Can't say that I am particularly interested in this one. The first one was a good, but not great, game. Suppose I'll see how the rest of the reviews fair.

Link ain't working for me!

What's it say?

The Official Xbox Mag gave it a 9.5. That's about it.

Hmm, are they to be trusted review wise? my gut says "not at all"

Vyse

Yeah, all it states is the first score and how the reviewer absolutely loved it. More reviews will probably start pouring out soon enough.

Can you trust the official mag? Not sure but the same logic could be applied to any website that is receiving sponsorship for game advertising (re: the comments section in eurogamers review of Saints Row 2).

Good point! the average score on Metacritic for Saints Row 2 is in the mid 80's tho, so i reckon that it's just a damn good game! (fingers crossed!)

I dont like to use reviews as a standing point for whether a game will be good or not! If your unsure rent it for a night. As for fable im going to buy the 1st one and if I like it ill get the 2nd one. This wont be for a few months after release theres already to many good games coming out!

Kiith

This is a definite buy the day it comes out, regardless of what the reviewers say.

cashville

the first game was great ! hope 2 lives up to expectation

chrislad

If the 2nd is as good as the first, it'll be great. This game is one I would get without reviews.

I've pre-ordered, got my free pub games, played them to unlock the 15 special items (only 2 left now) and will be picking this up 9.00 a.m. next Friday, if I've the day off?!

Absolutely hated the first one - the gameplay bored me to tears and those ****ing accents just did not sit well with me at all. There are just too many good games coming out to waste money on this so its a definite skip for me...

Helix

have it waiting for me at home, looking forward to getting stuck in

Played this last night and its ****ing brilliant, I loved every minute of it, easily will pick this up and play it, havent got lost in an RPG in ages, im due one!

Helix

only got to play about half an hour of it myself

do you not find it a bit easy tho dave? even playing it last night at the ms thing, it was very easy

Riesen_Meal

My mates giving me the full copy today, so ill have a proper look later on, your right it did seem easy but id say once your EXP goes up the enemies will get harder! (hopefully!)

Doesnt bother me really as the game has a lot of charm imo, seems fun and the consequences and the outcomes of the game seem really good......

Helix

you like it when you start playing it, i was too tired last night to play for much longer after i got home

danbhala

cool looking forward to this game! whats the release date?

next friday

Vyse

Well the Eurogamer review is up. 10/10. Wasn't expecting that.

Kennington

Day one purchase for me, I was deciding between this and Fallout 3, its gonna have to be Fable, although, if I have the money, I may get both!

ROC1977

I've been playing Fable 2 all week and its up there with Zelda. 9-10 to 10-10 for me. Really really good. Going to be giving GTA a run for the money for game of the year. I think its better than GTA but they are both so very different.
To add to that GOW2 is great too, much better than Gears 1. Way better in my eyes.

Yeah very surprising, they gave Far Cry 2 an 8, I'll be getting both on Friday.

Mr. K

I'm super excited about this, I kinda wish I'd played more Pub Games though! Still, maybe I'll play it before I start my second playthrough.

So, what sort of character will people have? I think my first will be evil.

Burning Eclipse

For those who've played it, how much does stuff cost? Like a house perhaps... I've won just over 100,000 gold in the pub games, legit I might add. Just wondering what this'll get me in game??

event

what are the pub games?

how are you guys playing them?

It's an XBLA game, 800 points, which it's not really worth, but more importantly, it was free from game if you pre-ordered Fable II, which I did. Also contains 15 unique items for the game too
