Having now finished the game, i can quite honestly say that GTA3 is a good comparison:
You finish it by doing the missions, but you play it for the world.
The endings are a trifle disappointing, the length of the game doubly so. But oh, the stuff you can do...
I've fought a Mountain Troll using naught but a stick and won, sniped Bandits from watchtowers, married mayors, been adored by the townspeople, feared by the townspeople, kicked chickens, played blackjack... the list goes on and on.
The story is AMAZING- but the length of it pales. The much-rumoured addon disc is a much-anticipated thing for many who finished the game. I just hope it forces you to make a new character to play it, rather than taking the behemoth you have by the end into it and ruining it.
I also hope that, just for once, they add the option to be female, thus allowing my wife to even the score a little. After all, i can be chased through the streets by women with marriage proposals; where is the option to be a mighty heroine, followed by men?
Overall, i'd say... 7.5/10. At most.

Dude, 75% is a pretty good score, on a strict statistical bell curve.
Of course, if you mean 7.5 in Edge-world, where every big advertiser's games get 11-out-of-10 then 7.5 is not so big a deal.

Still, after reading this review I given to thinking that most of the criticism leveled at Fable has been completely unfair. It sounds like a right old jape, not unlike GTA in it's footle-em-up nature.
Come on Pete, where's the PC version!?
I demand to be allowed to footle.
