+ Great artstyle, gives the game a storybook vibe.
+ Good diversity in the characters you encounter. Good voice acting.
+ Probably the best pause menu music ever in a video game. Overall the soundtrack is pretty good.

- Combat is a joke. You are also given so many experience points that the only way to make combat challenging is to refrain from spending them.
- Extremely linear. You're basically forced to use that glowing trail to determine where to go next.
- Social interactions are broken ; you can spam the same emote over and over to get what you want most of the time.
- Main story is quite short.

I agree the most with these Pros and Cons. I had the Limited Edition Fable II because i was such a huge fan of Fable I, i loved it, and had alot of replay value with it for about 3 years, so i had high hopes for Fable II, but man what a let down, poor execution of gameplay, boring, and linear, there was no choice to be made as the first game, and the dog was an annoyance than a faithful companion - limited interaction with it also. Slow buggy menus, mindless NPC's, and glitchy gameplay/graphics. In the clothing screen for the female hero, she's tilting to one side, like hunched over sideways...so annoying. Limited interaction with others, and a boring/buggy expression wheel. My biggest let down EVER in a videogame, and a series i want now to die off. If i play Fable III, it'll be someone else's and mainly for the acheivements, but i'm going into the 3rd with no enthusiasm, maybe then...the game will be decent.
