Okay, so it wasn't "open world" and it wasn't the best RPG game ever, but there isn't a soul on this earth who can argue this game isn't a huge improvement over Fable 1.

The combat system is basically the same, which is good for consistency. The weapons are great, MUCH better selection than in the first game. The only complaint I have here is the lack of any of the swords from the first game. Seriously, that would have been bitchin'. The armour, or "clothing" rather, sucks, but with the Knothole Island expansion you do get a pretty awesome set of armour. The enemies are also mostly the same, which is always good.

The maps are also phenomenal, even if they aren't as big as we thought they would be they're still rendered extremely well and are chock full of detail. The style of the game hasn't changed either, which would have seriously pissed me off.

My ONLY complaint is that you cannot roll around any time you want anymore. :( Rolling was much faster than walking or running, but now you can only do it in combat! Wtf! And bigger maps, that would be sweet too. And the story kind of sucked and was too easy to beat.

But that's it!
