Fable III Divides The Critics

Lewis Denby October 26, 2010 - 10:00 am

The Fable III review embargo lifted early this morning – and the reviews, across the board, are a little more mixed than one might expect.

Our own Luke Stratford’s been playing the game over the last few days. He absolutely adored it, calling it a “game of the year contender” and, indeed, branding it with the highest score we’ve awarded thus far in 2010.

Other outlets have fallen similarly in love. NowGamer have awarded a 9.2 out of 10 score, and CVG have run with exactly the same mark.

And TheSixthAxis ran with a perfect 10 out of 10 score.

Others, though, have been distinctly less impressed – as you might guess from a franchise as divisive as Fable.

Giant Bomb awarded the game 3 stars out of 5, Cheat Code Central arrived at a still-fairly-decent 3.7 out of 5 conclusion, and Destructoid hit home hard with a not-good-at-all 5.5 out of 10.

Perhaps Fable’s simply always destined to split opinion.
