLiNs859]

His name is Hilary??

[willcraig118]

fucking yak cant say Albion right!!!

[Smileyboot]

How can you people complain so much about fable 3, THEY ARE HARDLY ANY DIFFERENT

[TheLojack8]

@Smileyboot kuz they arent fable 2 is fun fable 3 sucks

[a2r1v1i2s]

just bought this game for 5 bucks at gamestop. amazing. being a late adopter has it advantages I guess.

[miwolverine94]

@a2r1v1i2s I saw that the other day and was about to snag it, now i'm definitely gonna

[fandhstudios]

I have fable 2 but not one, and I think this game is good for thoose who don't have fable 1, but fable 3 sucks I have played it and well I shall stick with fable 2

[CarsonROCKSTV]

i on my opinion,fable 1 is the best because of the storyline. fable 2 is pretty epic.... but fable 3 sucks balls.

[generalreap0076]

ign: Fable 1 is crap

ign:Fable 2 meh its ok

ign: Fable 3 LOVE it

Communtiy: Fable best game ever released

Community: Fable 2 its pretty good

Community: Fable 3 piece of crap

Don't listen to the reviews. Listen to the community

[leaderofsithclan]

@generalreap0076 thats not true because ign gave fable 1 a 9.3/10. fable 2 was 8.8/10 and fable 3 was a 8.5/10

[FunAssFunProductions]

@generalreap0076 Listen to both.

[lquert]

@generalreap0076 so true

[MrApophis]

@generalreap0076 Fuck all of your opinions. Fable 1 is better than your games, that is until you've played through enough to do everything. Fable 2 isn't that amazing, the multiplayer refreshes it. Fable 3 is a failure to the game industry.

Fuck you all.

[tachikoma747]

@MrApophis I really enjoyed Fable III. mad?

[supertaco6]

@generalreap0076 At least they got fable 2 right... XD

[InvertEntertainment]

@generalreap0076 you need to READ the reviews... not that i buy into the "scores" but IGN gave Fable, 9.3 Fable 2, 8.8 and Fable 3, 8.3

[tachikoma747]

@generalreap0076 for once I actually agreed with IGN

[TheT3chFr3ak]

@generalreap0076 SO TRUE

[dill123z]

@generalreap0076 fable 3 was a great game

[Itsme4746]

@generalreap0076 they gave fable 1 9.3

fable 2 got 8.9

fable 3 got 8.5

do the the math man they agree with the community

[drewbloo99]

@generalreap0076 No...no...no... I think fable 3 is even better than the second. so. c;

[generalreap0076]

fucking ads

[97murfy]

Fable 2, I give it a 9/10

Fable 3, I give it a 5/10, if that.

here's hoping for fable 4 to be a 10/10.

[MrGalaxieProductions]

energy sword at 0.27

[barryh97]

Fable 3 is so bad i loved Fable 2

[Jryix]

why is he comparing this to oblivion and mass effect, the concept behind fable is far more light hearted then either of those the gameplay graphic style ect ect are all different they have similarities but they were never meant be be comapred agaisnt each other

now if he had compared it to fable 1 which he mentioned he has never played, makes no sense to hav ehim review it :D

[mattron574]

@finalfatasyfreak49 yeh i suppose

[mattron574]

@finalfatasyfreak49 yes it would be good but there wasnt any armour used in the time fable 2 is based on

[ArcticInfinity]

Just imagine if they put Fable 2 on PC instead of that piece of shit Fable 3. Vastly improved graphic polishes, fixed glitches, more updates, and an overall better RPG experience. Jesus Christ Lionhead WTF were you thinking with 3?

[SalvageB292]

Fable: Great game!

Fable 2: I see what you tried to do, but stick to the original concept.

Fable 3: What did I JUST say?!

[XD0777]

Fable is so boring compare to mass effect or the elder scrolls games

[TheArthragon]

@XD0777 elder scrolls sucks because its for rpg nerds! and mass effect is a sci fi action game -.- so brain on

[XD0777]

@TheArthragon fable is a pretty much rpg nerd game to

[TheBeesKnees691]

@TheArthragon You do realise all games are primarily made for nerds right? Gaming is basically a nerdy activity you fucking imbecile. Elder Scrolls was an amazing game, stop trying to make yourself sound cool, a game's a game. Who gives a shit if it's nerdy. Regardless I love Oblivion, all time favourite game and I aren't what you'd call a nerd. I don't wear glasses, I don't have acne or whatever. To even stereotype someone fir playing a game is just fucking stupid.

