Fable: The Lost Chapters Review

Gamers With Jobs has published a review of Fable: The Lost Chapters, and although they don't give the RPG an overall score, it sounds like they didn't like it as much as most people:
Fable is not a bad game from an action perspective, but neither is it particularly outstanding. As a CRPG, however, it's a pale comparison to the dramatically more detailed and more interesting worlds offered before. Much maligned for its short plot, I found myself relieved to be through with the game, ten hours apparently being about the volume of time for which I could muster enthusiasm or enjoyment. Playing Fable in the current drought of CRPGs is like drinking from a dusty hose after working under a hot sun all day; you're grateful for any water you can get, but it wouldn't have been your first choice.
