Muscles expand with each feat of strength. Force of will increases with each work of wit. Obesity follows gluttony, and skin tans with exposure to sunlight and bleaches bone-white by moonlight.

This is one of those games that I think even non-gamers should play at least once. The PC version is just like the Xbox version but with the ability to increase resolution to modern levels. While this in of itself doesn't make the game better but it does give it a shiny new look in contrast to the console version. I also find playing with a keyboard and mouse a little less cumbersome.

when the xbox first came out i was estatic but unfortunately i wasnt old enough to play this title yet. :/ and when i did get old i ended up buying a ps3 over a xbox 360 so i didnt play the sequels. still i never lost my curiousity for the series and now after all these years i decided to try the pc version.although the graphics are dated compared to what we play now, it does not change the fact that this game is AWESOME. typically i would only using my laptop for games like the sims series so it did take a while to get use to using a keyboard and mouse for a game like this. the game was harder for me to play using that control scheme and for those that are hesitant to try this game bc of that, should definitely consider downloading an emulator such as MotionJoy so that you can use a ps3 or xbox 360 controller to play this game. (the only con to this option is the time it takes to map the button to a configuration that works for you)other than that the story is rich and the combat is fun. the rpg elements make the games replay ability amazing. the only thing i do not care for is probably the map layout and the teleporting, but then again i am comparing it to games like fallout 3. the map layout for Fable the Lost Chapters to me is similar to kingdoms of amular: the reckoning. the good thing about the map tho is that it forces players to explore more.overall, awesome game. anyone that likes rpgs should like this game

This game, whenever I was able to play it, was always very good. Graphics are what you would expect from a game released in 2005, so if you bought it expecting it to look like Crysis.... you're an idiot.A note on compatability - If you have Win 7 or Vista, you are taking a gamble. I don't know about 8, assuming its not supported. In addition, it seems the game does have some issues working with modern hardware as well. For old rigs, however, it would be a perfect game due to optimization.Graphics - Like I said; 2005. About what you would expect. It has something of a cartoony style, but the atmosphere varies between dark and happy very easily, so its always appropriate.Audio - Reuses a lot of sound types, but the audio quality is good. The thwacking sound it uses for hitting can wear a bit, but most players are likely to have a fighting style that combines both melee and range (magic or archery) so its not a big issue. One thing I will comment on; I don't like the changes to Jack of Blades voice they did for the expansion. Should have left it alone. However, if they couldn't get the VA... they couldn't get the VA. Still, the ultra deep and and evil voice doesn't fit nearly as well as the original, though it seems in character for all the events of the expansion.Story - Most difficult to talk about without spoiling. First off; this combines the original and an expansion pack. So, you basically get two stories. They are, however, very well connected, with the expansion taking place after the first. This prevents continuity problems, as they didn't need to make sure everything was appropriate for every player and wouldn't overpower anyone or be useless or punch a hero sized hole in the plot. What I can say - while some plot elements are slightly cliched, it works with the setting. They don't hamfistedly shove in tropes, except for the purpose of the comedy (which, might I say, is british in nature, so if you're not used to british humour, it may seem strange), and those tend to be one off gags. If they fit in, however, and don't seem like they were forced, then Fable could very eaisly use them. And use them well; the concept of the Doomed Hometown is utilized in the beginning section, and even though veteran RPGers will see it coming a mile away, so will everyone else, thanks to your sister. And that's all I can say without spoilers.Gameplay (or, that thing you will be doing for the entirety of the time you play this) - Its a classless RPG. You know what that means; three archetypes, fighter mage thief, and you can develop your character however you wish. Its also leveless, which was a relatively new (outside of heavily niche and hardcore RPGs, anyway) concept. You don't levelup. You spend experience for specific powers and passive improvements. Four types of experience; general, strength, stealth, magic. You can spend general for everything, but the others can only be spent in specific trees. This means that you will probably develop one type of power as a primary, one as a secondary, and only touch the third on occassion or to fill it out if that's what you prefer to do.On the actual combat; all types of attack feel different. Heavy weapons don't feel like slightly slow light weapons. They feel like you're swinging around 35 pounds of iron, which you often are. Range and magic are very different, with Magic showing a preference for overpowered AOE and Range being able to deal massive damage to a single target. Melee is best used when augmented by one or the other, but specific leveling strategies make it an option, provided you put in some work. It actually operates like a close range variant of both Magic and Range; its very versatile like magic, and has the precision of range.Overall; IF IT WORKS FOR YOU (can't point that out strongly enough), this is a massively good purchase. However, you are taking a gamble.
