One of my favorite games of 2004 was Fable, its pretty short but really addicting. The graphics are off the chart and the weather effects are impressive. The game is kinda like Ninja Gaiden but easier. The ability to get hair styles and tattoos and riduculessly well made suits just blowes me away. Another thing that is kinda sad is the fact that you grow up to fast. Fable's world is awesome and some memorable places. Once i beat the final boss i was sad because i didn't get the sword that was planted into stone like Ocarina Of Time but just as i was about to close my Xbox after the credits... poof!.. the game continues! and it never ends. I was so happy and today, i have done all sub quests but i still haven't found more than 14 keys and the big treasure. My main character is now 64 years old and my ultimate goal is still to be found. Oh yea, i forgot to mention that in the game you get to choose between good and evil and that many magic spells await you for some serious bloodshed.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
For 15 hours of pure joy... no one can pass this up and even thought i beat the game at around 16 hours, today i'm 23 hours in still looking for keys and the treasure. This is Xbox's Zelda no doubt about it.
