Fable: The Lost Chapters is not only a great buy for PC gamers without an Xbox, but even if you have played the console version it’s still entertaining...
Fable: The Lost Chapters review:
Fable, last year’s Xbox RPG hit from Lionhead Studios and developer mastermind Peter Molyneux, was a fantastic game that finally brought an epic RPG experience to Microsoft’s console. Like many of Molyneux’s games however, the finished product, as impressive as it was, didn’t quite live up to the substantial hype the game had garnered throughout its development cycle and many of the touted groundbreaking features that were promised to make Fable the best RPG ever weren’t exactly realized to their fullest. Beyond that, heavy criticism also befell Fable in regards to its disappointingly brisk length. To combat some of these negatives points, Lionhead went back to work on a pseudo-expansion pack, entitled Fable: The Lost Chapters, that would not only be released on the Xbox (as a Platinum Hits title no less) but on the PC platform as well to give a broader audience the chance to explore the breathtaking fantasy world of Albion. Introducing an expanded storyline and new quests, regions, side missions, monsters, spells, weapons, armor and expressions on top of the Xbox game’s original content, The Lost Chapters delivers a longer, more robust game while leaving the core gameplay intact.
Fable: The Lost Chapters review:
Autumnal trees scream color the way Emeril Lagasse screams "bam!" and rarely has there been such a rich synthesis of hue and atmosphere, like the sun setting behind blue-white mountain crags as snow begins to fall, or the creepy feeling you get when sneaking along a dim, torch-lit thicket past a pack of snarling Balverines (werewolves) as thunder claws around the gray clouds above.
Fable: The Lost Chapters review:
The bottom line is, even despite the fact it is a console port, Fable: TLC is still a great all-round RPG on a platform which has had its far share of great RPG's - just don't expect it to be little more than a short term distraction.
