Off the success of Fable 2, I think myself and a lot of others had higher hopes for 3, but were a bit let down by the end product. I think the game has some fantastic ideas and it tries to make good on all of them, but ends up falling short in a few areas. The third act of the game being the weakest, once you become the ruling Monarch, again the ideas are there but the choices you have to make end up feeling a little hollow in some instances, and unfair in others. Not every scenario should be black and white, and to have your early triumphs be boiled down to a 50/50 choice falls a bit flat in the late game. Nonetheless, still an enjoyable fable experience and without the heights of 2 as its predecessor, I think this one could have stood a little taller.
