Is one of the most awesome games I have ever played.
It does have its faults but I'll let McGowan rant about them if he wishes. However they are few and far between!
The achievement list is absolutely awesome, the gameplay, the combat, the magic system (unlimited magic ftw??!!!!!!!!!!!!), the styles, the story is boss too! All in all a fucking incredible game!
The Co-op is a bit weird and could have done with some tinkering but even so I like it and probably will take part in a co-op play through eventually!
Fable 2 is awesome. Cundoo has spoken!

Rant he may and rant he will.
These few and far between flaws he mentions are a string of bugs and glitches. Although they in no way hamper gameplay or anything they make the whole thing seem unfinished and slightly rushed at times.
Although access to Expressions is faster and easier, items need to be accessed through the pause menu at all times except in specific situations.
The story, while good, lacks the same kind of pure evil villain Fable 1 had and all in all can be completed quite quickly. The *vast* majority of time spent playing Fable 2 will be on side-quests and personal indulgences.
The fact that, good or evil, corrupt or pure, everyone in the world will fall in love with you when you are famous enough and follow you everywhere was a major let down for me. As well as a major annoyance.
I won't even mention my troubles with the Hoarder achievement as I don't want to reveal a spoiler but I can tell you Lionhead did not think that one through properly! Much to my lament.
However, that said, Fable 2 is brilliant. Hilariously funny with a charm and wit you could only get from a British studio, solid gameplay which refines the system from the original and of course, Stephen Fry.
I give it: ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
EDIT: This was written just over a week after I got the game. My views on Fable 2 have very much changed. Check out my official review in the McGowadower Review's section of the site to see what my final verdict is.
