Product Description

Fable II is the highly anticipated sequel to the wildly successful original that sold more than three million copies, offering even more choices and building on the core gameplay theme of Fable, where your every decision continually defines who you become.

Amazon.com

Fable 2 is the anticipated sequel to the popular original that sold more than 3 million copies. Created by famed game designer Peter Molyneux, Fable 2 for Xbox 360 features an epic story that picks up 500 years after the first game. It offers an open world environment giving players a massive amount of freedom to explore and play as they please, with every decision made contributing to the game itself.

Every Choice Has Its Consequences
Fable 2 provides players with a truly immersive experience where a virtually limitless number of choices can be made, all of which have their own consequences, making each game unique. When you start the game, you choose either to play the role of a boy or girl, and depending on your choices, the hero will grow up to be tall or short, good or evil. Players can get married and have children; female player characters will become pregnant, which will then be reflected by their physical appearance.

Early in the game, players are presented with a stray dog for a best friend, who will need to be fed and loved, and will accompany the player throughout his or her life. Depending on the player, the dog will change appearance and assist him or her in various ways, such as alerting of impending dangers and attacking enemies.

Players inhabit the world of Albion and are free to roam the land to as they please. Players can use different expressions to communicate with others, such as taunting and laughing, and even belching or farting.

As the players grow, so does Albion, reflecting the choices that were made earlier in the game. Every house, hut, castle, and dungeon can be purchased if the player wishes. Players can buy up all the land in a town and can become mayor, king, and even emperor of the entire land.

Fable 2 presents a dynamic and free-roaming world that doesn't demand a player to take any one set path. At the same time, players seeking a plot line will find an epic story and quest that they can follow if they wish, along with many side adventures.

Fight Using Different Weapons and Magic
Fable 2 introduces a new combat system that allows for mastery of hand weapons, such as swords, long range weapons such as cross-bows and guns, and, of course, magic. Players improve at each discipline with time, and can combine different combat styles when they fight. Other advanced design features include tactical positional advantages that can bring new strategic elements into combat.

Bring Other Players into Your World
Fable 2 has a multiplayer mode that allows you to bring other players into your own world. Consistent with the rest of the game, the actions of these other players can be permanent and affect your world. You can explore and fight together with these other players, share treasures, and even fight each other.

Note: Fable 2 will not ship with Online Co-op mode. An update with this functionality is rumored to be released shortly after the launch of the game.

Xbox LIVE Arcade Mini-Games
Gamers can play minigames through Xbox LIVE Arcade and earn currency that can be used in Fable 2 to purchase weapons, armor, and other items for the hero.

Fable 2 is rated M for having mature content that may be suitable for persons ages 17 and older.

Depending on your choices, the protagonist can turn out wildly different -- male, female, good, evil, and more.

Amazing!

Fable II for those who don't know is an Xbox only open world RPG which sends the player through the beautiful peaceful yet corrupt kingdom of Albion.

For starts the Game play is very fluid yet youll have to get used to it.
unlike most RPG titles your character does not "level up" , but instead using another system of doing so.
after killing any kind of target victim in the game they will leave behind orbs of experience which you must accumulate by holding RT.
Experience is divided into four categories : Strength , General , Will , And Skill. Strength improves the usage of any melee weapon , Skill improves the usage of any range weapon , will improves use of magic , while general helps with all kinds of combat.
skill and strength experience is used to buy new kinds of talents for melee and ranged weapons while will XP will be used to buy new magic talents , any kind of talent has more than one level.
Combat being a big aspect of the game if your traveling is pretty simple and straight forward.
the X button stands as your melee attack which if mashed continuously your character will perform basic swinging attacks , The Y button stands as your ranged attack , Hold or press B to use Will (magic).

like most RPG games Fable will have a line of main quest along with many optional side quest.

one major aspect of fable is the simulation of true life in the game think "The Sims" meets W.O.W.
For starters your player has an expression wheel ranging from Social , Fun , Flirty (not available when interacting with children) , Scary , and insulting which will affect how people look at you make some hate you others love you , expressions can be used during any point of the game.

your character will also be able to become fat or stay physically fit by eating certain kinds of foods (Steak pies against tofu fish celery) being fat will make you appear ugly to most people making it harder for them to like you.

through use of the right expressions your character can fall in love with another one which you can marry and start a family...which will involve SEX pretty simple don't wear a condom you might get an std or get your wife pregnant so for the sake of my character i always use a condom.

lastly the graphics of this game have their own look almost makes you think of Shrek cgi while the graphics are very good they still have a less realistic cartoonish side that makes the game look awesome.

the world of Albion while very beautiful and rich..i never had the ambition to explore it freely as i would in fallout or elder scrolls

overall this game is well worth twenty dollars and is an awesome addition to anyones 360 collection I would highly recommend buying this whether or not you have or haven't played the first one.

P.S. hope i wasn't to boring!

Fable is meant to be fun, and its successor is moreso. There are MANY easter eggs buried in this game, including gargoyles that insult you like the French in Monty Python's Search For The Holy Grail. Good building fun, lots of places to visit, enemies respawn eventually so you can keep dealing with them and gaining experience. The scenery is fantastic. The loading screens are somewhat annoying, but once they complete, you can run around in a fairyland of brilliant colors and ruins overgrown with flowers and trees. This is the best of the Fable series for looks and gameplay. The sequels are famously awful, and Fable 3 won a Raspberry for Worst Video Game Sequel that year. But Fable 2 is excellent fun. No armor, no bow, and guns and swords all over the place, but the costumes are fun, particularly if the use the female hero: its 3rd person, you may as well stare at a hot girl swinging a sword and aiming a pistol like Lara Croft. There's also a lot of side quests worth doing, some repetitive, some with amusing conclusions. They don't raise much money, as that's best from Rent, but making money in the game is almost too easy. Focus on the travel and the swashbuckling. That's good fun. This is a video game that rarely takes itself too seriously beyond the major plot points. Its got many nods at Pratchett and Python and should be enjoyed with the same amused state of mind.

This video game is ridiculously epic. There are many options along the way to either do only the main story-line missions, or to venture out and gain more renown with side-story quests. The game play is great. Gaining experience points and points for "strength," "skill," and "will," allows you to advance your battling options for being a straight-up B.A. in fights. The spells you can cast with the "will" powers make you feel so heroic and legendary, like nothing can stand in your way. Because the game is a role-playing game, LionHead Studios hooked-up intense levels of interaction between your character and the other people in the game. Your actions predict not only how others will react to you, but also your appearance. If you are good and pure, you will remain handsome and beautiful. But if you choose to be evil and corrupt, you will gain horns and look something like the flip-side of the image on the cover of the game.
This game is top-notch, A-rated, a "platinum" experience for any gamer.

Todo llegó en perfectas condiciones, solo que me hubiera gustado que le pusieran un poco más de protección del paquete, solo metieron el juego dentro de una caja y ya, algún tipo de plástico con burbujas hubiera sido perfecto.
