Fable is a ground-breaking role-playing adventure game from Peter Molyneux, in which your every action determines your skills, appearance, and reputation. Create your life story from childhood to death. Grow from an inexperienced adolescent into the most powerful being in the world. Choose the path of righteousness or dedicate your life to evil. The Longest journey always starts with one step. When your mother and sister are kidnapped, your first action is to travel across the magical land of Albion to find your father, the famed Hero. But soon you are plunged into a world of danger you couldn't possibly have imagined. A dark force is gathering. A power to bring evil to every town and village in Albion, and to destroy the fairytale lives of inhabitants. This evil force has turned the very Heroes into power-crazed, ruthless warriors. Only your father has resisted. That's why the fate of your family is now in your hands. Oh, and the fate of the entire world.
umm, this is a WHOLE game? First off, bieng a big elder scrolls ans KOTOR fan, I liked the vibe of this game, but..... I beat it in 14 hours. way too short. Thats what happens when you rush a game. Good, but not great.
Short and Boring The idea of Fable is a great one, total freedom to develop your character from childhood to adulthood in whatever way you want. You can make him a good guy, a bad guy, something inbetween, and can choose every aspect of his dress and appearance. THAT however, is where the innovation stops. Aside from character generation, Fable is a very bland and short RPG, the story is nothing to get excited about, and the gameplay itself is pretty standard fare. The graphics and music are nice, and the Japanese version can be set to total English, so no need to worry about language. But since the Japanese version is so expensive, I'd recommend the Asian version for any curious buyers.

Again, action RPG I thought Fable would be tottaly different from Sudeki. And it is, but both are action-RPGs with a lot of side-quests... Fable is more open-ended, with you doing what you really want to do, being good or bad, wearing what you want, choosing your wives, your houses, your appearence... In Fable, every game you play is different. This is quite nice, but the game is a little short...
