FABLE: The Lost Chapters

Good game, but too short.

The idea behind this game drew me to it because it just sounded great and I found it largely met my expectations.

Graphics:
The graphics for the game are pretty good if your Mac can support all the details on max. Some areas are a little dark at times, but you can see what you're doing. Sometimes the graphics do get a little 'blocky' or look a bit weird but it doesn't effect the game play.
Sound:
Decent sounds and the area music and battle music is pretty good. The NPC speech is a nice effect as it gives a sense of realism when walking through towns. The noises can be really eerie at times, ie when you're in a ghost town and there are voices whispering.
Story Line:
There isn't really much of a story line until about mid-way through the game. Up until that point you're just doing quests for people. The story line is pretty good when it appears, it does have both surprising and predictable moments though.
Controls:
Once you set yourself up with some good controls it becomes very easy to play and you can become very adept at combat. It's just remembering all the controls that's the problem!
Entertainment Value:
The game itself is pretty good fun to play although the constant hacking and slashing can become tedious. One of the game's major faults is that it is far too short. I completed it in about 13 hours on my first go through which was disappointing and the final boss was incredibly easy. After the game you are free to roam the land though which is a plus.

Overall I'd give it 4/5