[TheArthragon]

@TheBeesKnees691 blablablabla -.- who cares?

[TheBeesKnees691]

@TheArthragon Blablabla, obviously you, else you wouldn't have bothered replying (probably would of been best seen as I had you pants down.) I find it quite entertaining how you try and make yourself out to be this ''cool kid'' by calling people nerds and saying who cares, really shows me you're a complete imbecile. And let's face it you're only saying who cares 'cause you've got the IQ of a rat and haven't got a constructive argument to reply with. Hahaha, fuck off.

[TheArthragon]

@TheBeesKnees691 sorry but i dont read your shit -.-

[TheBeesKnees691]

@TheArthragon It's 'cause you're just a cool kid then, yeah?

[TheArthragon]

@TheBeesKnees691 yes i´m almost 12 -.-

[TheBeesKnees691]

@TheArthragon So you're a cool kid 'cause you're nearly 12? Whatever dude.

[TheLojack8]

@TheArthragon no elder scrolls is a game for people who have good taste

and if u got skyrim when it comes out (11/11/11 YAY) you probably wouldnt stop playing it

[TheArthragon]

@TheLojack8 loooool i would never play this shit -.-

[TheLojack8]

@TheArthragon what skyrim of fable

cuz syrim is the best game of this year so far

[TheArthragon]

@TheLojack8 maybe its your opinion but in real it is definitely not the game of the year!

[bl0gwar]

@TheLojack8 10th of november here in AUS.

[JohnnyAragon89]

Ign

[JohnnyAragon89]

fuck you gin

[DarkReapersGrim]

The Fable franchise is such a let down, I kind of feel sorry for them. Fable is such a linear game, you go in order from point a to point b, you're not allowed to explore, you're limited in the kinds of actions your character can do, it's replay value is very low after you play it twice (good and evil). It's sad to see them being compared to Elder Scrolls.

[CarlosAvilla]

It's just different man, I know what ur saying, but Fable franchise has other appeals that are actually cool. It's like saying, "ultima online (idk if u played it) is awesome and final fantasy sucks"

Of course you can prefer the first or the second, but these games offer different things that appeal to different players.

[ClaysPlays]

im gettig a xbox360 2marrow and me and my brother are getting this and gears3

[shellnmize]

It doesn't matter if you get Fable 2 instead of Fable 1, because the second one has a different main character. However, they do mention the hero from Fable 1 in Fable 2. Also, IGN sucks. I watch their reviews just to see the tiny ass little things they pick out to rip on.

[monkeyreviews000]

@shellnmize I agree i  watched fable 3's review and they said that the voices talked over each other?WTF?! THEY GAVE IT A 8.6!? I think it deserves a 9.5

[ShyBoy6D9]

I haven't played any Fable games yet, but this seems to be the way decision-making should be done. I hate that 20-questions shit from Mass Effect and Dragon Age (not hating on the games themselves; just the decision-making mechanics). Might pick this up at GameStop for $5.

[metsuri18]

@ShyBoy6D9 Ok... So you like "press A be good" "press X be bad" Is that how real life decisions are done? Fable makes decisions easy. This is not how its supposed to be. Moral decisions should be HARD like they are in mass effect and dragon age. I always disliked 2 things in fable.. 1. Its too short 2. Decisions shouldnt be Good/Bad.. There should be compromises and more solutions to problems..

[ShyBoy6D9]

@metsuri18 Well first of all, why would I play a game for it to be just like real life? That's what people say is bad about sports games. It's nice when decisions are easily made, but that wasn't what I meant. I just don't like sitting there playing 20 questions. Throw in all the compromises and solutions you want, but I want to actively make the decision instead of cycling through them and saying "Oh, this one looks pretty good!" just for it to happen again and again for ten minutes or more.

[rockyheart609]

fable 2 was the first fable game i ever played. AND I FUCKING LIKE IT , then i bought fable TLC and i like it more ,but fable 3 fucked up every thing

[APolishGinger]

@rockyheart609 I thought Fable 3 was fine, and I had over 150 hours in TLC

[flamesdemon19]

I love the fable series...I loved Fable,then Fable 2 was awesome and exciting with all the new stuff and the dog and the story and all that and then fable 3 with all the things that brought you memories and the newer stuff and how you fight your brother and take over the kingdomn and then become a good king or a tyrant to fight the dark...So epic...I can't wait for Fable 4...Oh god I hope there is a Fable 4 coming out soon...

