Fable II Review
We all know that Fable 2 was an Epic release for Lionhead, Microsoft and the Xbox 360 community. Fable 1 was fun but ultimately it disappointed me. Leading up to Fable 2′s release AngryJoe has probably made more Fable 2 related videos than any other game that came before.
Here we all it all leads up to this, AngryJoe’s Comedic Angry Review of Fable 2 – This Review Parody Video was so Epic that it had to be Split into two parts!
We titled this one “NegaReview” because we knew we were going to BASH on it almost the entire time, even though ultimately we liked the game and rated it well.
Check out Part 1:
The Parodies in Part 1 were great fun to film!
“Blacksmith” Tons0Fun
First I was Fuggin’ Pissed Off that they had bragged about hundreds and hundreds of weapons and items, etc. When in actually it was really just the same 50 something weapons over and over labeled different things. Like Rusty Sword, slightly Used Sword and Previously Sneezed on Sword – BULLSHIT – and “Blacksmith” Tons0Fun helps illustrate that point!
Fable Officespace Faxmachine/Crates
This was so much fun to parody you have no idea, I demand all angryjoers film their own Officespace parodies and submit them on your youtube account so we can all enjoy them. Here I get fuggin’ pissed off at the jagoff crates in BOTH Fable games where there NEVER ANYTHING IN THE DAMN THINGS. ….WHY! is this some kinda SICK JOKE! by the devs? They even make fun of you for it in one of the loading screens? How about I beat them down and laugh in their face just like these damn Banana Boxes i picked up from my local grocery store. Yea I know the parody is a little long but if you tried it you’d understand why.
Treasure Chest Animation Cut-Scene
Just one word for this design choice in the game, Why?
The GOD-Awful Half-Assed Cooperative
This was probably the Feature I was looking forward to most, and guess what happened? They Fucked it up! Thats why I went into the Rare “Hyper Anger Mode” where My powers Double, Hell Triple – Tons0Fun is lucky that long ago I gave him a piece of spacerock that he keeps in his pocket so that he doesnt get hurt when I throw turbo punches like I did in the video at 6:51 minutes in the video.
SUCK MY EXPERIENCE BITCHES!
And why do I need to SUCK in experience to my body? Did I not just swing the sword myself? So I will forget how to swing the sword well if I dont suck up this stupid orb that floated out of this guys dead?!
I know its a long post, but On to Part 2!
In part 2 we try to come together to talk about all the Cool Stuff in the game:
Brown Monk
The Good and Evil story choices were pretty intense to make a decision on, here the Brown Monk tries to have it both ways but fails, horribly..
I’m Rich BITCH!
Another cool aspect of the game, Greed. Makin’ Money!

Hi Joe Im ……………. Im Gonna Review Fable II It Was Ok The Graphics Are Beautiful The Action Was Ok But Hammer Is Annoying I Give It A 7/10 Known As An Ok Game
Well, I have only played the single player campeign for an hour or two but I bought this thinking it would be a 3rd person Elder scrolls-esque game but I was wrong. I give it a 6 out of 10 because the graphics are awesome and it is polished.
In my opinion fable 2 is an okey game, but compared to Fable 1 and the money put into this game and what they came up with I’d say a 5/10 and compared to fable 1 which is an 8/10 for me, its bad as hell!
I actually skipped Fable 2 and went straight to 3 after falling in love with the first one. And I have to say, that was the biggest disappointment I’ve ever had with any game, EVER! I decided to roll a gunner, and after a shit ton of playing the game, I realise that even though I kept thinking to myself “I’m sure the new skills just come a little later on in the game” or “I’ve only played for five hours, I’m sure this game’ll get better”, NO! NO! IT DOESN’T! The only skill I’ve ever even seen with a gun is shooting. Nothing else. Where are the awesome multi-arrows, the dashes, berserks, summon spells, life drains, slow times? All of that good stuff? But NO! The only skill tree that gets any new skills seems to be magic, which blows monkeyballs! I FEEL CHEATED!
Fable 2 had a short buzz…then it slowly died it. Lack of convience, dumbed down magic and upgrade system, half the weapons from the first are gone, and no f**king armor!
2/10
Joe and Other Guy: 8.0 and 8.5 out of 10
Site: 6 out of 10
i am confused
i would give it a perfect 10/10! it was that good!
@ stephario
Stewie and Brian destroying Peter’s “Surfin’ Bird” record is actually a spoof of a scene from the movie “Office Space”, replacing the office printer with the record.
IT IS A 3/10 for me
I know this review was uploaded long time ago, but whats up with the score? In the video, both of you two have given scores higher than 8, but the rating on the upper right corner is 6. Even if you did arithmetic mean to these scores, it should be higher than a 6. Anybody knows why?
