I couldn't fully appreciate the new visuals and animations thanks to technical problems that hinder the game in motion. I can't fault Fable Anniversary too much for sticking to its roots, but I certainly expected it to perform better on the 360. I still enjoyed retracing my steps through the journey, but the lack of any content additions deflated some of my enthusiasm along the way. After the novelty of the new graphics wears off, this feels exactly the way it did 10 years ago It has no surprises or anything that breathes new life into the gameplay. That faithfulness is great for purists, but it doesn't inspire much excitement. You also get some Smartglass features, a retooled interface that makes menu navigation less of a pain, as well as an optional new control scheme that makes combat and exploration better.Īll of the tweaks are nice, but they don't fundamentally alter Fable's core the quests, dialogue, and items haven't changed (apart from some downloadable weapons and item you can get for an additional fee). No one will mistake Fable Anniversary for a cutting-edge title, but the artistic improvements help recreate a version of Albion that lives up to your memories rather than the reality of the Xbox original.
In this HD version, all of the content has received a significant visual upgrade, with graphics and lighting effects closer to the Xbox 360-native sequels. Regardless of the path you choose, the story chronicles your hero's rise to prominence and – in The Lost Chapters missions following the original game – the events after your legend is secure. Alternately, it might be built on evil acts, like stealing and exploiting the weak. Your persona might be built upon benevolent acts, like defending those in need. Using a combination of magic, swordplay, and archery, you complete quests and build a reputation. Fable casts the player as a hero in a fantasy world, though the term "hero" doesn't necessarily mean you're noble heroes in the Fable universe try to build renown through good or bad deeds. Fable Anniversary is a faithful recreation of the things that made the first entry special, giving old and new players the opportunity to experience the adventure with some modern touches.įable Anniversary includes the original game, as well as The Lost Chapters expansion that released a year later.

Though the series continues to evolve, none of the later installments have the magic of the original Fable and its mixture of action, fantasy, and storybook sensibilities.
