Peter Molyneux tried to recreate Fable III as an Action/Adventure game and remove the RPG elements. In doing so, he created either a mediocre RPG or a boring Action/Adventure game, neither of which would be considered good in my book.

Its my personal opinion somewhere between Fable 2 and Fable 3 though it seems that Lionhead lost the spirit and just went straight for the money.

Fable III Review
It’s a revolution baby! While the obvious tag line of Fable 3 regards the narrative structure of the game, the word revolution can be applied to so much more. Fable returns to the Xbox for its third installment, this time with far less promises from Mr. Molynuex. It is well sighted that ol’ Peter vouches for his games the same way as sexually promiscuous teenagers, and the results tend to be just as disappointing when revealed. I went into Fable 3 after finally forcing myself to finish off the last title. The stench of mediocrity emanating from the final encounter of that particular game perhaps lowered my expectations going into the beginnings of the new title. Boy is my face red!
| PROS | Diverse and open world, Loads to do, Some of the best voice acting in any game |
| CONS | Boring combat, Uncontrollable expression system, iffy inventory system |
| WTF?! | Building a chicken army, while dressed as a chicken |
It is no secret that the main story revolves around your rebellious actions against the current king, eventually becoming the monarch yourself. I was immediately concerned that the advertising for the title was giving away far too much information and that the title would be little more than playing out these actions, ending the game in an open world adventure after your rise to power. While the revolutionary part of the game is set in stone (following your destiny and all), the game is so much more than adventure by numbers. Rather than a lengthy tutorial on your path to becoming a hero like the previous titles, Fable 3 thrusts you right into the action. Within 10 minutes of starting the game you are on your way to becoming the hero Gotham, I mean, Albion needs.
The time of wild adventurers is very much dead. Time has passed in Albion and the age of industry has smeared across the landscape forever changing the way the world works. The beautiful vistas and village folk of the original Fable are long passed, replaced with the factories and the working man. The happy joy of the world has been swapped out for a much more dower vision of a fantasy setting. The initial introduction is surprisingly charming and sets the tone for the adventure perfectly. Thankfully, your father was the hero that saved Albion in the previous title (with no mention of the optional female hero) meaning you carry the powers of a hero. Unfortunately, your brother is the king and it will be a battle between blood that will see the rise or fall of the land.
The guy in the middle is voiced by Simon Pegg, the other two are not worthy
The tale of Fable 3 is presented wonderfully, not only in visual design and level concept, but through the all-star cast of voice actors that bring the world to life. If like me you happen to be English, your heart will swell with pride upon hearing the work of the immediately familiar voices of Stephen Fry reprising his role as Reaver, Simon Pegg as the solider Ben Finn, John Cleese as your butler and the lose mouthed Jonathan Ross. Everyone one of these characters is unforgettable in their own way, which only serves to attach you to the latest title from Lion Head Studios. Of course Zoe Wanamaker reprises her role as Theresa, once again guiding your hero, but perhaps not telling the whole truth.
Of course the title wouldn’t be a Fable game if there was no element of choice in the story. While once again you are bound to fate and have no choice in the direction of your characters adventure, you can decide how to react. One of my major gripes with the older titles was the black and white way the designers laid out your choices. Either your hero was good, bad or schizophrenic. Never did a choice come down to anything less than ‘do you wish to be a douche?’ Fable 3 strays from this stringent formula with every decision you make. Due to your standing in the world, your answers have an immediate effect and a longer lasting ramification. Upon becoming King you are set a task that requires a humongous amount of money to complete, however certain people are in desperate need for money and you made several promises on your rise to power. I found myself picking the good option and fulfilling my promises to the people of the land, but found after my first day on the throne the treasury was over a million gold in debt. I won’t ruin the joy of finding out what the task is, however do understand that being a million in debt could threaten everything I fought to create.
8/10

