Fable is a decent point-and-click adventure from Telstar that unfortunately
got very little notice due to lack of fanfare, limited distribution, and the general
slump in adventure game genre. The plot is typical fantasy mumbo-jumbo: you control
Quickthorpe, who is tasked with finding the four fabled jewels to restore his land to
former peace. Overall, Fable had a lot of potential that was not quite fulfilled. The
dialogue and the ending were disappointing, as was the lack of any real depth to the
story. On the other hand, the adventuring components are enjoyable if you like this
style of graphic adventure. Experienced players may find it to be a bit too easy,
but it's certainly entertaining enough to provide light relief between tougher games
and offers a reasonable challenge to players new to the genre. |
