DESCRIPTION:

Fans new and returning will now embark on an epic adventure, where the race for the crown is only the beginning of your spectacular journey. Five decades have passed since the events of "Fable II," and Albion has matured into an industrial revolution, but the fate of the kingdom is at peril. In "Fable III," you will be called upon to rally and fight alongside your people, ascend to the seat of power, and experience the true meaning of love and loss. The choices and sacrifices you make while fanning the flames of revolution, and then as you rule as King or Queen or Albion, will lead to an ever evolving world of consequences that will be felt across your entire land. This sets the stage for unparalleled action and adventure that offers even more ways to fight and engage than ever before. Throughout your journey, you will encounter a colorful cast of characters that fans have come to expect from the off-beat style and humor in the “Fable” games. After determining whether these characters are your friends or foes, you will either join them or fight against them in explosive combat, alone or with a friend on Xbox LIVE. In your quest to plant the seeds of revolution, seize power and rule over your kingdom, the choices you make will change the world around you, for the greater good or your own personal gain. Who will you become? A rebel without a cause, the tyrant you rebelled against, or the greatest ruler to ever live?

Fable III Review

by 941 days ago

The Fable series has been an entertaining one since the original game on the Xbox back in 2004, because it was a game all about choice. Choose between being Good, Evil, or somewhere between. Choose between how you deal death to your opponents. Choose who your significant other is out of the vast population, or not. Choose if a random villager dies by your blade, or not.

 

While Fable had a focused plot to follow in order to beat the game, being able to choose how you went about saving the world (or enslaving it) was up to you, and it’s what kept the game memorable. The sequel released in 2008 did the exact same thing, but expanded your options and moved development to the Xbox 360.

 

Now, two years later, Fable 3 has launched with much fanfare. Will it be the smash hit that Fable 2 was? As far as I’m concerned, all signs point to yes.

Overall, this is a game that’ll grab you and not let you go until you’ve finished it. There’s always a quest sitting in your journal, a citizen that needs to be talked to, money to be made, jobs to be run, buildings to repair, or any number of things to keep you playing.
