Video Game Reviews of Fable: The Lost Chapters
Customer Review: The Best computer game in the last 25 years
Summary: 5 Stars
When Fable came out I read a lot of postive reviews but never bothered to test it out. I had played a lot of these RPG games since Diablo I. They were getting better each year. Different styles, different features like in Dungeon seige or Lucas arts games.. These days most games just show off on the huge system requirements and have the same one or two tried and tested game formulas - like shoot em ups Quake types or Diablo type dungeon crawlers in 3D or 2D.
Just recently tried this game on a friends computer while eagerly awaiting for Fallout 3. And I am hooked. Now can patiently wait (for 2 or 3 years) till a Mac version of Fallout 3 comes out...jus kiddin'. This game has a mix of innovation in all aspects of game play - an easy to use attack system for those who like action, quests for those who like adventures, social games for those liking the "SIMS" type games, awesome soundtrack, great graphics effects. For example, when Elderscrolls on XBox came out, it initially looked great because of the vast expanse of the world within the game. But the ingame camera that tracked the character was very awkward to use and the combat system when fighting with swords had no way to direct a slash by changing the camera direction. Then Lucas arts came out with such a feature in their Jedi outcast. But then it missed the replay value of Elderscrolls. So all I am saying is there has never been a game that fulfilled all the great elements of gameplay till FABLE.
One can play the quests again and again using different weapons or combinations of spells and gain all the experience from an unfinished quest to try better weapon spell combinations. That feature alone contributes to the great replay value of this game. This feature was a wished for feature in other RPGs where if you loose a quest you would have to restart with all the stats set to the pre-quest values.
Couple of thing still sorely missed in all these RPG games is a weapon system that a user could design using items collected from all over. Augmentations for weapons are a good touch. But a range weapon that can be modified using different propellents, different types of triggers, and different types of payloads would have been nice... Even fallout 3 does not have a feature like this. May be in Fable 3... And an attack system in which keys that can be chained to create combination attacks like they had in that game called "Oni". May be the feature was ignored because there was no character like the "Monk" in Diablo in this game.
If you want a game or two (Fable 2) which will get you hooked to gaming, This is it.
Lets see if Fallout 3 or Diablo 3 can match the innovative features in this RPG
Five stars for this all time favorite computer game.
