Fable has to be the best RPG to come along on the xbox since KOTOR. Fable excells at asking the central question, WHAT KIND OF HERO WILL YOU BE?
This game starts off really slow. Slower than a snails pace, but it picks up the more you start working on the quests in the game.
Personally, I started off with just a SpellSword character, looking for the best equipment and stuff. I was easily sucked in to this game. This game allows you to build your character just as you might want to build him. I love how you have to decide what kind of hero you will be. Do you want to be the bandit killing everyone and everything in sight? Do you want to be the wizard who rights the wrongs in the world? Its all your choice.
Fable is well worth its $50 price tag. It's also worth the 5 year wait that everyone suffered when it was first made public. A positive keeper.
