Fable: The Lost Chapters vs Prince of Persia
Fable: The Lost Chapters
Fable: The Lost Chapters is one of the most groundbreaking adventure RPG back in the day. Why was it so unique? Well, the game is designed with one major concept in mind - your every action in the game, including which dialogue options you chose and even how you treat people, will affect your reputation, which in turn will change the skills you have access to and also your character's appearance (like a reverse Dorian Gray) as he ages or collect scars from battling enemies. So, in other words, the character development is beyond impressive. The game doesn't really penalize you for your actions though, but there are consequences for every good or bad actions that you do and these consequences will affect the world around you, giving you the sort of freedom that was pretty much unheard of back then.In some way, Fable can be regarded as a legend-creator - a game in which you can literally craft your own legend by forging your own path. It also has a rather whimsical tone to it, making the adventures you embark on fun and lighthearted. Of course, there are plenty of exciting storylines to uncover and hidden secrets for you to find as well.
Fable is one of the most popular RPG series of all time and if you love RPGs, this is definitely one game you'll want to get (or maybe you can get the Fable Anniversary Edition instead - despite its flaws, it does have better graphics).
Prince of Persia
Prince of Persia is the whole new action-adventure game inspired by the highly acclaimed platform game of the same name. The game has been upgraded to fit with modern times and tastes - it features a brand new Prince, a non-linear storyline which unfolds , a vast open world for you to explore, various acrobatics, combat styles and skill sets, and even a helpful new AI-controlled ally who possess magical powers, Elika. Prince of Persia is realized in a rather unique art style that makes its illustrations look almost comic-like, much like the graphics in the Borderlands series.Prince of Persia is definitely not the same as its classic counterpart though it does retain many of the core concepts which had made the latter such a hit among gamers back then. The game plays out a lot like Assassin's Creed or any other parkour-oriented games so if you enjoy this sort of games, you'll love Prince of Persia.