Well, you see NNecro, it’s like this. For the sake of easier calculations, lets make Angry Joe’s score an 8/10.
Now, let’s combine the two scores. 8 + 8 = 16. 10 + 10 = 20. Therefore the total of both scores added together is a 16/20. Do you follow me so far? Yes? Good.
Now we still need to get this score to a “something out of ten” score for the sake of both easier scoring and to post it on the website. Now the easiest way to do this is to simply subtract 10.
16 – 10 = 6. 20 – 10 = 10. Therefore you get a total of 6/10.
That wasn’t so bad was it? I hope this answered your question satisfactorily, or in the very least, made you fall over on the ground laughing. ————————-Tributed to the math of Ma and Pa Kettle.
If you viewers didn’t know the scene when Angry Joe and the other guy beat up the crates? It’s a spoof of when Stewie and Brian destroyed Peter’s “The Bird is the Word” record.
THE GLITCHS: FAME DISSAPEAR FOR NO FUCKING REASON.
FLAWS;
NO WAY TO HEAL THE SCARS
RANDOM ENEMY KILLS THE PERSON(ex: soulmate) YOUR WITH ITS FRUSTRATING ESPECIALY FOR CERTAIN QUEST
THE VILLAGERS COME OUT OF FUCKING NOWERE APEARING AND HUGGING THE SHIT OUTA ME.
I didn’t think it was that bad a game, but it certainly wasn’t anything spectacular.
It’s fun, it’s got quite a few good ideas to back it up, like the marriage system, the magic and those effects, and that motherf***ing dog! He kicks so much ass that whenever we’re done with the bandits they have to wear their buttocks as hats and taste shit whenever they swallow! The story is pretty solid too, the main characters are pretty interesting and the voice acting isn’t that bad on their behalf either.
Even so, it’s also a bit on the shit side of video game land. How about that dry humor, those immortal children littering the land like so much annoying as f*** ones and zeros can manage, or those charming British, British, British, BRITISH voice actors?
I had to force myself not to slice every passer byers throat and roast the guards with the area of effect doomfire vortex that I dragged around to every battle because the enemy swarms around you like a triple c***ed hooker.
Despite all complaints, its still pretty enjoyable. Even though it tends to get pretty boring in the end when you can annihilate all resistance before you with a cough.
But like I said, its pretty fun in its own way, and when it comes to games, that’s what really matters.
I am giving Fable II a 7/10
In my opinion the game was rather easy which was a disappointment for me, no difficulty setting either which they should have.
The world feels a bit “eh”, I may be spoiled a bit after having tried Red Dead where they had like these tiny events all over the world which made it feel alive whereas Fable only have enemies and occasional traders walking around but I still get that feeling sometimes.
I agree with Joe that the empty crates are lame (They are kinda made for storing things), but it’s something I rather quickly forgot about and accepted as a part of the game.
I dislike that you don’t have enough interactions related to affection such as hugging your child or something and that you have to find and learn most interactions. I can understand a few things such as seduce, but how fucking hard is it to laugh at someone?
Which leads to another thing I dislike: The children feels artifical. They don’t act any diffrent from other children other than calling you mom/dad and having a picture above their heads which leads to little emotional value atleast for myself.
What pisses me off the most however is the corridors. Especially in Wraithmarsh I wanted to explore the old zone of Oakvale and see the surronding area and the likes, but unfortuantely the game decides my character is too retarded to climb over a rock or two and as a result leaves me with the options of either going up or down with little in between.
The game can also get a tad boring after you complete the main story line, but sometimes it’s fun to just take it easy and walk around and do whatever you feel like.
And because it keeps me playing every now and then I’d give it a 6.5/10
I liked Fable 2 ok. But the thing that really dissapointed me was the ending. That boss fight was pretty sad. I was excited and expected something epic, but only one arrow and he was dead. :/
OKay here it is my rating is a Fucking 5/10
I thought Fable 2 was really good. Co-op sucked, but i never really use co-op in games like this. 9/10
I dont know, i havent played Fable 2.
i woud give Fable 2 a 5 out of 10 but why the FUCK is it so dam easy and short i mean i was pretty pissed and Fable TLC was freakin epic 10 out of 10.
