Ok, I got Fable the day it came out. I beat fable after 20 hours of game time. I love the game. Its very good. A large problem with the perception of the game is M's ability to overhype what hes doing. If someone said this is simply the best action RPG to date with lots of neat shit you cant do in most RPG's there would be ZERO disappointment. I played the game through as a selfish, roguish person. Not evil, not good. About halfway through something happened, due to a boast I made. I had to choose whether to complete the boast and make money or not and remain sort of decent. I completed the boast, did the "Bad Thing" and my alignment paid the price. After that it was a quick descent into evil. The point of the game is it will be different for everyone and different everytime you play it. Is it the super reaching thing it was initially predicted to be years ago? No. Hopefully it will be on the XBox 2. Is it a great game totally worth the price? Yeah. I mean, people get hung up on length. But for quality vs quantity this game proves the argument quality should win everytime.
Also, if you consider, most of us pay $6-$8 for a movie ticket, not counting popcorn and shit. Thats 2 hours, or $3-$4/hr. . Playing through at a leisurely pace I beat fable in 20 hours. $2.5/hr. Plus its mine. I own it, its interactive, I can replay it at my leisure. For those who blaze through it in 10 hrs, thats still $5 an hour. Not bad for your entertainment dollar.
