Apparently the American review, I havn't seen this around so I thought I'd post it. Although everyone should know about it.

There are no real spoilers, a few if you've read no infomation about it, but nothing on the actual story or many of the characters.

Is 9.5 a good score, considoring Fallout 3 apparently got 10...
Not really at this stage of the industry, Every game can get a 10 so easily.
True, look at GTA4.

Wait for a few more reviews. The review just seemed to gush about the things we already knew.

I figured it'd be a -good- game, Fable was a -good- game. I want more depth though. Anyone else feel like this review lacked depth?

Do you know what OXM stands for?

When I read it, it kind of sounded more like a preview than a review. They didn't talk about the story and didn't go too deeply into the good vs evil aspects or how I will affect the game around you. Sounds good though. But the review seemed to lack a lot of information.

Hmph. I don't care if Fable 2 got a 0 or a 10. I pre-ordered it based on my own judgement, and I will play it.

Yeah, but its not like a Nintendo or a Playstation mag would act any differently.
I'm more alarmed at the fact that every publication except two scored it higher than 8/10.
Which means every reviewer is corrupt. Or that... you know... it was a good game.

You don't find that pattern at all unusual - complete consensus? It's bizarre if you ask me.
How did GTA4 do? And the Orange box? I would assume they'd get nigh on universal praise.

Consensus happens. Like during the Salem Witch Trials.

OK, I guess I misheard.

One interesting thing though, surprisingly, games for windows magazine isn't as full of shit as you would expect it to be. Amazing how that's a rarity nowadays.

I just read the review (thanks for posting it, by the way) and at the end where it shows you the games score I was a little disappointing to hear there aren't other dogs in the game. Because I thought it would be kind of cool to have my dog breed and have puppies for my family.
