Fable: The Lost Chapters

I am happy because I hedged my bets by not purchasing the original when it came out for x-box. Now, I got the upgrade at a bargain price.

It was entertaining for a short while until I realized there wasn't really anything to do. The game prides itself on being totally free and allowing you to live a life where you deside the fate of the hero. This isn't remotely true. Nothing you do every has any impact at all on the game world. It's pretty much just hack and slash with a very customizable character. Once I realized this, I couldn't be bothered to keep playing.

That's a big gripe of mine, too. It always bothered me to see on the back of the package "For every choice - a consequence." The only consequence, if anything, is a few good or evil points. You can easily reverse the affect, if any, if the points weren't the desired outcome.
