Fable II (2008)
Let me spin you a fable too.
Fable 2 at long last, huh? And it's enjoyable. But, only 8/10. Pourquoi? A few reasons.
As mentioned my another reviewer, the load times are very annoying. When you hit the menu button, it takes a few seconds with some clunking and clicking from your disc making you think, 'It's not scratched, is it?' before activating. And there are other irritating freezes within the game, not dissimilar to 'Oblivion'.
But, my major quibble is that I, as an entrepreneur (within the game) and a married man (within the game), decided to bring my lovely wife to a new house and purchase it, the plan being to rent out our old one. No sooner had I bought the house, than I was treated to a beautiful display of computer art which concluded in telling me that I was now married. A scene that was somewhat familiar to me. For I was already married. What I am getting at is that the game married me to the same woman twice! And unlocked the 'Bigomist' achievement, a rating I felt was unwarranted. And then saved the stupid game so I couldn't undo this without starting the whole game again from scratch. How annoying.
Even more annoying, I couldn't bring the child my lovely wife and I had had from our old house. So, I've got the same family spread between two houses and can't rent out the old one because my baby is still there and the computer won't automatically bring the child into the new house.
So, buggy. But, the game is good other than that. I'll add to this if I find any more errors (or good points that no-one else has thought of).
