The thing I like the most about Fable 2 is it doesn't take itself seriously at all. There's some story about some guy building some big evil tower for some reason - but who cares? This is a great big world for you to run around and be an idiot it. Impress the townsfolk by dressing like an chicken and farting, or perhaps become a demon dominatrix with a harem of spouses (either gender works) and spend your time scaring little children. It's all up to you. If you're looking for something with balanced, tactical, gameplay, then look elsewhere. The game provides you with so many potions and resurrection phials, and the weapons and abilities are so over the top, that the thing is ridiculously easy. So much so that after three play throughs, I've yet to die once. I recall giving up on the first Fable because the combat mechanics were so cumbersome, but this "fix" really seems to over compensate as there is no challenge to this game at all. I also don't like how you seem to warp from one area to another. For me this removes any feeling of immersion in a world. This left me caring little for the story and even less for the characters (other than my dog, of course).
But perhaps I'm nick-picking. It's hard to dis a game that gives you achievements for getting people drunk and sleeping with multiple partners.
