I'm so sick of reviewers. Especially IGN. IGN UK said the dog was hardly more than a compass and gave Fable 2 a 9.5, while IGN US said the dog was the best part and gave it an 8.8. IGN sucks a fat one. Their reviewers are complete asshats, and they boost up reviews for games that advertise on site.

Never played this but My girlfriend loved the original so i was wondering if I should get the second one for an xmas present, but I dont have the xbox live subscription, is this game mainly single player oriented or would I need an xbox live subscriptionto get most out of the game?

They are great. It makes you feel like you are playing in a movie.

No its just stupid when IGN nitpicks little things about one game and scores it in the 8's, but with GTA IV and MGS4, they give them 10's; both games had tons of flaws, the same kinds of stuff that was nitpicked in another game. They're way too subjective, and I'm reasonably sure that they sell out to their advertisers.

Ehhhh.

This is Fable 2 in the truest sense of the word. I really liked Fable, even though it's nothing like Lionhead made it out to be. This is just an extension of that. One with high production values and fun characters, but still not the game Peter promised us.

I think Oblivion did "Fable" better than Lionhead did. Anyhow, I like the game, my wife loves it.

i enjoyed the game alot last night. The only thing that bugs me is how he moves, sluggish and the controller doesnt respond very well when moving. has anyone notice that when you go to pick up a object sometimes it does nonthing and you have to walk away from it and then back on it again?

i love the animation of your skills in the pause screen. very cool.
