Review-Fable 3

Ah yes, the wonderful Fable series. Full of dry British humor and the fantastic storytelling only Lionhead could give us. On with the review.

First Gameplay. So Lionhead stuck with the proven formula that has worked so well for them, Go here do that quest, got there do this quest. It still hasn't gotten old. The gameplay stands out, it isn't a hack and slash, it's in a leaugue all of it's own. the camera can get a bit annoying from time to time when it locks up and won't move. Other than that if you're hunting Hobbes or just Looking to make a new friend or family, the gameplay in Fable 3 will never get old; 10.

Next Controls. Nothing much to say here, they haven't changed throughout the series. They're simple and intuitive. If it ain't broke, don't fix it: 9.

The Plot. WARNING: Major Spoilers! The plot formula hasnt changed through the games. You're a decendant of a hero, the one from Fable 2 who became king. You have an evil brother who is king and is opressing the people of fair Albion. You embark on a quest to stop him with your dog, your butler/servant, and the knight that has trained you your whole life. The story is fairly standard from there, gain the respect of the people in different towns to get a rebel force going.....until you have to go to the country of Aurora across the ocean. You crash on the  shores of Aurora with your mentor Walter and a soldier named Ben. Ben goes missing so you and Walter go through a cave where an ancient force known as the crawler takes Walter captive, you save him and get him to the nearby city. After you get back to Albion you advance on the castle with your forces and quickly take it over.Your brother hands over the thrown, after a year of running your kingdom the crawler attacks and you battle a possessed Walter and kill him. As i said pretty standard. The plot is awesome so; 9.5.

Voice acting and writing. Having legendary actor and comedian John Cleese will net anybody a good score for voice acting. Now i'm not a hundred percent on the other voice actors but they're good as well. The writing is the typical satirical british humor that makes you chuckle at it's cheesey puns and witty observations. Overall a 9.5.

Okay, i love this game. the Fable series is one of the reasons i own an xbox.
