Fable: The Lost Chapters

"The original Fable plus some."

GRAPHICS: 8/10
Almost every game on the Xbox has fantastic graphics, and this game is no exception. But, like almost every game on the Xbox, hands get messed up. If you're holding a sword, it's more like it's levitating in your hand. If you're scratching your head, you're more likely to be scratching a few inches above your head. Also, if your sword is sheathed, sometimes it goes into you, and it does the same with walls if you walk to close. Other than these things, fantastic graphics.

STORY: 10/10
It's basically the same Fable plus some. The plot can always change depending on what path you take during the game, but the story is always a great one. One great new thing is the Chicken Kicking competition in Oakvale. Everyone loved to kick chickens in the original, and it's back with a vengeance! Overall, the plot is amazing and with an all new plot it's two times as amazing.

GAME PLAY: 10/10
The thing everyone loves is that it's never the same story, and you can always change your character halfway through the game. The controls are great, and it's a fun game to play, because there are many places to explore and many people to talk to. You can make people love you, envy you, want to kill you, or even be terrified of you, and the choice is always yours.

SOUND: 6/10
This is probably the only thing I dislike out of the game. The music is repetitive. If you're fighting, it's one tune, then when you're done fighting, it's always the same tune. It's an easy to to get stuck in your head, so I just tend to turn my sound off. The sound effects are good while fighting and kicking chickens and such, but the music is annoying and very, very repetitive.

GAME LENGTH: 8/10
If you're a power player, which I'm sure some of you are, you'll disagree with me on this. The game is about fifteen hours if you do every quest and explore everything, and if you don't, you could probably beat it in less than ten hours. No game is too long, and this about the average length for most games, so it gets an average score.

Overall Score: 9/10
