The life of a hero, from childhood to adulthood, narrated according to the ideas of a master of video games such as Peter Molyneux. After four years of arduous development Fable is finally here in our Xbox, bringing with him an entire fantasy world to explore, save, or even terrorize. A fairytale come true or just one of many stories already heard?
seemed would never come, eternally suspended in a state of perpetual development. But here he is, Fable, probably discussed and postponed the game more in recent years with titles like Half-Life 2 and Gran Turismo 4. Promised as a revolution in the world of RPGs, Fable has been continuously promoted by its founder and patron, Peter Molyneux, a real guru in the world of videogames author
of historic title as Populos, Syndicate, Magic Carpet and Theme Park. The hype generated by each statement Molyneux has grown to such an extent that many have begun to wait for Fable as a real event, something that can revolutionize a genre and rise Olympus masterpieces. Some, more suspicious, he preferred to remember a similar procedure followed in recent years by Black & White (revealed then "just" an interesting variation on the theme of Populous) and before that with Dungeon Keeper (hit the stores with a fraction of the features announced during development). The answer to these expectations is now here before us and has brought only a part of the amazing features announced over the years (and falling as they approached the date of publication): it will remain sufficient to meet the expectations and do not trigger a crushing disappointment? FOUR YEARS OF CHILDBIRTH
From the earliest times of appearance on the scene (even when the game was called Project Ego) has begun to discuss the innovative features of the new "darling" Peter Molyneux. A button called Albion and dynamic world that evolves and grows along with our hero. There was talk of a simulation is accurate under a plan "physical" (with trees growing, people are getting older and consequences of the actions of the player that spread over time) both on the strictly "social" (one of the people of Albion had to be animated by an artificial intelligence comparable to that of the creatures of the previously mentioned Black & White). In addition, there was talk of multiplayer options, the ability to compete with other heroes and even import other people's characters in the game world.

E 'right to speak in the past about these features because they are virtually all lost in the final stages of game development, cut away to a whole series of problems (maybe technical, conceptual, or just time).
What remains, therefore, the original concept of Fable / Project Ego? Hard to tell at a glance: the game has turned into a more canonical Action RPG "strengthened" by an interesting substrate for social interaction and evolution of the character. Enough to create a unique game and innovative enough, but at the same time too little to stay abreast of the towering expectations mounted over the past four years. The review is concerned, however, to analyze what a game has to offer and not what was supposed to contain, and fortunately in Fable, smoking aside, the meat is still very much on fire.
THE ADVENTURE OF A LIFE
We can basically divide the adventure Fable in three distinct phases of our hero's life: childhood, adolescence and adulthood. The first two have a role closely represent two distinct and practical tutorials that explain the early interactions with the world of play (children) and the combat system and growth Our hero (adolescence), while establishing the storyline (told by some frescoes). Complete these two introductory stages (well done and very useful, lasting about two hours), the player is awarded the title Hero dall'apposita guild and let out into the world of Albion. And 'Here begins the real adventure of Fable, to be precise, in the main room of the Heroes' Guild, the institution which regulates the activity of the heroes in the land of Albion.
