Game Summary Fable 2 takes place 500 years after the first game, in a colonial era where weapons remain primitive and castles and towns have developed rather than cities. The protagonist, a young child at the start of the game, is part of a heroic lineage and is called "Sparrow". Sparrow's sister is killed early on, and Sparrow almost is killed as well, by a man named Lord Lucien. However, he survives and is taken in by a blind woman named Theresa. Jumping forward in time, she reveals that Sparrow must save the world from Lucien's evil plans. Sparrow must find three other heroes in order to end Lucien's reign, developing his skills and relationships as he progresses and making choices that lead the player to be good or evil. There are several games similar to the Fable franchise, two of which include Overlord and Oblivion. Overlord's decision-making option to be evil or extremely evil is tied to Fable's good versus evil decisions. The outcome of the game is entirely in the hands of the player.1.1.

The music works well with the scenes and changes accordingly.8.4. Sound EffectsEvery action has a sound effect. Eating, digging, finding coins, shooting, the details of the sound effects are very visible and improve the gameplay immensely. Works CitedGoldstein, Hilary. GDC 2008: Fable 2 Co-op Preview.
