"Fable - a true 'legend' of a game!" - 27 April 2006
Well, where do I start? This game is phenominal. The story is so in depth and the possibilities are endless! Good or Evil - for those of you that hadn't played the original Fable these are the two choices that face you whilst you play. Will you lead a heroic onslaught of all that is evil in the world? Or will you pursue all that is pure and good, destroying, and creating a reign of terror along your way? The choice is yours. Anyway, onto the storyline - which I must say is superb! The game starts with you as a small child, it's your sisters birthday and your father has asked you to get her a preasent. You have one problem though, you have no money. So your Dad offers you a deal - for every good deed you do around the town he will give you one gold coin. However, there are other ways of getting the money you require. For example: A local bully is threatening a young child for his toy, and the boy cries for help. You are now faced with those two choices again. You could either: defeat the bully and get the gold off your father for performing a good deed...or you could kick the holy crap out of the little kid until he offers you gold to leave him alone. Its quite simple, yet very entertaining! After the gold is gathered for your sisters birthday you buy her a present and just as you go to give her this preseant, bandits raid the town...typical? Your father is killed and your mother and sister kidnapped. You are left alone. That is until a mysterious man appears and explains that he is your only hope of survival. Now this is where the real game starts. This man is infact Maze, head of heroes at the heroes guild. He and the guildmaster(whom you will also meet)train you to become a hero, to fight evil in the world - that is, if you want to of course, lol! You are told that there is a growing evil arising in Albion (the world in which the game is set) and you are given a series of missions besides the main story line to complete. Along the way you will grow stronger and wiser, enabaling you to use heavier weapons and powerful spells to defeat your foes. You are faced with a huge arsenal of weapons and spells to choose from, each with there own unique ability and strengths. There are also many types of clothing, armour and mystacal robes to wear - all of which you will buy with your hard earned cash...and its tuff being a hero! As for the extra content in the game - excellent! Another island to explore more weapons, more armour, more monsters to fight and another chunk of story to play through. There are so many secrets to unvail, so many choices to be made and so many puzzles to be solved that you will simply never grow weary of this game. It can be played again and again. I loved it, so will you! Now go, buy this game, and be faced with the choices that I have...Good or Evil, what will you be? 5/5 - Phenominal!

"A good Game But could do with being more different" - 11 January 2006
This game is perfect if you havent played Fable at all as this has additional features and collectables. However if you have already played the origional then its a little bit of a let down as you dont really get much newness untill you near the end of the game itself. Starting up the game looks exactly the same and it repeats itself throught the beggining. However the game is good and the new spells and weapons and armour deffinately make everything more fun. Still doesnt kick headshotting peopel with a crossbow off my list ^^

"A worthy addition!" - 10 January 2006
I read the other reviews on this page before deciding to buy The Lost Chapters but was still unsure as to the wisdom of this purchase until I finally played it...I think if you felt the original Fable was too short then you may feel the same about this too. However, just because it is the original game with add-ons doesn't mean you will finish it even faster. There are so many new and amusing characters, kit, expressions, sub-plots and quests that you will find yourself re-exploring all the maps to see if there are any additions. Once more I found myself totally engrossed in and addicted to the game (much to my wife's dispair - still, she has back episodes of 'Stenders to watch). It really is a much better game than the original! In summary: if you loved the original Fable, BUY THIS, as you will rediscover the excitement you had when first playing it!

"The best sequel possible" - 21 October 2005
If you played Fable and thought it was amazing except that it was too short, you are in exactly the same predicament as i was in. i didn't know whether to buy it or not but after playing the original, i had no doubts. This game is exactly like GTA except it is more fun and interactive. Sure it has the same storyline and it is like playing fable again but with the new pub games and clothes eg// hooded apprentice robes and golden armour, it is much more exciting. More challenges as well. Microsoft added to the original fable but this is a game in its own age.Bottom line: If you liked Fable, Buy Fable The Lost Chapters. You will have no doubts. It is not just useless addition. It is a superb game and at any price less than 20 pounds, it is a bargain. Buy it now! No regrets.

"This wasn't worth the wait." - 10 November 2005
I bought the Xbox so I could play the original Fable over a year ago now. I was hugely disappointed with how short the last game was (10 hours of play) and hoped for some sort of expansion to come along.TLC is almost exactly the same as the original. There are some new side-quests to complete in the early stages and new weapons and equipment to gather, but it doesn't really add anything much. The new chapter that continues where the old game left off adds less than an hour to the game time but has some nice touches and new monsters and locations. Was it worth spending the extra money? Probably not. If you have the original then steer clear until the price comes down more. If this is the first time you're picking up a Fable game then buy Fable:TLC.

"Too Short? No" - 7 February 2006
There are those who complain Fable is too short, well it isnt. Sure you can complete the missions in 8 hours or so but that is not where the value of this games lies, its in the freedom, the freedom to do what you want. Talk to a true fable fan and they well tell you of what deeds they have done, probably how they went to a village killed everyone and then bought the village, or how the started mugging people in the forests then fighting hordes of undead. This is where the true fun in fable lies. Lost chapters adds even more options to the already cramped table, new quests are a bonus but i was happier when i saw a chicken dance option and when i won a fishing hat. This game is worth a buy but not if your just going to do the missions and then spend your time complaining, however there is one major fault towards the end the missions suck you in and you want be able to stop doing them. BUY THIS GAME

"Pretty good - except" - 4 April 2006
This game is on the whole, good. The story is interesting, and there are a loada side missions to keep ypu busy. The game would be good for younger people because the characters are cartoon like, and its on the whole - easy. Reminded me of Zelda.It is a good game. BUT - For me its too childish, im in my 20s so I like a game with real depth, and a mature storyline, which fable does not provide. There is no challenge in the fighting, and it becomes boring, you just end up tapping the attack button over and over till the baddies are dead - pretty dull. If youre under 16 and you lkek a pretty good RPG than get this game, if not go for something like the elder scrolls - which I think is absolutely fing amazing!! more depth, and a much more stronger story. But again, I gotta say this is on the whole GOOD but I got bored. p.s. maybe im just thick, but I was having very irritating saviong problems - I would do a mission, save the game and than load it up to find ive gotta do the missions again! Unfortunately I wont be completing this game for that reason.

"Good RPG" - 11 February 2006
Fable is the kind of game you'll play for a couple of weeks but then not many times after. The graphics are excellent and the gameplay good, but the lifespan is short. Good for a couple of hours.

"best of the brittish" - 8 January 2006
if you loved fable then you will adore this a challange for the japaneese rpg crown

"Disappointed" - 28 October 2005
I bought this expecting an extension of the original or perhaps playing a different character with a different quest but no, it's the same story, same characters with a bit of padding. If you've not played the original, get this instead (That is worth 5 stars!) . If you've played Fable, don't bother with this.
