Introduction:
Fable: The lost Chapters is a game to be reckoned with. Great graphics, sound, story, and interactivity. Choose your path, good or evil, and everything you do or dont do from childhood to adulthood affects your ultimate destination. This game takes Morrowinds interactivity, GTA's freedom, and World of Warcrafts gameplay and graphics to give you the thrill of a lifetime. This is one of the games you bought your Xbox for, along with Halo, Halo 2, and Morrowind

Storyline: 10
The story is fascinating, and is very involved in the gameplay. You start out as a kid. Good family, nice friends, in a peaceful little town called Oakvale. Then, a terrible night of fire and bandits searching for you takes your childhood, and family, away. You are rescued by the leader of the guild of heroes. You then join the guild, and learn there until you grow up. From then, the story is up to you. Great setup and story.

Graphics: 10
Great. Astounding. Amazing. These are the words used to describe the graphics. Nearly seamless, they are unrealistic, but it is truly better that way. A slight glitch, things not loading as fast as you travel, is not a big problem. It does not hinder the true greatness of the dungeons and environments that you face on your way, because the graphics are great already. But what did you expect? This system is the Xbox, the greatest of it's generation, and made by Microsoft. Imagine if it were made by Mac. And the people are done great, too.

Voice, Sound and Music: 8
The conversations are done in voices, however your voice is absent for the most part, except when you do gestures and expressions, and for the grunting the character does so much. Sound effects were brilliantly done, however they are repetitive and can get annoying after a while. The music was also great, just overly used. By that I mean using the same music in many different places. It was good enough to not get old until about 15 hours in. Greatly done.

Controls: 9
Some of the easiest controls to remember ever. Easy to remember, but not so easy to use in the heat of combat. Many times I find myself forgetting to run. Still, very good use of the Xbox controler. It would seem almost impossible to do it on a Wii controller.

Gameplay: 10
Very very good. The story is controled by the game at the beginning, but after about an hour, your destiny is yours to control. Leveling up by killing monsters, and you also decide exactly what you get for your experience. A fantastic system, better than in most games. The teleportation is also very nice. Great Gameplay.

Overall: 9
Any RPG lover just must play this game. It is great, the best RPG I have played on the Xbox. All elements come toghether to make one of the Greatest RPG's of all time. Truly amazing. Now what are you waiting for? Go out and get this game right now!
