worth a rent, but not a buy

By A Customer (sofacinema.co.uk) Read the full review

I was hoping for something great, something revolutionary from this game. I've never played the other fables so this was all new to me. The combats, simple to learn could be criticised for being about button mashing, but play it well and the flourish...

Good Game Too short.

By A Customer (sofacinema.co.uk) Read the full review

Gameplay was good pretty simular to previous titles, personally a bit too cheesy at times and the main story line was definately too short although there are a lot of side quests to soak up some time.

By MongMaster (sofacinema.co.uk) Read the full review

I thought Fable II was average, but at least I actually managed to get through that game and complete it. I've been playing Fable III for about seven hours now and I just can't stand it anymore. I liked it at first. I liked the fact that the hero...

Fable III Xbox 360 Review

By Dead Alive (gameon.co.uk)

Fable was hailed as a great action RPG. Not perfect by any means, but great; the problem was Peter Molyneux of Lionhead, giving all sorts of promises his game couldn't live up to. The sequel, Fable II also had this problem. Can this third installment...

Despite looking similar to Fable II, graphics still impress ; Fantastic audio throughout ; Co-op massively improved ; Sanctuary is interesting, in a good way

Far, far too easy ; Repetitive combat ; Traditional levelling is gone ; You never really feel 'noble

To begin with you’re shown one of the games new main attractions in the tutorial - touch. Before we were able to gather a crowd and fart at them, or show them our might by flexing our muscles. In Fable III the whole system is more personalised, letting...

Fable III (Xbox 360)

By (peoww.co.uk)

More broken promises?

Still, Fable III‘s game world is still one of the most believable and charming out there and this was enough for me to still enjoy myself. They really have to change up the formula for Fable IV though, probably with a new engine and take the whole...

If Lionhead can actually start to follow through with their ideas, without over simplifying everything, then the Fable franchise could grow into a very special one indeed. Unfortunately it seems they’re currently content with having great ideas but...

Fable III

By Stevie E (consolegaming.eu)

Lionhead have slightly altered the formula. Will Fable fans brace this change?

In conclusion, Fable III is a fantastic sequel to what was already a brilliant game. Unfortunately, there isn't much of a major change that would excite newcomers. I can only see Fable veterans purchasing this. Although the inclusion of some...

Fable fans will love what this has to offer, despite the formula being changed a little bit. If you have never played any of the games but love story-based titles, this is definitely one to pick up.

Fable III

By WoLf (gamesxtreme.net)

Games Xtreme goes back to Albion for the latest Fable instalment and finds out if the new GUI is gooey enough.

Fable 3 is a flawed experience, fun enough but could be so much more with a good patch or two. Worth playing regardless... but expect some headaches.

Carol is quite pleased with spending her days on her hands and knees; her pleasure can be heard as far as Brightwall Village.
