Story: You are back in Albion 500 years after Fable 1, (which is an awesome game - stands the test of time, truly) doing deeds (for good or bad) to stop the 'evil' ruler of the land from exterminating the only five people left who can stop him.
Review:  This game is immense.  there are less places to go, but the places you can go are HUGE.  you can do all the things from the first game we all loved, buy houses, have spouses male or female, you can start families, have jobs and omg my fave thing, you get a dog!  yeah i kno!!  a DOG!  how awesome is that!?  the dog helps you fight, and find treasure and keys and dig spots.  you get to name him, and buy him different collars and its SO much fun!!  I love that you can do evil things and your physical body changes as a result, and ppl act differently around you.  no matter how bad or good you are, there are certian things you have to do to progress in the game - but there is so much other stuff to do, really you don't notice the story line for hours, sometimes days into play.  ok, perhaps that's just me, but i'm just saying there's a lot to do.  the first part of the game you are a kid, and the decisions you make as a kid effect the world in positive/negative ways - completely changes town structures.
Likes: the dog!! you can marry whomever you want, the seer immenseness of the game.  the fighting is easy to pick up yet challenging.
Dislikes: the graphics are substandard when you put them up against other games that were made and released in the same time period.
