Being an older game, the graphics are OK, the gameplay is slow, cheesy, and really not very exciting. It is, however entertaining. I bought it to enter the world of RPG play. It has worked well for that.

The graphics are good, but don't expect well thought out gameplay. The game feels more rote even though it's a open world. There's a sparkling line that tells you where to go. No more side quests or exploring! I highly recommend Fable 1 not 3. I guess it was OK, but they could have done so much better.

I received this game as a gift for Christmas and I found I was attached to it for 4 days straight. I had to pry myself away from it to get my work done, and continually have to fight the urge to play it. The game is a great sequel to Fable and Fable II. Although there are some things I would change if I could, it definitely is entertaining and fun to play. As a Fable fan, I was able to pick up on most things quickly, though I expect new players may have some difficulty in understanding the story line and such. Glitches! There are always glitches and Fable II had lots, most of which were graphic-related and hilarious to watch. Fable III so far has mostly had functionality glitches, with some kind of annoying graphical ones... I've found that sometimes the golden trail to follow doesn't always go anywhere. It may also make loops through the air or along the side of staircases and such. Oh a word of warning... if you're not careful you can screw up your game big time. Do some research beforehand! If you're going to play a good character you need to amass millions in gold coins... when I say millions I mean like 10 million. It sounds like a lot but the game provides lots of ways to make money and if you buy all the properties you can (stores and houses) you'll find you'll be making a lot of money despite the cost of repairs to keep the houses usable. Your money can quickly build up if you leave your character running in circles overnight using a rubberband and a wired controller and a confined area for your character to run in (this only works if you own stores and rent houses!). Unlike Fable II, your money will only build while you play - thus the simple, yet effective cheat stated above. FYI - I think it takes about 6 to 8 hours for a house to depreciate from 100% condition to about 3%, so repair the houses prior to doing the cheat. Anyway, it's a great game, not perfect, but certainly entertaining like its predecessors.Read full review
I was very skeptical about this game because the Fable II was such an enormous let down for me. I was in love with the first game and had great expectations in place for its immediate sequel. That was not a mistake I was going to make twice. With Fable III I was pleasantly surprised - amazed even! The things that were lacking in the previous game are all golden here. Namely, the story! The story of a young prince becoming a hero to overthrow the tyrant king is a well paced and endearing one. However, that is only the first half of the game. Once you become the ruler of Albion the fate of your kingdom is in more jeopardy than you originally knew. Now you have to make important decisions that will decide how many of your people will survive the impending doom, but your decisions may also require you to follow in the footsteps of the former tyrant instead of becoming the benevolent hero king you promised to be. It all plays out beautifully from start to finish and I was honestly immersed in this game and its tale far more than I have been with any game in a long time. The options for clothing and dyes are far greater than the last game and there are actually some cool armors you can obtain. The weapons and their customizable qualities are awesome. The magic in this game is terrific as you have a list of spells that are tied to gauntlets that you wear and you can mix and match them for interesting magic combos called "weaves". All in all the combat is not much of an improvement over the last game if at all, but its still fun and there are still PLENTY of hollow men, hobbes, and balverines to rip through on your way to glory. If you want to play a Fable where you TRULY feel like the hero you're supposed to be then this is the one! Fable III is an absolute blast!Read full review
I give it a 9.2 out of 10 - some cool mixed elements!! IT'S LIKE SIMS VS GOD OF WAR IF THAT MAKES ANY SENSE lol the game is a ltl glitchy and graphics could of been improved but none the less the game is huge and there is sooooooooo much to do.. I suppose thats why graphics were cut down to make up for the long ass gameplay........... some of the scenery is however beautiful and the fact that you can pick ur wife and take her to your room for unprotected sex helps aswell lol..........never played a game on xbox with quite so much manual play other than sims but overall awesome exp LOTS OF UPGRADES/GOLD/JEWELRY/STEALING/SEX/DRINKING/KILLING/ACTIONS YOU DO CHANGE GAME/LOADS OF WEAPONS/WIZARDRY GAUNTLETS/BAKING/BLACKSMITH/STORE VENDING/BUY/RESELL/RENT HOUSES/HAVE KIDS/TRAIN YOUR DOG/DIG FOR GOLD AND SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH MORE....I WOULD I COULD TELL U MORE BUT BY THIS TIME THE MAJORITY OF YOU HAVE STOPPED READING THIS ha ha heres my nifty ltl review hope it helps..... bottom line if you can get this game for round 20-35 dollars.....GET IT....ITS WORTH IT..... -NeutralVisionsRead full review
