Well i picked it up at my local gamestop at the 12 opening. There were a good 40 people their!! And when i got home i had 6 friends online, and all of them were playing fable 2!! I think its goina have 1.2mil sales first week.
Right now i'm about 6 hours into the game right now (taking a break to let my friend play it).
Graphics: I'm honestly a little dissapointed with the graphics (of course i only have an sd tv, not an hd, and that might be my problem). they are not as good as i thought they would be...but they get the job done, and do have the occasional wow moment. Lighting is pretty good.
Music: The music is just great, totally original, and doesn't get old.
Voicework: For the most part the voice work is pretty damn good. Lots of different voices. The npc's can get repetitive with what they say once in a while, but that is a problem with most rpg's.
Controls: The control scheme works almost perfectly, easy to figure out and get the hang of. I like how you don't have a mana bar and have unlimited ammo and magic power, works good for this game.
Camera: The camera can be kinda sketchy, especially during combat, its easy to get caught on fences, walls, ect. But you probably won't notice it most of the time.
Gameplay: The gameplay is great, theirs so much to do in this game, quests, jobs, family, opening shops, its just about like real life (lol, you can get STD's by having unprotected sex!!). The dog is a great replacement for the mini-map and is just a fun companion in the game.
Coop: I'm not goina lie local coop just sucks, you can't go to far from each other, and it just takes away from the fun you could be having. As for Xbox Live coop i haven't tried, i just hope its better than local coop.
Fable 2 is one of the funnest games iv'e played in a long time. It has a great replay value because of the many different choices you can make that affects the world. It has minor annoyances, but you really won't notice them too often becasue of the amount of fun you'll be having.
This is most likely goina be my rpg of the year. I'd give it a 9.25/10.
Discuss what you think about Fable 2.
