Fable II Review

For some inexplicable reason, Fable II has decided to do away with the world map and give us chunks of maps that don't fit together. The inability to use the map to explore fully makes for some frustration and also makes the world seem claustrophobic and severely limited. I want to be able to wander willy nilly and that means taking the occasional look at the map to see where I've been and where I'm going next. It is beyond annoying that you never quite know how all the areas fit together. I'm sure it was done for what the team think is a very good reason, but I'm blowed if I know what the heck it is and I'm hoping they never, ever do it again, ever!The map thing was my biggest gripe about the game, too.

Fable II is by no means perfect, but it is effortlessly entertaining and that is what gaming should be all about. In short this is the gaming equivalent of (messing about in boats) and for that it heartily deserves 4.5 GIN gems.
