"Not a bad port..."
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Most pc ports of console games I've played in the past usually prove annoying and problematic. However it seems they did quite well porting this to PC even especially the keyboard and mouse options. If you like the Fable series but don't have an Xbox 360, I'm sure you will enjoy this version. Also noted many of the previous bugs from the xbox 360 version have been fixed. Wish they could have corrected the teleport bug where it frequently teleports you miles away from the actual quest point. Otherwise all good.

"Dissapointing."
2 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

As a very big fan of fable 1 I was disappointed when fable 2 was not released on PC. I did however borrow an xbox360 to play it, although didn't think it was equal to fable1(tlc) I still enjoyed it. However when I started playing through fable3 I really did not enjoy it. The combat system is awful when combined with the leveling system, the viewable map is useless, actually having no map would be better. I don't understand why they removed the health bar and opted for fps health system, noticing your health is low when you are in a battle is very hard as the only indication is that the screen gets an very dull red shade around it which is unnoticible when there is any fire spells happening. I kept trying to like the game as I am such a fan of the fable series but I just kept getting annoyed at the game. Everything in the game feels less… Everything. In fable 2 when your dog dies its quite sad, however in fable3 your dog is nothing more than an anoyance. Its completely useless in battles and the only other thing that it does is sniff out treasure dig spots… Wow they are useless, one word of advice, if you ever play this game save your time and never use dig spots. Most of the time they are a rubbishy 50 gold, not worth the time trying to follow the dog as it barks and glitches along through the game. Best thing I have found was 500 gold, once, why the programmers even bothered with this feature I have no idea. Even the plot itself is less iteresting. I mainly play games for their story, this one is borring. One final thought, in fable 1 and 2 the main character never speaks which adds to his mystique, in fable 3 the main character labs away all the time, never sounding like the hero he is apparently meant to be. Overall poor effort when compared to the previous titles, if you liked the previous 2 games, this game is worth playing if just to see the evolution of Albion. Finding the play offline button is almost impossible and I had considered finding a crack to do this before I found the legitimate way of not having to permanently bind the game to a windows live gaming account.

"Good if you like that sort of thing."
4 stars"

Fable 3 is agood solid RPG with a good sense of humour. The British voice cast are well used with classic funnymen like John Cleese, Jonathan Ross, and Simon Pegg given lots to do. The game play is just what you'd expect; an engaging story line with plenty of side missions to keep you interesed. Fighting involves spells melee and missle weapons, and if you've played any game like this before, you'll get the hang of it quickly. I like the fact that dying doesn't send you back to redo thw mission, instead takes away the "reward"s you've been building up, and gives you scars. Its a bit like Grand theft Auto, without the cars, and much, much shorter. Multiple weapons to pick up, you have get married, buy houses, change clothes, get tattoos. All that stuff. There are a few bugs(I found myself trapped in a corner once or twice) but on the whole I really enjoyed the wit and fun gameplay.

Description

Fans new and returning will now embark on an epic adventure, where the race for the crown is only the beginning of your spectacular journey. Five decades have passed since the events of "Fable II," and Albion has matured into an industrial revolution, but the fate of the kingdom is at peril. In "Fable III," you will be called upon to rally and fight alongside your people, ascend to the seat of power, and experience the true meaning of love and loss. The choices and sacrifices you make while fanning the flames of revolution, and then as you rule as King or Queen or Albion, will lead to an ever evolving world of consequences that will be felt across your entire land. This sets the stage for unparalleled action and adventure that offers even more ways to fight and engage than ever before.

Throughout your journey, you will encounter a colorful cast of characters that fans have come to expect from the off-beat style and humor in the "Fable" games. After determining whether these characters are your friends or foes, you will either join them or fight against them in explosive combat, alone or with a friend on Xbox LIVE. In your quest to plant the seeds of revolution, seize power and rule over your kingdom, the choices you make will change the world around you, for the greater good or your own personal gain. Who will you become- A rebel without a cause, the tyrant you rebelled against, or the greatest ruler to ever live-

Features:
  • Be the hero and forge your own destiny. Storytelling comes to life as "Fable III" puts you and your hero in the center of an epic journey that traces your rise from revolutionary to ruler and beyond, along with all the action, drama and humor. Interacting with the world of Albion has never been easier or more rewarding. The Expressions system offers an ingenious new Dynamic Touch feature that allows your hero to reach out and embrace a loved one, or exact retribution against those who have betrayed you. Your hero, your faithful canine companion and even your weapons now also evolve to extremes mirroring your morality and personal style of combat. The emotional connections players will develop in the world of "Fable III" will lead to some of the most memorable moments ever experienced in a game.
  • Where blockbuster action meets adventure. Your journey spans from the streets of a thriving and industrialized Albion to the surrounding battlefields. The pioneering one-button combat system allows players to easily combine different styles in their arsenal - hand-to-hand melee attacks, long-range precision shooting and wickedly catastrophic spells - to advance the one-button combat mechanic to a full scale, thrilling level that offers infinite ways to engage, experiment and compete.
  • Choice and consequence. A core tenet of the "Fable" franchise, players are presented with infinite choices and consequences that impact the world around them. Good or evil, loved or loathed, career versus family, or just you and your faithful canine companion - live the life you have always dreamed. More so than ever before, your choices lead to far more profound outcomes that impact your every being. Whether it's deciding the outcome of minor squabbles or changing the direction of the entire kingdom, these key decisions will change the world forever.
