same price in the US so thats a + slightly cheaper in the UK, looks like a decent game… cheapest on static ice is about 45 bux… DLC is also on special…
meta critic scored it 75, though user review was average.

thinking about it…
yep, thats what i always check before posting on here… (39 cents) so i still thought it was worth it…
Is this good? comparing with fable 2?
It seems to have good reviews from IGN and Gamespot, but I had heard that it was plagued by bugs. Hopefully thats been patched up and such.
That's because IGN and other major reviewers were pretty much bribed by Microsoft to give a good review when it was first released, the real review from IGN is the PC Version of the review which got a 6.

It's not as good as Fable 2, but it's still a decent game. Worth ~$18, sure.
You know what? I've been thinking about it, and it's nowhere near as good as Fable 2. And it only might be worth $18. The story is mediocre, the characters are charmless, and there's a game mechanic at one point that involves an hour of listening to similar things over and over then choosing A or B.
I purchased it a while back when it was on sale - I found it was a pretty sub standard game. Sure there are a few things to do but before you know it, you are already at the end of the game in under a few hours. Multilayer is kind of fun but it feels neglected as the difficulty does not get harder.
I had difficulties getting the game to work from steam, in the end I had to download the Microsoft gaming center program.
Anyway as for the bargain - yes its cheap so you get my +1, but i don't recommend the game unless you are really bored or have a fetish for a chicken costume.
