Fable 2
See spot, see spot run, see spot rip a bandit to pieces. Welcome to the world of Peter Molyneux’s Fable 2. Fable 2 corrects everything that was wrong with the first installment by tweaking, no wait did I say tweaking more like a face lift with a tummy tuck and a side of liposuction sprinkled in. It is everything the first was intended to be but wasn’t. The world is larger than the first, character development has been updated, interactions with the other character’s in the world are done with a lot more ease. The A.I. is nothing to laugh at (it made me feel dim at times). The inclusion of a gold looter’s best friend (your dog) is a first for the series which is a welcomed change of pace considering the size of the new Albion. Treat your dog well, he’ll love you mistreat him and… he’ll still love you aren’t virtual dogs great? Due to the fact that the world is so gi-normous the developers have included a nifty tool in the form of golden bread crumbs (minus Hansel and Gretel) to lead you toward your next quest.
There are lots more games to play and jobs to do to earn you money, and more titles to earn for all of your hard earned accomplishments. Become a vagabond, a family man, a noble warrior or my personal favorite a wretched scoundrel. The player is not limited to sticking to a script, don’t want to save the town from bandits right now then don’t, you can always come back to it later. Spending money in a town will increase the town’s status and wealth while pillaging and plundering will drop the value of goods and services.
Marriage also has it’s up’s and down’s (hey is this life imitating art or vice versa?). It’s fun to seduce a man’s wife to hear him say “hey what do you think you’re doing to my wife?” (Do not attempt this in real life though). If you don’t want a family use condoms, (career or family life, career or family life it’s so difficult). If your wife does leave you because of your adventuring ways however at least you don’t have to give her half your loot. The combat system is a lot richer and extensive and you can use your sword then go for the kill with magic on the fly. The alignment system is more complex than just good or evil. Your expressions will determine how you are favored by the townsfolk. For some of us this might be the only time in our life someone asks us for our autograph. 
Everything is for sale in Albion you can be the Donald Trump of Albion if your cash flow let’s you, be careful though if you are a slumlord and charge more than your tenant can afford this will effect your moral alignment, the foods you eat will also have that effect. While the game is not a perfect game due to some camera and control issues they are not distracting enough to render the game unplayable in this reviewers opinion. So hear yea! hear yea! Run and get this game today if you haven’t already, you will not be disappointed.
