From the great Peter Molyneux, Fable: the Lost Chapters is the true vision of an RPG game; everything you do has a reaction on your looks and your reputation and therefore how the game plays.
If for, example, you decide to go around robbing everything that isn't nailed down, kicking the bodies of your enemies and generally insulting everyone that looks in your direction, then you'll get an evil look and the general population will react the way you would when a mass-murderer comes into town.
The same goes for the progression of your skills; choosing to get better with heavier weapons will see your character get big and muscley, more stealthy will see him get more lithe, oh and eating and drinking like a lout will make you fatter.
As your character progresses through the game missions from sprog to pensioner you'll have a massive amount of customisation options available: beards, haircuts and tattoos (you can even import your own tat's), and that's on top of the hundreds of weapons and clothing items around the world (including Union Jack boxers).
Of course as it's an RPG there's a shed load of missions out there, even more than the original game because this has the extra content of The Lost Chapters. Including stuff like magic mushroom hunting and other comic style quests, you're sure to have a good laugh.
The sword combat system follows a fight-and-dodge fashion that progresses with your character and the bow combat has a particularly satisfying way of delivering large pointy projectiles.
So what are you waiting for? Download Fable: the only game with union-jack boxers, man brothels and drunken quaffing.
