Final Verdict

Fable: The Lost Chapters is worth picking up but it is not the second coming. A solid action-RPG with very good character development and a world that reacts to the player a bit like GTA: Vice City, it offers hours of solid entertainment. Most impressive is its mastery of combat, keeping it simple but engaging.


Where the game falls short is in not providing enough for the player to do, so its lack of depth becomes apparent. In the GTA titles the player was kept too busy to worry about the limitations of the world; in Fable there aren’t nearly as many options or missions. The storyline is also poorly crafted though engaging with its chilling touches of darkness.
