Review

I hate long term deep cover missions... I was away for a long time possing as a Craionian commander on some obscure deep space station in the ship's path to make sure they are not a threat to the group. And I hate possing as a commander in Craionian bases cause they are always so good and caring and benevolent, they even pay from their own money to support the national army, which is tottaly useless I might say but whatever.

Fable 3 is a game all about choices, each step in the game offers you the choice to be evil or good, to be loved or feared and the best part is that they are both balanced, for example if you are good you will be poor but with many allies, if you are evil you will be rich and badass but with many enemies. It is a good game and the best about it is that they now realised that this game is a great action-adventure game but it is a crappy RPG and they removed most of the RPG elements they had in the other fable games, in spite the fact that most shops call it an action-rpg I say that they don't get what rpg means.

Gameplay: Very easy and standard controls for action medieval style games. The battles are intresting and the spells are cool. I was really excited about the guns though :D I was the fastest draw in the kingdom ;) Also there are some nice minigames such as a smack-a-skeleton minigame. Finally if you are low on money you can always work as a blacksmith, a pie-maker or a musician to make some quick cash. And of course you can buy whole cities and rend them out to collect the cash monthly.

Story: Great story with some twists and choices. The fact that you keep playing even after you become a king is really good and it's something that I haven't seen in many games. Also I like the fact that the story and the champion are connected to the ones of the previous games. I must mention the awesome intro video the game has.

Graphics: Nice animations and not-so-bad design. The truth is that I expected much more from microsoft designers especially after seeing the graphics of the other two games but it is obvious now that they care only about XBOX and Kinnect... It is playable though and some years back I would call them cool but now they seem old.
