James Mielke
October 23, 2008 - Excellent - As it is, it's still the best RPG on the 360. It's a series worth evolving and expanding. Fable 2 is filled with more great ideas than the last 10 years of Final Fantasy combined.
Christian Donlan
October 20, 2008 - Excellent - Inclusive and often thought-provoking, this is a daring portrait of a game-world with all the failure cut out, and it's hard not to love a game that loves you so much in return. Fable II will charm you, thrill you, and leave you very, very happy.
Robert Workman
October 21, 2008 - Excellent - Fable II is a remarkable sequel and a wonderful role-playing romp that fans will appreciate, one with a splendid presentation and the freedom of choice. It's the kind of story you'll wish never ends.
Gerald Villoria
October 20, 2008 - Excellent - We thoroughly enjoyed Fable II, and heartily recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good role-playing game.
Matthew Castle
October 20, 2008 - Excellent - Some may attack Fable for its chugsome scene-changing. But with Fable II being the laugh-maker that it is, for tackling fantasy in a refreshing manner and for nearly pulling off its dazzling experiment in character creation, we say give it some slack.
Tom Orry
October 20, 2008 - Excellent - Fable II is different. It's a game that makes you think about what you're doing. It hasn't perfected the RPG, and in truth isn't close to doing so, but it's a massive step in the right direction and a beautiful game to boot.
Tom Mc Shea
October 20, 2008 - Good - In a game about choices, the wisest one you can make is to play the game. After spending a few hours in Albion, you won't want to do anything else.
October 20, 2008 - Good - [Fable II is] a more refined version of the original that still hasn't lost all its warts, but it manages to channel many separate ideas into one enjoyable whole.
Vinny Caravella
October 21, 2008 - Good - While there are definitely some issues with the user interface and the occasional NPC freak-out, they are easy to stagger past whilst getting drunk on the fanciful world of Albion.
October 20, 2008 - Good - Fable II has a great combat system, some excellent atmosphere, a smart experience system, and lots to do. It's only when you start exploring the social aspects that things take a downturn.
Kaitlyn Chantry
November 12, 2008 - Mediocre - Despite some ingenuity and artistry, the carelessness of Fable II's execution is an insult to what it could have been.
