Fable vs. Halo 2

[penguin_king]

which is better? i personally (seeing as i totally suck at games where i cant see whats behind me) prefer Fable and think that the new game will totally blaze the rgp market for a very long time.

i like them both about the same if you ask me

Hmm... that seems like asking, "Blonde or brunette - which is better?" Who cares? They're both great!

But seriously, I do think Fable and Halo2 are both great games. Like FableFreak, I like them about the same. I just recently bought my Xbox and I bought these two games to go with it. I find myself switching back and forth between them depending on the circumstances. Sometimes I feel like relaxing, exploring, questing, and fighting in the world of Fable. Other times I'm in the mood for more action and feel like splattering the walls with alien innards.

Also, it depends on how much time I have for a gaming session. I don't usually play Fable unless I have a few hours to kill, since I like to play at a leisurely pace, exploring all the nooks and crannies and doing the side quests. If you're more of a power-gamer and you like to plow through, you might be disappointed with the relative ease and short duration of the main Fable storyline (there are plenty of posts about that all over the 'net). If I only have a short time to play, Halo2 fits the bill. However, I just completed Halo2 the other day so I guess I'll be primarily in Fable mode for a while.

The other factor is multiplayer mode. I haven't gotten into multiplayer Halo2 yet, but by most accounts the multiplayer is awesome!

In summary, I give 'em both two thumbs up. If I HAD to choose, I guess I'd give the edge to Halo2, but only because I'm an old FPS fan since the days of original Doom for PC. Not to mention that the reason I bought my Xbox was because I really loved Halo for PC and could not resist the call of Halo2.

i like both games, but i think fable is better. halo2 is fun, but bungie added too much stuff which didnt make it too much fun... i like fable a little more cuz i basically like rpgs where u can make ur character stronger and look cool

It depends of what type of games you like. AS for me, I love both...

i agree...

as for which game is better... lol... it's a bit weird to compare an RPG to a FPS, as both are very different games, but if i had to choose, i'd rather play Halo 2...

*waits for the boo's*

lol... Halo 2 is the best Xbox game out so far, forget the rest, Halo is the best! but Fable is good in it's own right =P

I'm a huge RPG fan, but Halo 2 is fantastic, without doubt the best XBOX game. I was a little dissappointed with Fable, although I thought it was great for the first 2-3 days I owned. Aside from the graphics, sound effects and freedom - the plot is dull and the game is too short. Also a bit like Xmen legends it can be a bit of a button basher.

My favourite RPG is BGII- SOA and Neverwinter Nights is great too.

To use metaphor (as I so frequently do)...
This question is like asking which is better, frying pan or wok(the flat bottom pan they use to make most chinese food) and the answer, without contest, is the wok (which, in this metaphor, is representing Halo 2), which is better designed, more visually appealing, and produces a more tasty experience

i personally like fable =P but then it really depends on far youv played into the games, havnt played too far into halo2 cause i dont have it and then again im not all into fps's, whereas im easily hooked on rpg's (although fable is extremely short)
