Although the masses won't be playing for another two weeks, a handful of
lucky critics have already gotten a chance to play through the entire adventure. And from the sound of it, they truly
enjoyed their time in Albion. Of course, no one has been willing to agree that this is "the greatest RPG of all time",
but Peter Molyneux's claim was destined to fall short along with many of the other lofty goals set for Fable nearly
four years ago. With so much hype surrounding this title, expect a lot of grumbling come September 14. Yes, it's short,
not 9 hours, but a seasoned gamer could run through in about 10-12. But a game like Fable isn't designed for speed.
After all, it is much less a story-driven epic than it is a fantasy played out in a sandbox (a really big and beautiful
sandbox). The developers are encouraging us to slow down, perhaps "live a little", and in doing so, we may find that
Fable has something to offer that's unique, groundbreaking, and most importantly, fun.
