Fable Anniversary (Xbox 360)

Got for 450 best game all Xbox 360 lovers will have this game

Best buy got it for 399

Excellent product

Be aware that this game shows as PEGI16 on the product page cover but is actually a PEGI18 when I received it. I intended to but it for my 15 y/o cousin, having played it myself but decided to return based on the PEGI rating. The game though is great and the Anniversary version is re-mastered beautifully keeping the original freshness of the game we loved all those years ago. There are tons of side-quests and gradual learning as you go along. Before you play though, always google for tips & tricks on this game. There are really easy ways to get the best in-game sword & bow quite early in the game.

this game is made for child I don't like that

The game is a good old classic. But this anniversary edition had so much lag that it was difficult to play certain levels. I had to eventually return it.

Fable was, and to this day, was an amazing game to play. It wasn't that the graphics were the greatest, or the story, or even the gameplay; rather, the combination of all of that which tied it all together, making it a fantastic game. Within the last few years I would pop open the Fable: TLC case for the Xbox, pop it into my Xbox 360 and give it another play through. And further installations were no match for the original Fable's story, because they began drifting from what made Fable a great game. But then the news came: Fable Anniversary was coming for the 360, and it would be a remake faithful to the original version! I was ecstatic, but I digress. You aren't here to read my feelings towards the game, are you? =Story The story is a rather generic story, with no definite elements to set it apart. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, because it plays like a good book. And even though the game is somewhat bland in areas, it still tends to stick out with the characters and their voice actors. The antagonist in the game serves their purpose well, and in turn helps make the story stick out. -Score: 7.5/10 =Graphics The original looked pretty good for its time, and the remake does nothing but improve upon the original. The only complaint I have is that the game seems to chug sometimes, especially towards the beginning, and the game is not on par with other high-end games. Nonetheless, it's a beautiful game and a welcome addition to the 360 collection. -Score: 8.5/10 =Gameplay Depending upon your choice of control style, it plays like one of the previous Fables. However, choosing Fable 2/3 won't allow you to sheathe your weapons, so I stuck with the Fable layout. The games controls are pretty fine, and they don't feel overly dated. The combat was rather easy, especially with a bit of practice, and the few puzzles in the game were easy as well. The game does reward you a bit with treasure chests and digging off the beaten path, but the chests tend to stick out, and the digging spots tend to be hard to find. Nevertheless, the game played well and did what it had to for an adventure game. -Score: 8/10 =Overall Fable was and is a great game, and if you liked the original then I'd say you should pick this version up as well. -Score: 8/10

Fable Anniversary brings the beloved classic RPG to life with enhanced graphics, smoother gameplay, and the same captivating story that made the original a fan favorite. The remaster offers a perfect blend of nostalgia and modern improvements, making it the ultimate way to experience the whimsical world of Albion. The choices you make still have deep, impactful consequences, keeping the gameplay engaging and replayable. Whether you’re a returning hero or a newcomer, this edition is a must-have for any RPG fan.

I'm a long time fan of the series, starting back with the original. I really like 2 but I hated 3. So far, Anniversary is exactly what expected, and IT IS GLORIOUS! Except for one problem. In my 2 hour playing session, the game froze 3 times. Twice I restarted the console, but on the third time I called it a night. If this problem persists, it will be too frustrating to play. I'll edit my review to be 5 stars if this issue is resolved for me at any point. Other than the freezing, I recommend this to anyone who loved the original Fable. I never got to play TLC, so I'm looking forward to finally playing that, too. Edit 1, Feb. 5, 2014: There's good activity on the Lionhead user forums regarding the freezing issue. Lionhead seems engaged in resolving this. I'm optimistic about getting the freezing fixed and bumping my review to the 5 stars this game deserves. Edit 2, Feb. 7, 2014: Based on info from the Lionhead forum I have had great success with the following steps: install game to hard drive, clear system cache and reinstall title update, wait 5 minutes on the Start screen to let the game cache before playing. In my most recent 4-hour session the game didn't lag or freeze once! So, here we go! Rating upgrade to the full 5 stars! Here's a little more about why this game is so great and why you should buy it if you haven't already: Expectations have always been infamously high going into a new Fable game. This time, my hopes were set on revitalized graphics, a better save system, better menus, and the Fable II control scheme. Fable Anniversary delivers on those completely! Fable holds a special, nostalgic place in my heart for the time I spent playing this in my younger days. You can never play a game for the first time more than once, no matter how much you loved the first time. Even time doesn't make that possible. Coming back after so many years can make the original game more disappointing than magical. With FA, though, Lionhead has breathed the life back into this game for me. It feels more how I remember it than ever, even though it's looks different and uses some different mechanics. Games are always about the experience for me, so I'm less interested in the purity of the original form than I am in the similarity of the original experience. FA is the closest I've been able to get to the gameplay that I fell in love with back in the day. Great job, Lionhead! Thanks for bringing back that wonderful experience. To anyone thinking about buying this game: If you loved or even liked the original Fable you have to get this game.

Fable Anniversary is an amazing remastering of one of the best RPG's of all time, of which set many of the standards we currently hold for RPG's. The graphics are beautiful and crisp, while all the characters/animations look better than ever. I have had the game freeze a couple times, but other than that the only glitch i have had was one time when characters started walking sideways, and it stopped within seconds. This was one of my favorite games as a kid, and the flood of memories coming back as i progress further and further are great. If you never got around to playing this but you have played other Fable games, definitely pick this up. It might not have as many features as others, but it was created back in 2004 (keep that in mind.) A pure classic in modern times: I couldn't have asked for anything better!

Love it! I had the original and this is just as I remembered with much better graphics. Also bonus content at the end of the game and made the map more fun. I started to use the smartglass feature, which gives you a map on your phone or tablet with the smartglass app. However it didn't always sync up well with your location and it didn't impress me all that much. But it is an available feature that some may like more and may work better for some. Overall, so satisfied that I bought it and if you are thinking of buying it also, do it! You won't regret it.
