fable be a game that aim way too high and have no chance of do anything but come up short of gamer ' expectation . yes , it be a good game . yes , it be worth playing . no , it be probably not worth buying , nor be it as deep and realistic as its creator profess . the game be short . I beat it in 12 hour and that include a fair amount of screw around . this be unacceptable consider it be developer claim that fable would be the greatest rpg ever make . the game be easy . if you be good at videogame , you will find this game easy . they say you can `` boast '' to make you mission harder , and while this can make indiviual mission tougher , it be not enough to make the overall game experience more difficult . the good\/evil idea be a good \* idea \* . implement it in a way that be satisfy to the player have yet to be achieve by any game and it would appear we have a long way to go . ca not really blame the developer for try but the morality element be painfully two-dimensional . the action be good . combat be fun and addictive . there be a good amount of skill and powerup to choose from when spend you experience , but again , the extremely short length of the game make all you careful experience spending feel waste . the story blow . take a stereotype fairytale and take away a few hour and you have fable 's story . the game be novel at first . it trick you . but as you play more you see that , at best , fable be a good action\/adventure game : not the ultimate good\/evil rpg that some have hope for . Rent it .