[Klemeron]

SPOILERS!!!

[sampe50]

Fable 2 was a SO much better experience than Fable 3. I was really dissapointed

[xXVXPLiCiTVXx]

they took out sub-aiming, customising magic meter thingy lol soooooo much customisation lost in fable 3

Fable 2 > Fable 3

[alikid123]

should i trade fable 3 for fable 2

[Jacke9779]

@alikid123 Oh yes!

[SuperOrangebird]

@alikid123

yes yes you should

[DeadlikeaPixel]

@alikid123 Yes. Fable 3 SUCKS ASS.

[TheDarkHadoken]

@alikid123 no,give it to me and i train you to be a ninja so you can steal all the games you want from gamestop without being caught

[topografer]

@alikid123 yes deffinitelly

[Windwakerzelda99]

@alikid123 YES.

[Elektro0Hexe]

@alikid123 get both. easy as that.

[61wombat]

@alikid123 Yes

[gamecool10]

@alikid123 no

[aczepllin]

@alikid123 at my local gamestore, it was 5 dollars so keep fable 3

[Saintbalor]

@alikid123 I'm sad to say.... you should...

[rosydonut]

@alikid123

Yes...

[nutcracker210]

I am thinking of getting fable 2 or 3 which one should I get?

[charliecylus]

@nutcracker210 2 is far better get it , it has a better map and bigger get it both of them are good but you should get fable 2 plus far cheaper

[Trollgamingnews]

2nd

1st

3rd

[grungemusic71]

Overall i think fable 2 was my least favorite fable game. It was still a very good game and had a AMAZING story i felt that i perferred overall gameplay in the original fable. Fable 3 is my second favorite bcuz even tho it still had fable 2 like combat, it was alot better graphic wise. But in the end Fable 1 is my favorite of all the Fables!

[Moosemaster329]

they should make it so u can choose a race of balverine/human kinda like skyrim

[Richaverezrocks]

@Megabigspence no sry the new one is but like the guy below me its shit

[kevindegraaf2]

this is my first ever xbox game i played and i had so much fun with it, one of the best games ive ever played. but the sequel was bullshit. got the achievements and sold it.

[Megabigspence]

im a ps3 owner/fanboy but i gotta say this game actually looks fun is it 4 pc?

[KentuckyKid220]

@Megabigspence Nope

[vidicct24]

The only thing I didn't like about fable 2 is how your appearance becomes after you become after you upgrade your physic all the way. ( I'm the kind of person who wants to look good)

[lsmatrix]

Question to anyone who has played fable 3, does it talk about other heroes? it would be cool if you could meet up with the other 3 heroes decendants and take over the kingdom.

[alikid123]

can some please tell me if i should get fable 2 or fable 3 ?

[inFINN1te]

@alikid123 get 2 if u like 2 ull like 3 theyre pretty close gameplay wise

[spasmann7]

[MrMrfazle]

one of the greatest exclusive games on the xbox 360

one of the greatest modern games in the top 100

[RestLessIP]

Is Fable II better than III ?

And, does choosing to help the bandits, influence the whole game ?

Or does it just change that particular city ?

Cheers

[RestLessIP]

@jkdoorbinnia Ahh okay haha, so it doesn't really matter ?

Or do I get different weapons and all if I play Dr. Evil than as the Good guy ?

[jkdoorbinnia]

@RestLessIP nah man it doesnt matter, its just that if ur evil there will be prositutes in the alleyways instead of travelling traders.

[RestLessIP]

@jkdoorbinnia Guess I'm gonna be evil then haha :P

[RestLessIP]

@jkdoorbinnia And, which is better to choose ? Or issn't it if I make it evil, I won't get certain items or anything ?

I just bought the game :P

[locutus9956]

@RestLessIP I dont think it's really better/worse either way its just different ways to play :)

[inFINN1te]

@RestLessIP i like 3 better than 2 but 2s still good if ur thinkin bout gettin one get 2 and if u like 2 then get 3 butt the lost chapterss is still the best

[smallkidsinvids]

thumbs up if your watching this with your head on you left hand

[TheDolphion]

What is the theme at the begining?

[Procaines]

2:21 Hey guys, how can I have the moustache, the blue mohawk and the suit? Thanks

[jkdoorbinnia]

if theres no final boss fight, thens what the point of levelling your guy up?

[deekante]

Am I the only one who thinks Peter Molyneux should be shot? Really,he just fucks everything up.

