Xbox 360 User Reviews

Ich persönlich liebe Fable the journey, es ist mal was anderes als immer das selbe. Klar die meisten mögen es nicht weil es nunmal anders ist und viele die Steuerung bemängeln aber hat man sich so ein bissichen herrangetastet ist das Spiel mega!!

Um jogo divertido para passar horas jogando e se divertindo, conhecendo a história e a maneira certa de jogar na primeira vez jogando, para as próximas vezes, já se torna um ótimo jogo speedrun. Mesmo sofrendo muito com a limitação do Kinect 360, ainda é um excelente game dublado para nós brasileiros.

This game is something unique on the market. I must admit: the Kinect controls will be clunky and frustrating at times. My first 2 hours were very unsatisfying, but once I got the hand of how it worked, I loved it. The way you use your powers and add combos is something I've never seen on any game. Sure, I wouldn't want every game to be on rails and be played like that, but Fable: the Journey will be an experience I'll remember for good (and with pleasure).

Good, .

The game is very pleasant, beautiful graphics, interesting plot, control sensor kinekt give feel like a real hero. It has been two days, but after a while, he began to play the arcade mode, the purchase has not regretted.

Very average, could of been a lot better........................................ not impressed at all, probably worth it when it drops to about half it's current price.

Fable: The Journey could have been a return to greatness for Lionhead's signature franchise, but it simply isn't. The character development is good, even if Gabriel is annoying, and the story is interesting, but the gameplay has to be cooperative, in order for it to be a good game. It isn't. And that isn't Lionhead's fault. This game could have been great, but the Kinect holds it back. Fable: The Journey's controls are unresponsive, half of the time, but when they work, they're boring. I must have been ambushed by hobbes half a dozen times throughout this game, and that's 4 too many. The enemies are not diverse, nor is the world that you have to stare at during the 12 hours that you'll spend riding on a horse. The emotional bond between the player and the horse is non-existent the whole way through, despite the fact that Peter Molyneux promised that we would care about it. In conclusion, the game's interesting story and characters are held back by the either unresponsive or boring gameplay.

Don't believe what people write here. Most of them haven't even played the game they are just that it is on Kinect. The game is actually really good. Its a throwback to the arcane shooters of old. the motion controls are nice and not to frustrating and give a good change of pace to the usual controller standard. Give the game a go. The voiceacting, world and humour is all up to par. Besides its only like 20 dollars in a bargain bin now.

Come on guys, you can clearly see it is the failure in this franchise. Fable 3 sold ~4m copies... fable 2 sold +3m copies... only on xbox, they were ported to pc as well witch sale numbers are not included in the numbers above. Fable the journey sold almost 200.000 copies on xbox and was not ported to any other platform. That is a huge failure in my book.

Fable: The Journey, is the most underrated game of of the past year. It has an amazing plot, a unique combat system, and extremely lovable characters. In short, it is everything I wanted from Fable 3 (but didn't get). While it does suffer from some Kinect motion sensing flaws, you can overcome these by taking a little extra time to tune your play environment. I used a chair instead of sitting on my couch and the controls worked perfectly fine (most of the time). This is a game no hardcore gamer should miss.

I think this game is quite fun and **** storyline is still very amazing and the graphics are **** best thing is about kinect, it's the first game where you can use it, the detection and working of kinect in this game is very good i could **** bad thing is there is no free roam, but in the spite of that we have optional quest which saves it. The quest are short and fun. So that why i called this game "been there, done that". If you could think that riding on a horse is quite booring there isn't the character around you tells story, you collect many orbs with which you can upgrade your level and when you think that you will go into booring at the same time some guys show up and attack your **** overall i give it 10 especially for the nice kinect optimization, interesting storyline, and new gameplay.

While I was not expecting much out of this game when I bought it (I only bought it cause it was on sale for $15 dollars on black Friday) I was pleasantly surprised. Once you get the hang of the controls, they actually work very well if the environment is set up correctly, and if you ever start having issues it is easy to fix by simply re-calibrating the spell casting, which only takes a few minutes. At first, the spell casting is simple and enemies are easy to kill, however as the game goes on the combat gets much more complex and interesting due to the addition of new spells and enemies. When it comes to the story, I was also pleasantly surprised. It has to be noted however, it IS different than any other Fable game, so if you go in thinking you are going to have the same experience you will be disappointed. However, if you go in with an open mind and look at it as something different, it is quite enjoyable. The game is on rails, but at this point with Kinect games that has become unavoidable so I don't really knock it for that aspect. In actuality, the on rails and very linear approach actual aids the games story, because since it is on rails, the story has much more depth than previous installments. In addition, it fills in a lot of the holes between the previous games in the series, and give much more insight into Theresa and her story. In conclusion, as long as you go into the game without the expectation that it will be like every other Fable game, it is actually a very enjoyable experience. The controls mostly work well, and the few issues are not any big problem, and the story, however linear and on rails it is, is enticing and makes me want more Fable.

