It's been a long time since I recorded a First 10 minutes, and when it's for a game as good as Fable 2 it's even more a pleasure. So here is something to help you guys wait for release date (soon!), with more to come. Sorry about the French language, my review build only has this language available.
Update: As promised, here is the second part, with of course more to come. But still in French.
Update 2: Here comes the last video of the kid time of the game. Tomorrow some videos showing the adult hero will follow.

games getting some great review scores..probably the best of any game released this year so far. IGN 9.5, Eurogamer 10/10, Edge 9 ect

I'm actually surprised the visuals have been given alot of praise by them..as to behonest the graphics whore in me doesnt see it.
Maybe it's like gta4 where the more you play it the more the little details amount up and you see just how impressive it actually is.

I love the graphic style in this game. It looks absolutely fantastic, and a reminder of the days when graphics were as much to do with style as they were realistic. It's a proper piece of art visually. The atmosphere the visuals are generating look like it's setting you into the set of a Harry Potter movie, which I like, because the look of those films have always impressed me. I just love this. They've really encapsulated the definition of the word "fable" both visually and in it's literal sense. I wasn't interested in this before having not played the first game, but after seeing this, it's a solid must have.

Just remember that Spore got 10/10 too, and look what that ended up being :)
But i really do hope this game is a 10/10, i hope its long.. Long lasting and epic.

The game will be great overall, but like any great game out if you look for something to moan about, you will find it, thanks for the vids as always guys.

No spore has an 85% average http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/926714.asp?...
And i'd say that is a fair score.

I know its off topic, but I thought I'd reply anyway. I don't do modding on consoles, I save that for my PC rig :D. What's a 360 without xbox live anyway?, so no, both mine were stock when they committed hara-kiri. This is going to sound sad, but when they both died, I was gutted, really gutted. My mates continued to play GOW and mass effect, while I waited for my consoles to be returned, then there's the serious issues with Microsoft and their joke of a customer service team which fobbed me off at every phone call. When I eventually got my console back for the thrid time, I chopped it in and joined the dark side. I couldn't face the possible (or inevitable) dissapointment again.

from early reviews the game is slow early on... and you suck early on... and develop into a great warrior.. people marked it down for that but it seems like a really great way to show the life sim that the game tends to be.... ya its sad that yummies like beef jerky get you fat but thats true of real life too

Fable II certainly looks very pretty and the audio is superb too. Not understanding French that well, none of the dialogue was spoilt for me. Love the dog too. Shame that the framerate drops horrendously at certain points and there's plenty of that old 360 favourite, screen tearing, which also plagued the first game on the Xbox. A tad disappointing really but hopefully it won't spoil the game too much for me.

I love how you call it the first ten minutes even though the first video alone is over 10 minutes =p And I was only expecting the one video, cause i guess I wasn't paying attention Looks great!!! The shadows look great, although they are way too out of focus, they should get sharper for closer things, like character shadows and stuff.

If you mean one of the best Art Directions of this generation , it definitelly is, but from a technical pov there are other more impressive games.

Easily more impressive games.

The ridiculous amount of unfinished or poorly done animations, clipping problems, texture pop-in, complete failure to load textures, and shoddy frame-rate definitely don't win the game any awards for technical excellence.