It Has to Be Said: Fable 3 DLC is Absolutely Disgraceful!
Its my personal opinion somewhere between Fable 2 and Fable 3 though it seems that Lionhead lost the spirit and just went straight for the money.
Man, I love these games, though Fable 1 was really short, the shortest of all the games, 2 was bit longer but the story was meh, but 3 has really taken 1 and 2 further imo. . 1 was way too short and what ruined it for me was the massive hype, because after the game was released and looking for help and things online, I was disappointed about the amount of stuff that was promised but then cut. 2 was better, but the story was really lacking for me.
I think 3 so far is the best. The quests are pretty amazing and fun, I found myself LOLing at many parts in the game, there is a lot of humor in the quests as well as many parts that are just fucking creepy, and yet still funny. One being the puzzle at Sunset House.
Many people complain about the story being shorts. I guess if you rush through it and never complete the non-linear quests or the dozens of non-quest puzzles, then yeah you’re cutting out a lot. But man, there are sure is a lot of doom gloom and creepiness in the game so far. I am about 25 hrs in, and am working on my kingdom.
Only complaints so far is combat seems a little lackluster, game gets laggy at times, which more of the non-quest puzzles were added to the story… the looking for keys, those gnomes and later on flowers get kind of annoying, but this game has been enjoyable so far and I am not even done..
8.5/10
Sorry, but an extremely well polished turd is still a turd… This game doesn’t deserve 5/10 let alone 8 :/
Might get it
its funny because I love fable 2 and of course the original fable but everytime I play I lose track of what I am doing. I haven’t been able to just finish it. eventrually I will are these games just getting tooo big?
Waiting for it to come out for PC.
Each one tends to improve on the previous mostly. I hope they keep this series going for a while. Maybe a longer game, that would be good.
after you become king the game gets a little boring but still pretty fun
i still dont know i dont like rpg but it stilll look good
oh! I Want!
Man I want this game
Fable 3 is AMAZING !!!!
One of the wort parts of this game has to be the interactions with the people. The fact that you can’t pick what expression you do sucks, but whats worse is just the way the people work. To become friends, you have to build up relationship with them THEN you must go off and do a chore for them. What the hell?! What kind of friend is that? In any event, they just seemed so boring and like robots.
I want Fable 3 .
MAGIC SPAM!!!!
I thought Fable 2 sucked personally, but this game just gave me a good time all the way through, even if it was too easy and too short. The magic kicked ass, your character was so over the top with how he/she did emotions that it was awesome, no matter how gender bending it was. I did also like property renting system, really felt like a good investment, especially near the end. I didn’t like the decisions though, as they were always too good or too evil, but hey, I guess I was holding it up to ME2′s standards, still, wish there was someway to be slightly neutral yet still good. Overall, this game was hilarious, definitely worth getting my older brother for his birthday.
I found the game good in the sense of It was fun, but the (And spoilers are comming, so you have been warned)
Once you hit the “Timer point” after you become ruler, it more or less tells you to be a prick or your screwed, then it preety much pulled a Digimon at the end (By that i mean, making you believe this guy, AKA, your brother, is the big bad, then after you “win” you find out the randon demon spawn you found in the caves that looks like somthing out of Starcraft or somthing is the big bad, and you got to beat him) it just makes you feel cheated in my eyes, but besides the ending, i found it to be a good game. 7/10 if i had to rate it.
I agree as well, a very good review. I’ve owned the game since release day and my quibbles are pretty much the same.
I do have one correction though; there is mention of the female hero from Fable II. In my play through my character’s hero parent is referred to as my mother and the Queen. I have yet to find out if this is because I’m playing AS a female hero or if Xbox recognizes my profile’s info from Fable II (wherein I played as a female). It’ll be easy enough to find out however, when I begin a new game as a male hero.
Awsome review agree with everthing you’ve said. I got the game day one and Im still playing it now and finding new things to do.
Thanks for the review, I own Fable 3 and i think that your review captures my feelings towards it. Great voice talent, a very good story, and yes combat it’s kinda bland, and the fact that you can’t control the expresions gets a little bit old, and boring (there’s so much dancing with blokes that i can enjoy), but besides that it’s a solid game. Keep up the good work mates.
Very informative review. I’ve had the game for about a week and I’ve been enjoying it so far. My one major complaint has to be the glowing trail and it’s frequent disappearances. Total Fable 2 deja vu. Stupid glowing trail.
You know, the moral dilemma of what promises you keep becomes moot if you’re a shrewd enough investor and buy up every house early in the game. By the time I was done, I had 10,000,000 more coins than I knew what to do with. And there’s only so much you can waste just buying up every single item in game.
Hey everyone, thanks for all the comments. All your positive feedback has made a man smile. Hope to see you all around the site in the future.
I May JUst Skip this one then lol
as much as i’d love to say that i look forward to buying this game, i really dread it. i know im going to buy it eventually, but i HATED the second one with the passion of 1000 suns. all of the good things may outweigh the bad in this one, but it cant cover up the menal scarring that Fable 2 put me through.
Thank you for the review, it did flush out several details that I’ve heard mentioned in passing by other reviewers. In truth I can’t say this convinced me to buy the game or otherwise essentially because I’m going to be getting this shortly after it comes out for the PC anyways, only waiting a little longer to ensure that the pc version isn’t a poor port. Hopefully by that time the directional system is fixed as well as any other bugs that may be present.
All in all thanks for writing this up and devoting your time to the game in order to give us this nicely detailed review.
Finally another Fable for PC. I was so pissed when Fable 2 was only for xbox. Im gonna buy this when it gets little cheaper.
Really because I played this game and watched my roomates play through to the ending. Although I do have to give the game props for good voice acting and actually funny jokes, I find its the plot that takes an even more derivitive turn then the last game. There are NO surprises in this game, the opening to this game feels more like a bad comic with it’s “Let’s Do Something!” narrative from nearly every character. I understand it’s trying to show that a revolution is necessary but there are more suble ways to do this.
What follows the opening is quite simply a stream of fetch questing and combat until you become monarch, where you simply make a stream of choices as monarch, all of which are also derivitve and almost feel tacked onto the entire experience (somehow).
Great review, and surprising as well! I would never expect some of the things you’ve mentioned, I gotta play it. For me tho it’s about february till I get my hands on it, since Im a PC gamer only. But, You got me on my toes till then
Really good review. I think you expressed it prefectly – though it has problems and frustrating moments, they are far outweighted by all good the game has got to offer. I was looking forward to the game nearly all year, so when it came out I decided to pay extra for a Collecter’s Edition, and am so glad I did.
I am looking forward to any add-ons or dlc they come out with! (If there is going to be any, that is)
A good review, im kinda on the fence about actually purchasing this title after fable 2.
I think this is a “let my sister buy it and steal it from her” game.
Well, I can safely say you have encouraged to at least try the game. I still haven’t forgiven Molyneux over the ending to Fable 2
I’ve had this game for a week now, and I agree with every sentiment this review says. I was so excited when I saw the way the ending played out, and the vocal work made my day. I’m very glad I own this game.
awesome review!
