The new combat system lets you master different fighting styles.

You are free to roam the world of Albion any way you like. Every Choice Has Its Consequences
Fable 2 provides players with a truly immersive experience where a virtually limitless number of choices can be made, all of which have their own consequences, making each game unique. When you start the game, you choose either to play the role of a boy or girl, and depending on your choices, the hero will grow up to be tall or short, good or evil. Players can get married and have children; female player characters will become pregnant, which will then be reflected by their physical appearance.

Early in the game, players are presented with a stray dog for a best friend, who will need to be fed and loved, and will accompany the player throughout his or her life. Depending on the player, the dog will change appearance and assist him or her in various ways, such as alerting of impending dangers and attacking enemies.

Players inhabit the world of Albion and are free to roam the land to as they please. Players can use different expressions to communicate with others, such as taunting and laughing, and even belching or farting.

As the players grow, so does Albion, reflecting the choices that were made earlier in the game. Every house, hut, castle, and dungeon can be purchased if the player wishes. Players can buy up all the land in a town and can become mayor, king, and even emperor of the entire land.

Fable 2 presents a dynamic and free-roaming world that doesn't demand a player to take any one set path. At the same time, players seeking a plot line will find an epic story and quest that they can follow if they wish, along with many side adventures.

Fight Using Different Weapons and Magic
Fable 2 introduces a new combat system that allows for mastery of hand weapons, such as swords, long range weapons such as cross-bows and guns, and, of course, magic. Players improve at each discipline with time, and can combine different combat styles when they fight. Other advanced design features include tactical positional advantages that can bring new strategic elements into combat.

Bring Other Players into Your World
Fable 2 has a multiplayer mode that allows you to bring other players into your own world. Consistent with the rest of the game, the actions of these other players can be permanent and affect your world. You can explore and fight together with these other players, share treasures, and even fight each other.

Note: Fable 2 will not ship with Online Co-op mode. An update with this functionality is rumored to be released shortly after the launch of the game.

Xbox LIVE Arcade Mini-Games
Gamers can play minigames through Xbox LIVE Arcade and earn currency that can be used in Fable 2 to purchase weapons, armor, and other items for the hero.

Fable 2 is rated M for having mature content that may be suitable for persons ages 17 and older.


Depending on your choices, the protagonist can turn out wildly different -- male, female, good, evil, and more.

What Customers Say About Fable II:

They are mini-games that you have to time your button presses and it very and I mean VERY tedious. Like chopping wood or making swards. If you can get past this you'll love this game. I normally dont have the time to finish games like this all the way through but found myself coming back and back to keep going and not only finish it but go back and play it afterwards. The downloadable content I have not downloaded yet but I hear is a great value.I did not like the jobs that they have on the game to earn money.

Really enjoyed the ending. Very fun, light role playing / hack and slash game.

And one of the best things in this game that for me is important is a glowing trail that leads your character to their next quest, in other role playing games I always get lost in the huge environments and don't know where to go next and this solves that problem. So far I have finished the main storyline in the game an liked it. After you finish the main story there are still lots of quests to be done and download content if you are really into it.

Plot advances too quickly to really look for the best items in the game. Magic effects were better combined AOE/single foe targeting. A 2 augmented slot katana worked for me. Some of the side quests were fun.But compared to the first one it just does not add up. The mage on the other hand I found really cool. I didn't like the main story. I didn't like most of the characters (Hammer & the thief). The world is too mixed between modern age and medieval fantasy (swords and bows).The best "character" in the game is your dog.

Let's see your sister is killed in first scene (can't really get attached to her). They added jobs to the game bartender, woodcutter or blacksmith. A "boss" in the spire looks too much like a star wars rip off. There are better games to buy but this one will provide a few hours of fun. You can dye your items or hair to the look you want. You can train your dog with books to hunt for treasure. Too easy for people to fall in love with you.Although there were a lot of things that took away from the game there were some funs things to do. I mean there is not many things you do with them to really develop the characters enough to care about them or attach to them.

Your character can get really fat off eating a few meats or pies. The women in the game all look the same and very few are different like (Lady Grey). Redecorating houses is too limited. But he can get semi annoying when he finds something he barks and runs off.

The spell system is less user-friendly than in the original game. a fun game that gets a bit repetitive. Making money is very simple and the dog seems to provide little enhancement to the game.
