Did You Catch That One Fable 2 Episode Where…
For anyone who subscribes to the Xbox newsletter, you probably noticed that Fable 2 has now been put up on the marketplace in episodes. I’ve been wanting to play this for quite some time, but after deciding to get some other games first, I just forgot about it. Luckily, the first episode is free and offers a surprising amount of playtime. Depending how much you run around looking for other items, you could easily get two hours out of it. The game’s quite a bit different than Fable 1, and interacting with people has been improved. Actually, almost everything has been improved.
I wanted to just get the rest of the episodes, but they are huge! I still have one of the original 20GB hard drives, and the first episode alone takes up 2GB. Episode 2 is a little over 4, and I’m unsure how big the other three are. The only place you can see the size and price ($10/800 points each) for the next episode is in the game when you’ve reached the end of your current episode. The size isn’t the only problem though. With four more episodes priced at $10 each, by the time you got the whole game, you’d have dropped $40. The game can be bought new for $30, and used for around $25. It should also be noted that you can’t get any achievements until you get episode 2 or the disc. I think I’m going to go for the disc, but I highly recommend you try out the first episode if you haven’t played the game yet.
