A Little Change Goes A Long Way by Disgruntled Dan


You might think that this game is just a bunch of standin' around but you'd be wrong.

Fable Lost Chapters.
I was a huge fan of the first fable game. It had great graphics, fun game play, and good controls. But not an original story. Well, that’s the first one. Now the second one isn’t a sequel -- its an expansion pack, so to speak.

Here’s what Microsoft has to say abou the game:

“In this groundbreaking role-playing adventure game from Lionhead Studios, your every action determines your character's skills, appearance and morality. Your character's life story is created from childhood through to adulthood and on to old age. Grow from an inexperienced child into the most powerful being in the world, spoken of by all and immortalized in legend.

As additional story and side quests await, choose the path of righteousness, or dedicate your life to evil, and see yourself transform into a reflection of your actions and decisions. Age leaves you wizened and battle leaves you scarred as you explore the world of Albion and the plethora of expanded and enhanced content.

With experience comes advancement and physical change, whether it be expanding muscles, a keen eye and nimble form, or the buzz of magical energies around your finger tips. As you develop your alter ego, the world reacts to you and your actions. People comment on your successes and failures, your appearance, and your behavior.”

With new weapons, armor, and quests, it’s worth getting for either the PC or Xbox. I was disappointed about how not much changed on the Xbox version, but it was worth the 20 bucks I paid for it. Although I never got around to finishing it until now ‘cause my friend gave me World of Warcraft which I immediately was sucked into. But my final score for Fable Lost Chapters is a stunning 8/10.
