Fable: The Lost Chapters Game Review I (Game Culture)

*please note possible spoilers*

The introduction into to fable is about a young boy who ends up losing his family to a bunch of theives. The young boy watches in horror as his entire town is ambushed, friends being killed, and worst of all watching his family being tortured into telling them where he is. The father is slaughtered and mother and sister are taken away. The boy later is rescued by a man named Maze. He tells the boy of a Guild, a guild of heroes, and he can seek his revenge after training there. This is where the story really begins. Through out the training he learns how to melee, use a bow, and how to use his will power. In other words his magic. I have finally finished the training and in progress of seeking revenge.

This game has a great story line so far. It does have its flaws though, for one thing the graphics are not what you would call to great. The shadows are boxy in which there are horizontal and vertical lines creating a shadow of pretty much nothing. And the last flaw I saw was the animation. A girl walks down the stairs and it was like she was sliding down them. Each step was missed and her feet going through the ground. Unless she has magical powers of sliding down the carpet then I am not sure.

Now the good parts about this game was as I mentioned before the story line. I don't focus much on graphics really, it is the storyline and plot that makes a game to me. I only compared the graphics to other games. What also is good is that during the training part they teach you how to move, how to pull weapons out and other various keys used through out the game. So even a beginner could easily figure out the keys by the end. It is simple and well based. What makes this game unique then the rest is that it is also time based. In which over time you will age and grow up. The decisions you make will also determine if your good or evil or even both. Each side having a different reaction to how people treat you.
