So what's the moral of the story? Fable makes the leap to PC with few hitches. The additional content goes a long way to address our main original issue with the game, its length, but on the PC it's hanging with a tougher crowd. Graphically it's a generation behind its peers, and the control system betrays its Xbox roots, but if you can put up with that you're pretty much guaranteed a good time.
The second is at GameDAILY with an overall score of 4/5:
RPG fans can rejoice, because one of the best games on the Xbox is now on the PC, and it's better than ever! Currently, The Lost Chapters is the best version of Fable you can get. The better graphics and expanded gameplay might entice those who have already played through the game once, but the people who really win out are those who will be playing for the first time! Though it might have a few minor flaws, this is still a fantastic open-ended RPG in its own right and well worth picking up.
The third is at The Armchair Empire with an overall score of 9/10:
Even though the game is now an average length, it still feels short because the gameplay experience is just that varied and rewarding. The production values are perfectly tuned to the game's style as the graphics and audio are beautifully implemented. Quite simply, I loved the game. For all of you PC gamers out there that have not yet had the opportunity to play Fable, the Lost Chapters is your chance to experience a fabulous action RPG.
The fourth is at GameZone with an overall score of 8.7/10:
When Fable was released on XBox, the videogame industry was expecting a revolution in interactivity and gameplay never before seen. Apparently Peter Molyneux has a doctorate in Marketing with a concentration in Over Embellishment, because Fable wasn't as impressive as he hoped it would be. Nevertheless, Lionhead Studios saw the need to deliver it to personal computers everywhere. No, none of the things that were originally left out appear in The Lost Chapters. And if you already own the original title, there are no big reasons to add this to your cluttered PC hard drive as well. But for all its worth, Fable: The Lost Chapters holds its own as an innovating role-playing game and deserves its place in any new player's collection.
The fifth is at eToyChest with an overall score of 91/100:
It appears that The Lost Chapters will eventually make their way to the Xbox, though the added content, though substantial, is probably not enough to warrant a purchase from someone who played through the original version. The added benefits of playing this on the PC, however particularly the graphics certainly make this a worthy purchase for anyone, whether they owned the original version or not. The game offers a lot to do for any RPG aficionado, including a compelling story bundled into a non-linear package that affords something many RPG gamers want freedom to act as they please. Fable, with all it offers, is the perfect game for this type of freedom.
And the sixth is at Gamezilla with an overall score of "Recommended - Buy":
All things being equal, Fable: The Lost Chapters does something I never thought possible: It brings the excitement and life of an excellent game on the console to the PC, and does it well. You can tell the amount of love poured into this game, it really shows. An excellent title for anyone who enjoys adventure games, especially those who like the less linear feel that Fable has to offer.