At 7:50 that will never happen now, Joe would’ve kicked those guy’s ass. Also I rate this game 3/10
PM should be shot for fable 2 and hung for fable 3 and run over by a buick for fable 4 that is undoubtfully coming
Good Points: Nice Storyline, loved going evil and blowing the shit out of doors and windows (and the odd person too), nice graphics and loving the morality system, cool combat, love the love, marriage and sex idea, many more but i can’t remember them off the top of my head…
Bad Points: Found it extremely boring in places (it actually required me to use my own willpower to force myself to put it back in the tray), the whole fat thin thing was way too easy to get fat but takes years to get thin (despite the massive celery consumption), the long loading screens, the dog originally pissed me off (it got better as the game continued and i actually wanted it back at the end), the lack of penalty for death, the sucking up of experience after killing someone, not really much “free-roam” in the sense of an open clear area, the split screen co-op was really annoying especially if you dive off a cliff and you leave your mate at the top so he’s stuck there resulting in neither of you being able to move unless you reset the game, a slightly clunky system when fighting with a gun, there are more but i can’t be bothered to think of them
Overall I gave this game a 7.5-8/10. It was Really good in some areas, but in others i just felt a bit of a what the hell sort of thing. But if you’re considering buying, definitely get it, especially now as it’s cheap as hell
8.5/10. I can’t bring myself to give it an 8, because I just had way too much fun completing this game although it had some stupid quirks (which never really bothered me).
I would say 2/10
fable 2 was the first fable game i had ever played and i quite enjoyed it but the armour system and crates were so annoying. 7/10. by the way i loved this video couldnt stop laughing at the blacksmith with the muddy sword and everything. 10/10 vid
ii give fable 2 4/10
I am a big fan of part one i didnt give a shit about growing tress or anything like that but in part one the core rpg funny ass english people. IN FABLE 2 THE MOTHER FUCKERS DONT HAVE GOD DAMN ARMOR NO KINDA ARMOR JUST FUCKING CLOTH DAMMIT THE BREAD TRAIL SUCKED AND THE DEVIL ANGLE LOOKED SO BADASS IN PART ONE! IN FABLE 2 U LOOK LIKE A VAMPIRE IM OK WITH THAT BUT THE DEVIL LOOKS LIKE YOU NEVER KNEW WHAT A BATH WAS! BUT MY BIGGEST ISSUE WITH THIS PIECE OF SHIT IS THAT YOU CANT FUCKING DIE!!! NO DEATH THAT MEANS NO GAME ITS JUST U AS GOD IN THIS BUTTON MASHING GAME
Stop demanding I post! I don’t even OWN the game! I just want to hear a theme sone and see you do a crossover or fight some wacky character you made up! is it too mutch to ask! Why do I have to rate a game I don’t own on a system I don’t own! for the love of God whyyyyy!
Well If I must I must I rate ths game :Fish! Thats may rating its Fish! are you happy now Huh? huh? well are you!
why does it say a 6/10 on the game’s page?
anyway I love the game, just buy all the houses, having 5 wives, etc. I give it a 9
9.5 graphics not that good
2.5/10 SHIT GAME!
9 great game i loved it but the dying sucked and to short coop suck but it had so much good stuff so it had to be 9
I like the story and gameplay but like Joe said the co-op is sh*t. Hopefully Fable 3 will have better co-op.
I give the game 7/10
I noticed the Chris Tucker in Rush Hour 2(I think 2) impression. Freakin’ funny.
i love this game but i wish it was longer
Fable 2 was a terrible game, they made it out to be like there was a massive world and heaps of diffrent choices and locations and things to do and you could control everything, theres like ten diffrent clothes and armor and weapons and like you said the coop is fucked and finally there is only about 6-8 hours of gameplay tops then all you have is some stupid bitchy secondary quests that are boring and worthless. i recently bought and played Oblivion it is far better than this and for 1/2 the price and i got about 20+ hours on the main quests alone and i still got about another 30+ hours till im close to the end of the game. Fable 3/10
2/10.
This game was good….while it lasted I was extremely disappointed to have it last for only a few hours. I liked how you sould steal items from shops in the first game but now only money??? NO!!!!!!!!!!! still I give this game a 7/10
The game was actually a pretty good game but was complete crap compared to the first. I played the first for weeks at a time but the second one just fell short of my expectations.
I give it a 6.5/10
I give 7 out of ten…Game plays good, but it gets repetitive, no physical contact with people besides killing em.Fable three is definatley going to be better.But what really pissed me off, was the GODDAMN MULTIPLAYER!
im from the temple of dooky LOLOLOLOL
Great rant. The game is broken in many ways.
What happened with that other guy ? Havent seen him in newer reviews.
The Wu-Tang Box-basher part was un-fucking-believable. I felt very entertained.
I give Fable 2 a 5 out of 10. I dunno, I just didn’t find it all exciting as everyone put it out to be. And like in your Negative Review, it did feel a bit like Zelda when looking for Treasure. So yes, i’m with on all of that Joe, just a step back though lol.
great review joe! how old is this? havent seen it in the list of reviews untill now. anyway i give fable 2 a 7/10.
