Fable III
Overview 6/10
My most hotly anticipated game of 2010 turned out to be a turkey! Peter Molyneux has once again promised more than he can deliver. In his quest to make his rpgs accessible to non-gamers he has forgotton his core demographic. The reason some of us buy RPGs is that we bloody like them!
Sorry, rant over. This is still a mildly enjoyable game - although I find the new inventory rooms a bit of a pain. The plot line is a complete swizz though - 3/4 of the game is spent getting to the throne at which point you imagine you will have a bit of time but no. The forced passage of time seems unfair and speeds the game to a rather unsatisfactory conclusion.

Hints & Tips
- Don't bother doing all the friend quests, they are pretty much all fetch and retrieve very boring.
- Don't get your hopes up that you can have cool wings like in the trailers - you only end up having them for 2 mins
- If you liked fable, loved fable 2 and thought you would adore fable 3 think again - big disappointment
- Remember to look for Sunset House - you can find it near Mourningwood.
- I'm depressed now - someone remind me what was good about this game again?
