Fable 2 vs Rune Factory: Frontier
Fable 2
Fable 2 is the sequel to the incredibly popular Fable RPG series set in the land of Albion. Offering more of the same and yet with some nice improvements such as getting a pet dog, the game is more immersive than ever. Craft your own narrative as you forge your own path as a fighter, a gunslinger or a mage. You can even build relationships with various NPCs, fall in love and start your own family. And of course, the franchise's hallmark feature - every action you make will have a consequence... some of which can be pretty funny.Fable 2 is a brilliant follow-up to the original game and does the franchise justice. However, the game is somehow not available for PC gamers unlike the previous game, and this can come as a disappointment for many fans. That said, if you got an Xbox, you might want to get this game.
Rune Factory: Frontier
Rune Factory: Frontier sends you to the frontier town of Trampoli where you are expected to set up your very own virtual farm. Desiogned for the Wii console, you can literally do everything in the game simply by using your Wii remote and nunchuk (classic controllers are compatible as well), be it tilling the land, fighting monsters or fishing. The game has a much improved interaction system where your interactions and relationships, including romantic ones, feel a lot more life-like than usual, adding the rare EQ element to the gameplay.Unlike the previous games, you don't need to recruit monsters or townsfolk to maintain your farm for you. Due to the game's dynamic ecosystem, symbiotic creatures called Runeys will help hasten the growth time and quality of the plants you produce. And of course, there are plenty of dungeons for you to dive into, monsters to fight, and rare items to loot.
Rune Factory: Frontier is a pretty entertaining game overall, especially if you've enjoyed any of their previous or later games, and is definitely worth your time and money.
