Fable: The Lost Chapters Review

[GameBanshee News]

PC Review has tossed up a two-page review of Fable: The Lost Chapters, and while they don't give the RPG an overall score, it sounds like they had a few reserveations. Take a look:

Fable: The Lost Chapters ultimately fails thanks to the ambitions nature of its good versus evil ideology. While the ability to play through as either the saviour or as the ultimate villain is a delightful prospect, it is far too black and white to be as interesting as it could have been. However, this one major shortcoming can not hide the fact that this new updated Fable release is a wonderful action based RPG, with some glorious graphics and a whole wealth of additional features over the Xbox original. Ultimately this proves to be a delightful romp, playing as either the hero or the villain. Recommended, but you can not help but feel that it has not reached it's true potential.

The "additional features" alluded to in the review it refers to as " encompassing additional quests (in both the main storyline and side quests), extra spells and extra weapons out there to find." I never knew throwing in a few more spells or weapons were regarded as features, nor quests, for that matter. And we're never told how many quests, or whether any of the incredibly short quests of the original xbox version were finally fleshed out.