Since I did not have a Kinect before I purchased this game, I wanted to be sure that the game was worth the 100$ for the apparatus itself (plus the 30$ for the game). I love all the Fable titles, but considering that this game is a Kinect exclusive, I did research before investing. I watched about 45 mins of gameplay and decided I would take the plunge. I was absolutely not disappointed. No, this is not a typical Fable game. Yes, you can only play as a mage. No, there are no towns or open-world quests. Yes, there are RPG elements with regard to upgrading your horse's abilities, your spells, and your stats. Yes, certain segments of the game are on a rail, but this game- not once- is ever tedious or boring. The storytelling is fabulous and links all the previous games to make what really is a 15-hour epilogue of the entire trilogy, at the end of which you feel as though you have really accomplished something. The attachment you gain with your horse, the new parts of Albion, and all the characters in the game in general are as irreplaceable as the gameplay. I didn't think I was going to do well at the no-controller controls, but after about 20 mins of driving the cart and learning how to use the spells, I was enjoying myself immensely. Was the game worth the 130$ I paid to play it (without giving away spoilers)? Absolutely, especially when you consider how many games there are that are 80$ asking price for about 1/4th of the fun. Is it challenging? Yes, it is, and not in a frustrating way. Would I recommend it for people who don't like motion games? Yes, I would. Would I recommend it to Fable fans? Yes, I do, but don't expect another Fable 3; expect a different style game that simply takes place in Albion and cleans up all the questions left over from the third game. I also enjoyed the tie-ins with Fable Heroes, which only added to the game's charms and replayability. Arcade Mode makes sure you get that exploration craving squelched, and all the new spells and aftertouches, the humorous dialogue, and unique setting serve to fill up the blank in RPGs around this year. If there were such a category as rail-RPG, this would certainly be the pinnacle. I can understand why many would not want to buy a Kinect just for this- it is expensive, and for those who cannot make the investment, I hope there will be a compatible version soon (even I would want that just to see how the gameplay would differ), but I found the venture more than worth it. Overall, a really satisfying and unique experience. The best game for the Kinect, to be sure.

i am big fable fan when i saw this game i said cool but then they made it as kinect feature i said why? then when saw demo i was fully pissed off the best game series from 1 and 2 best ones then when 4th one came out it was even worst it make 3rd game better. my nephew said it very boring repetitive not very move able with kincect feature

Fascinating, humorous, it frees the magic that lies in your hands! If you like what your Kinect cab do, you'll love it. Play an RPG, FPS with your hands, being a spell-caster. Scenario is strong, graphics and music even better. Would love an inventory though and shops to buy armor. Moreover, why not have the freedom to choose your own path in the game, or feel the excitement of being good or bad. I liked it, as it made me travel in my dreams of being a powerful mage!

I was sceptic at first, but when I learned that I could physically cast magic at enemies I felt I really had to give a go -- and it turned out that it really worked for me and I found myself enjoying it very much!! This seated play also is a great thing... Most of the other Kinect games require me a huge effort to stand up and work out, which has been a turn-off for me especially after coming back from work exhausted. But I can play this game while sitting and relaxed and I can play for long without being covered with sweat like other Kinect games! The game experience is nicely and gently presented and works as a whole, unlike a collection of mini games that other Kinect games tend to be. If you've already own Kinect like me, I would definitely recommend this game. Even you don't, I would still recommend it :) It is quite an experience.

When Fable: The Journey was first announced I knew it would fail. Peter told us exactly "It's not on rails", well guess what? It is. Fable continues to slowly die out though to the changes it's over going year after year. The graphics are nice but what's the point when you can't stop to enjoy some of the breath taking environments? This game locks in for a boring ride unlike the previous two games. It's time Fable lived up to it's name and actually became one, because this is one you'll want to forget.

This is the most fun I've had with a Kinect game period! Playing the entire game seated was a pleasure and a stroke of genius so well done Lionhead for pushing the boundaries. I'm a big FAble fan and the story kept me gripped to my TV and with great pace of play. If you don't have the Kinect you're really missing out on a brilliant game experience!

AWFUL GAME! microsoft is basically scamming people here... this is unplayable fable 3 was ok, not as good as 2 but this is awfullllllllllllllllllllll

Definitely the best Kinect game I

The fanboys can't even defend this one. It is complete and utter **** And if anyone cares about Fable, they won't argue about that. I love seeing people try to turn this into something it's not and make excuses for it existing. Kinect is a bad, overpriced tech demo and this game is just another example(as if Star Wars Kinect and Steel Battalion weren't enough) as to why Kinect doesn't work and how motion control based games aren't good with the current tech. Don't buy into this trash. RIP Fable
