Was the game worth the 130$ I paid to play it (without giving away spoilers)? Absolutely, especially when you consider how many games there are that are 80$ asking price for about 1/4th of the fun.
FABLE 3 FREE ROAM HOW TO
I didn't think I was going to do well at the no-controller controls, but after about 20 mins of driving the cart and learning how to use the spells, I was enjoying myself immensely.
The attachment you gain with your horse, the new parts of Albion, and all the characters in the game in general are as irreplaceable as the gameplay. The storytelling is fabulous and links all the previous games to make what really is a 15-hour epilogue of the entire trilogy, at the end of which you feel as though you have really accomplished something. Yes, certain segments of the game are on a rail, but this game- not once- is ever tedious or boring. Yes, there are RPG elements with regard to upgrading your horse's abilities, your spells, and your stats. No, there are no towns or open-world quests. I watched about 45 mins of gameplay and decided I would take the plunge. I love all the Fable titles, but considering that this game is a Kinect exclusive, I did research before investing.
Since I did not have a Kinect before I purchased this game, I wanted to be sure that the game was worth the 100$ for the apparatus itself (plus the 30$ for the game). Even you don't, I would still recommend it :) It is quite an experience. If you've already own Kinect like me, I would definitely recommend this game. But I can play this game while sitting and relaxed and I can play for long without being covered with sweat like other Kinect games! The game experience is nicely and gently presented and works as a whole, unlike a collection of mini games that other Kinect games tend to be. Most of the other Kinect games require me a huge effort to stand up and work out, which has been a turn-off for me especially after coming back from work exhausted. Most of the other Kinect games require me a huge effort to stand up and work out, which has been a turn-off for me especially after I was sceptic at first, but when I learned that I could physically cast magic at enemies I felt I really had to give a go - and it turned out that it really worked for me and I found myself enjoying it very much!! This seated play also is a great thing.
