Fable: The Lost Chapters vs Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne
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).
Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne
Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne continues the storyline where the first game left off. Reprise your role as Max Payne himself as he tries to make peace with the tragic loss he had experienced... and failed. He still has many questions that haunt him and a femme fatale murder suspect that he met during a routine murder investigation might be the only person who can unlock the answers. Of course, the underworld is keen on keeping Max in the dark and will do whatever it needs to silent him and his new companion, perhaps once and for all.Featuring the epic and intense storytelling that had amassed a somewhat cult-like following for the game franchise, Max Payne 2 promised a story coupled with its hallmark slow-motion gameplay that will dig deep into your emotional reserves as you watch Max himself descend deeper into his own personal hell. This game is definitely a must-have for fans of the game series.
