Fable II is everything Molyneux promised the first time around. It's funny, deep, emotional, epic, and, yes, wildly charming. We are already eager for a second playthrough, and we're betting a lot of you will have exactly the same reaction. [Dec 2008, p.68]

It’s a game that builds gradually and then becomes irresistible, a beautiful lump of an RPG that continues beyond the close of its main campaign, and will have you thinking about it when you’re not at your 360. [Dec 2008, p.79]

The combat handles well, it’s visually stunning, the voice acting and musical score are brilliant, and the epic storyline doesn’t end before it begins (like the first game did). But the most appealing thing about it is that it delivers everything that Molyneux has promised, plus it is oozing with wit and charm - something sorely lacking from many games nowadays. At the end of the day, Fable II is a triumph and a must buy.

7.5/10。20 hr。遊戲可前往的地區與場景非常豐富，每張圖變得遼闊且豐富，遠比一代狹小的城鎮與地圖，遼闊非常多。城市也更熱鬧，房地產系統成熟，有錢就能買，城堡、商店、攤位、住宅都能買，自由度非常高，可以出租收錢。不過，主線劇情薄弱，戰鬥重複感很高，敵人種類重複，結局很趕工，甚至沒有大魔王的戰鬥就結束了。銀寶箱都是給垃圾，探索的回報非常差。魔法簡化非常多，操作退化，不能自由施放不同魔法，連擊、狂暴都沒了 有玩一、三就缺二代。遊戲世界場景打造得精美廣大，遠比一代博大精深。房地產系統首次導入，不用像一代屠村空屋收購。不過後期的主線故事草草完結，很大敗筆。銀寶箱是三款遊戲裡最差的，探索與解任務報酬遠遠比不上買賣武器價差賺錢後，橫掃商店購買所有想要的東西。支線重複用主線的迷宮，怪物種類也少，重複用，甚至用換皮暗影怪偷懶，缺乏強大厲害的boss

It's a very unique RPG that has a good blend of casual game with jobs and a economy system to really make gold and the story is very engaging with story decisions being very critical on how you play your game with every decision mattering. It's a great game and I love it

You see, the best thing about Fable II is the stories you will have to tell, whether they are of love, money, murder or sacrifice. And every hero's is different.

This is an engrossing, attractive, dramatic, and entertaining game and one that you simply shouldn't miss.

An exceptionally solid action role-playing game, with an immense, immersive world. The new features, including the dog as a helper, and the breadcrumb trail as a guide, have worked excellently. This time, Peter Molyneux has made a game that lives up to its hype. One of the real must-have titles on the Xbox 360.

Fable 2 offers a experience with a reasonable durability and a good sense of humour. If you like the genre or if you are just starting in this kind of game, Fable 2 is a solid offer.

There's some innovation in the cooperative play and some interesting moments of aesthetics, storytelling, and decision-making; but for a game that plays like an RPG, there is surprisingly little sophistication in the implementation of character development, inventory, and NPC interactions.

Fable II is an enjoyable and charming RPG that delivers a lighthearted and accessible fantasy adventure. It improves on many aspects of the original game, with a larger world, better combat mechanics, and a stronger sense of choice and **** game’s whimsical tone, British humor, and moral choices give it a distinct personality that sets it apart from other RPGs. Interacting with villagers, building relationships, buying property, and customizing your character’s appearance and alignment all add to the fun.Combat is simple but satisfying, with melee, ranged, and magic blending together nicely. The world of Albion is colorful and fun to explore, though it lacks the depth and complexity found in other RPGs of the time.While the game has its memorable moments, some mechanics feel a bit shallow, and the main story is relatively short and not especially gripping.Fable II is a good time—quirky, easygoing, and fun—but not quite a top-tier RPG.7/10

Can't believe this gets 89 on metacritic. This is a 7 out of 10 at best. Not that different from fable 1. Best thing about it is the humour. Really silly when a far better game like dragons dogma only gets 75. Some of these reviewers really do boost the so called AAA titles. Sad times.

If you're a fan of JRPG this isn't the game for you. Storyline is very thin, combat is very simplistic. I really tried to like this game but it's become one of those games I will never finish cause I find it's a waste of my time. Also the framerate at some area's is very low and that doesn't improve the feeling of the game either.
SummarySet 500 years after the original, Fable II provides gamers with an epic story and innovative real-time gameplay, including a massive amount of freedom and choice to explore a vast collection of dungeons, catacombs and caves in the world of Albion. Fable II expands upon the scope and depth of the Xbox classic by adding incredible new feat... Read More
