SummaryOverall Fable: The Lost Chapters was a very good game. It

was well developed and addressed most, if not all, of the major problems with the original Fable, and the game’s strengths more then outweighed it’s weaknesses.

I would recommend buying this game to anyone interested in a fast paced action RPG. Though anyone who already has the original Fable would probably find that the additions to the game would not make it worth buying Fable: The Lost Chapters
