Fable 3 does more right than wrong. What we get is a game that is enjoyable and holds great promise, but doesn't surpass expectations in the long run.
Story: Satisfying for the most part. The trademark brit humor is back and brings the game up a few notches over others. The concept of becoming King is something that needs to be explored more, and is done pretty well here. The next game needs to be all about running a kingdom, as its a case of too little too late in this game. The final showdown with both your mortal and supernatural enemies respectively are also a complete joke and feel rushed.
Gameplay: One of the easier games out there. You can get through the whole game without even a worry of being defeated once you figure things out. The combat is still pretty satisfying, as you are able to whip out any of its three styles of combat at a moments notice, yet the game hardly pushes you to go outside the box in order to overcome your repetitive foes.
Graphics: Easy on the eyes, but a hideous brownish tone permeates the proceedings.
Sound: The voice acting is top notch. A who's who of quality Brit talent shows up to liven things. The soundtrack is classic Fable, and though repetitive, manages to capture the themes of the game perfectly.
Multiplayer: A great addition to the game. Frolicking around with a buddy both online and off, though a little confusing at first, works great. The frequent reminder of friends' stats is another interesting addition and breeds competition in a positive way.
Lasting Appeal: There was still quite a bit to do once I finished the game. The minigames are amusing.
Overall, while not quite as impactful as the first Fable, Fable 3 is a solid game in its own right, and not a bad way to spend the day.
