I may be going out on a limb here considering Little Big Planet, Far Cry 2, and countless other titles will be hitting store shelves over the the next few months, but I don’t care. After playing through the world of Fable II and considering the impression it made on me, I can say, without a doubt, that Fable II is 2008’s game of the year.
Now, I know that Dan Ackerman told us all last week that Dead Space should top the list for this year’s best game, but I have to disagree.
But then again, Fable II is an acquired taste. It’s not the kind of game that will make the world rejoice, but it’s the kind of game that any person who enjoys a fantastic storyline, even better gameplay, and a living, breathing world, will enjoy. In other words, the Wii gamer–someone who only enjoys playing Wii Sports or Wii Fit–will probably look at Fable II as a relic of the past that holds little merit. But for the rest of us–those that love gaming and enjoy varying styles of gameplay–Fable II will sit atop our lists as one of the best games we’ve ever played.
Trust me. It’s that good.
