Fable 1 was an average RPG. It was hyped so much because of Molineux's promises that when it came reviewers thought they should give it a high-score for the effort.

 

On the contrary. Many reviewers marked Fable down for failing to meet their lofty expectations. Its aggregate review score would have been substantially higher were it not for the excessive hype that surrounded the title.

 

 

Not to get too involved in the fuss here but I have read at least one reviewers statement apologizing for his review of Fable and saying he got caught up in the hype. The game was extremely solid (I personally would have given it an 8) but at least some reviewers got caught up in the hype and over-rated it.

I have faith in Molyneux delivering a better sequel though - he ended up doing it with B&W2 being better than B&W.
