“A solid remaster to one of my favorite games ever made. You have the option to play the original style which I like and the best part you can continue playing the game after you finish the main story which in the…”
“Not a very good remaster. As for the game itself, it is quite fun. A lot of the RPG mechanics just aren't very interesting but the combat is decently fun, with you being able to use melee, archery, and magic all at the…”
“I’ve had Fable Anniversary on my wishlist for a long time, and I finally picked it up recently. After putting some real time into it, I get why people still talk about this game. It’s genuinely enjoyable even all these…”

“While I prefer the old graphics, I enjoy a fresh coat of paint and a nostolgic walk through Albion. The controls feel VERY dated but if you can overcome that hurdle, the game retains a lot of it's original charm from…”
“I personally haven't played the first Fable, so it's nice seeing what kicked off the series in this game. It's a lot smoother in appearance to what it looked like prior. Although there are some explicit scenes and…”
“The graphics upgrade is fine it still suits the game quite well vs the OG xbox version. its word for word, scene for scene anyways.”

“My childhood! Might be rose-tinted glassed, but I love this game. Story and gameplay do it for me. It's super easy, good for people who are learning to play games. Maybe not suitable for children? I turned out fine…”
“Love this game. The story, character building and world will never get old, a fantastic RPG to this day. 10/10”
“It's a very good game, It's kinda short honestly, but the history is very concise and cool, the fight isn't that funny and the game is pretty easy, but aside from that, Amazing! Play it! note: It isn't very good on…”

“Played the fable games since I was a child. Has always been a game i will always return to. I can't wait for the release of the new game.”
“You'll finish this game and wonder when the ♥♥♥♥ gaming will catch up to this kind of experience. I'll always come back to play it one more time. Magical.”
“One of those games you can play over and over and never get tired of it.”

“You should only choose this version of the game if native controller support is important to you. This version of the game moved from their original proprietary engine to Unreal Engine 3. And man, can you really tell…”
“Another game I wish I could give a neutral review for. One of my favorite games from my teenage years, I played the hell out of this back in the day... that being said, I booted this up out of boredom and nostalgia…”
“A fun game. Haven't played this since the Xbox 360 days, but it's just as fun as I remember. Highly recommend. Controls are a little wonky when in arrow firing mode, but otherwise the controls ROCK!”

“Childhood game, love it, 10/10, nothing wrong with the game but I don't recommend this version. Better to buy Lost Chapters instead since Anniversary performs poorly.”
“I dunked so many hours into the original Fable games. This remaster is an absolute crap show. It struggles to play on modern systems especially those with widescreen monitors. Never had those issues with the old Fable…”

“Great game, it was great when it was released ages ago, but i cant recommend people purchase it cuz greedy Microsoft re-releases old games from licences they own now made in times when devs actually knew how to develop…”

“[h1]Fable Anniversary Review[/h1] [hr] [h1]Overview[/h1] Fable Anniversary… what a game, ladies and gentlemen. I came into this game knowing absolutely nothing about it. No gameplay, no story, nothing. I just saw it on sale, heard people say it was amazing, and thought,…”

This game was the answer to Nintendo's Zelda that Xbox players could also have their own epic coming of age adventure.
