Fable 2 is the best damn game I’ve played all year.  Period. Since the media embargoes are all ending today, I think you’ll see that I’m not alone in believing this.  Everything from the first game has been dramatically improved and I really do believe this is Peter Moleneux’s best game to date. Sure there are a few things I’m unhappy with (a lot of it to do with co-op), but I haven’t had this much fun playing an RPG is as long as I can remember.

Obviously this game is currently my front-runner for game of the year.  I’m expecting Fallout 3 and Gears of War 2 to also be strong contenders but at this point  I’m not so sure they’ll be match my love for this game.

One of the most fascinating things about this game is how different everyone’s world is.  Talking with my twitter-friends reveals that we’re all having completely varied experiences based on the choices we’ve made.  And those choice? NOT OBVIOUS.  I can’t say too much without the possibility of massive spoilers but I will say that I was making choices without realizing it… BIG ONES.  If you want to get a lot more out of this game when you pick it up tomorrow… be sure to share your experience with other players.  It adds a lot to the experience.