[jkdoorbinnia]

@deekante i know, he says he'll add onto the experience but half the time he never does it, and when he does do it its not even done properly like adding co-op in fable 2. It was there but but you had to choose a preset character model.

[pntball4life55]

Did they patch the co op thing looks. Please respond!!!!!

[DILLONSHWING]

@pntball4life55 Nope. They never did

[figgywurmack]

what the fuck does this new slider thing on youtube do?

[trooperman100]

You know what the funniest and most annoying moment was in Fable II? When your doing the nasty deed with you're wife and the town's citizens come in and all you hear in the background is " Atta boy" -__-

[Guitar4life97]

RPG's best to worst

fallout 3 - fallout new vegas - oblivion - fable II - fable III - mass effect II

[DILLONSHWING]

@Guitar4life97 Completely wrong...let me fix that for you.

Oblivion-Morrowind-Fallout New Vegas-Fable 1-Fallout 3.....

Thats my top 5

[RedNudidity]

@DILLONSHWING Anybody who says Oblivion is better than Morrowind is a complete moron.

[DILLONSHWING]

@RedNudidity Nope. Morrowind was my first Elder Scrolls game and I loved it and still do, but Oblivion pulled me in more. I know its the general consensus that "real" elder scrolls fans like Morrowind better but I prefer Oblivion.

[manmademonkey]

@DILLONSHWING Wrong again.

Morrowind - Fallout 1-3 - New Vegas - Oblivion

[AmadeusExcello]

@Guitar4life97 You're out of your damn mind.

[ivantheterrible60]

@Guitar4life97 i am not sure... mass efect 2 was epic in every sense but i love fable seris. fallout is one of the best game i have played but so is oblivion. it is to difficult for me to chose which one is better for me

[61wombat]

I thin k the reason i liked fable 2 more than fable 3 was because i actually did feel powerful at the end. Getting the legendary weapons was another thing in going out to find those and the gargoyles gave me a sense of completion that i could not find in fable 3 also i liked the menu system in this one more than fable 3 i just found fable 3's menu system annoying

[MMathelisa]

I see the music is still the same as in the original Fable. I like that.

[JackthehackAtack]

@gamerdude309 in the crazy place after the hero gets shot for a second time by whatshisface who killed the heros sister they have a house, hell their living on a farm with chikens! And so what if their related!? Thats no excuse for not having your own rooms...

[JackthehackAtack]

My one biggest question for fable 2 that I havent found an answer for (or at least I dont accept...) that one part where the hero gets a cap in his/her ass for a second time and ends up in lala land with his/her older sister...so the hero as a kid is like what, 10 maybe 9...the older sister is like 14,15, maybe 16...so why are they sharing a room together!? WTF IS GOING ON THERE!?

[gamerdude309]

@JackthehackAtack They're sharing rooms because they're homeless. Also, it's okay. They are BROTHER AND SISTER! They're related.

[gl9390Weezer]

i hate when ign cant find anything wrong with a game that they feel they need to make up some negatives about it anyways. something stupid like mw2 nothing wrong with the game so they said "oh it's an overdone genre, theres too many fps's out there" so wtf that has nothing to do with how good mw2 is

[hellomeo1]

This IGN review is retarded, Fable 2 was given the Game Of The Year award for 2009 so everybody just buy this fucking game it's awesome and gives u like 800 easy gamerscore because the achievements are cake

[Heistmnky]

Wow this looks so much better than Fable 3. Wish I had an Xbox. :(

[Narutofanatic15]

@Heistmnky it is

[SpectralRune]

lol im adding n00binthetube on xbox

[shadowkid1993]

i played this game for SOOOOOOO long!

then i got fable 3 completed it in a day and never looked back.

get this game instead

[Jebact]

i'm supprised you guys didn't compare this to mw2

[Number1FanProduction]

@Jebact why would they do that mw2 sucks so much. Halo is better for the following reasons: theres forge, you get to drive vehicles, not alot of hackers, make your own gametypes, drive flying vehicles, more teamwork, and you dont have to be a high level to obtain good weapons

[Jebact]

@Number1FanProduction dude, i love halo. lol.

i was only said that because i've seen so many ign reviews where they compare the game to mw2.

[Number1FanProduction]

@Jebact sorry dude i though you were one of those people who are obsess with mw2.

[CallOfDuty33333]

how do you make bowertone bad ive benn evil 3 times and helped out the bandits and it still looks nice

[rockyheart609]

i'll never forget how much i enjoyed this game <3
