Players take on the role of a young boy, who aptly receives the title ‘Chicken Chaser’.
The story is a little cliche, but makes up for it with some snark British humor. While it may have not delivered on its initial promise, there is so much here that is done right it makes it hard not to appreciate it. In RPGs I usually tend to avoid being a magic user, but Fable implements it in such a way that I actually preferred it in some cases. The best part is that all three are satisfying, and fun to execute. The combat uses a mix of melee, ranged and magic attacks that players will have to balance. Those unfamiliar with Fable will also be pleased to know that this is a solid action/RPG, which not only introduced, but also defined a lot of the ideas in current titles. It is always nice to see such care put into bringing back a classic, as well as introducing it to new gamers who may have never had the chance to play it. Then there are of course a host of Achievements to earn. For starters the menu system is completely reworked to make navigating items and shops much more user-friendly. The developers have painstakingly recreated every asset in Fable to bring it up to 360 standards, but they also threw in some new goodies.
While the frame rate can still take a dive from time to time, this is the world of Fable that I remember so well. One of my favorite things about HD remakes is that my memory of games makes them look a lot better than they actually do, and the team has done a great job of bringing Albion into an HD setting. It is a hefty amount of content, and visually it looks like I remember, not how it actually looks. This updated version comes with the original game, as well as the expansion The Lost Chapters, which continues the adventure after the main story. Microsoft is bringing it back with their Anniversary edition (essentially their form of HD remakes) and jumping into the world of Albion was as memorable as I could have imagined. The new ideas it brought to the table, the clear-cut morality and most of all, just being extremely charming and enjoyable.
#Fable vs fable anniversary series
The first outing in the series still rings out as the most memorable for me in a lot of ways.
Being innovative, quirky and most notably, not delivering on its promises. The original Fable is known for a lot of things.
