Fable 2 is the sequel to the ever-popular Fable on the original X-Box. After a 3year wait and with guns as a new major feature you can either choose a male or a female character. Again with the same points as the first game you start the game as a young child doing a few quests to get you used to the control system. You grow up after certain events/quests are complete. You character will get will lines which glow a neon blue the more you use will (spells) and you can customise their appearance such as hair style, hair colour, beards, moustaches as well as make up and tattoos.

The main story plot is set a five hundred years after the original Fable and yet again Albion needs your help to set everything right. Lucien Plans to be the ruler of Albion and you have to go on quests to find three Heroes to help you stop him, The Hero of Skill, The Hero of Strength and The Hero of Will.

The achievement scheme is not very hard but at the same time not easy. And if you chose to buy both expansion packs they will not only add more quests and open up more areas but they will add 100 gamer points from the first expansion which will set you back 800 microsoft points and the second will add 150 gamer points which will set you back only 560 microsoft points which really shocked me as out of the two expansions adds more areas and more content than the first.

The first expansion is Knothole Island which you will have to help the villagers there fix the weather by digging up various keys to towers. There is also a tomb where if you sacrificed your dog then you can lead a villager in and get your dog back as you will need him to do the quests on this map.

In the second Murgo will comeback and give you cursed items which transport you to several different places to help lift the curse off the item. I like this expansion more as you can go back as many times as you like and the areas are really well thought out.

All in all I love the game and I cant wait to see if they will release any more expansions.
