IGN doesn't make sense sometimes. Remember, we're talking about the site that gave God Hand a 3/10.

Good one. I remember them giving Jade Empire a 9.9.
While I admit Jade Empire is a great game, it could be better, and probably should grade in at about a 9.0.

No game should ever get a 9.9, that's way too high.

I just got past the Childhood portion of the game and have begun exploring a little in the dungeon where I'm supposed to find my "destiny".
Fable II first impressions:
Story - Pretty basic revenge tale. You do have good/evil path options as early as childhood, though.
Graphics - Excellent! Very colorful and with a unique art style. Both the characters and environments are done very well.
Sound - So far so good. Too early to tell really
Gameplay - Combat is very straightforward and user-friendly. Excellent interfaces and easy menu use.
Worth mentioning...the dog! So far this is probably the most interesting feature of the game. As your only party member, early impressions are that the dog will play a significant impact on your success/failure in the game. For example, he barks when you're about to miss something. There were 2 instances where after he barked, he found a dig location and a treasure chest that I would've overlooked (because I was in night-time mode). Initially, I'm impressed with the dog AI.
Another interesting aspect is the ability to buy/sell/rent out buildings. It appears that many of the buildings (residences & businesses) in Fable II can be bought/sold/rented out. Apparently, the game world changes based on your character's development, and it impacts the economy of the Fable 2 world, property values, etc.. Obviously, I have no gold right now, nor enough of a reputation to affect anything, but I'm intrigued to see how these aspects play out.

It has sparked my interest, from what you've written there. Especially the dog thing looks interesting. I'll definitely pick this game up, someday.

Be sure to get the collector's edition if you can. I've been using the additional in-game content and it adds to the humor. You have an added treasure chest that contains a Master Chief suit and an Energy Sword (although it doesn't do 1-shot kills); I tried it out and eventually got to a town that needed Blacksmith help. So I took the job to get some quick gold, and it cuts to a scene of my character in the Master Chief outfit taking a hammer and pounding out swords in a mini-game...ironic. You can also buy the "Master Chief" title from the town crier for free.
I haven't found the other bonus content of a hidden dungeon and a powerful weapon you can find there, but I'll get around to it eventually, I'm sure.
I did buy a book for the dog to learn how to sniff out better/more frequent treasures and it's been paying dividends right away!
There's so much to do. Excellent game!

I just got this game as a gift, saves from forking over the $49.99 for it in lieu of Fallout 3 next week or so.
If your out to buy the Limited Edition, take note that some of them don't have the DLC cards in them.

Just beat this game, it was really good, the ending was a bit strange though. But the battle's are really good and it's interesting how the guns in this game work. I.E. shoot someone in the arm they drop their weapon, leg they become crippled, and for the head... BOOM HEADSHOT!!

Is it a short game or do you just have a lot of gaming time? (no pun)
EDIT: Just saw the GT Review. Yup, a short game (if you wish it to be atleast)

It may take awhile to do EVERYTHING, but for the main storyline it's quite short.

I've been taking my time with it because I heard it was short. I've been building wealth and buying real estate & businesses to get a steady stream of income.
I've just reached Briarwood.

I just beat this a while ago. Good game and all but man they need to hire some beta testers ASAP. I've seen few games that have as many bugs, glitches and poor level design as this one does. Also in risk of spoiling anything, when your guide tells you to finish up anything before a major event, do so. You may end up screwing yourself out of the ability to complete an achievement or two based on your choices.
Other than that it was a good solid game for killing the time left waiting for
Fallout 3

I played it a bit last week. I'm not sure what it was, it just didn't click for me. I really enjoyed the first Fable, so I assumed I'd really enjoy the second one, but I find it lacking. It's frustrating, because I can't put my finger on any one issue that is bothering me, just the game as a whole isn't my cup of tea I guess.
