Fable: The Lost Chapters vs New Super Mario Bros 2
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).
New Super Mario Bros 2
New Super Mario Bros 2 provides you with another exciting Super Mario adventure to embark on to save the hapless Princess Peach from Bowser! This time around though, the Mushroom Kingdom has a lot more gold coins for Mario to collect - and he needs to collect as many as he can - in addition to simply completing a level. There are also special power-ups that can turn everything in Mario's path in coins. Aside from the usual 2-player multiplayer mode, the game now has a new Coin Rush mode where players will rush through 3 levels while collecting as many coins as they can and then challenge their friends to do the same. With the return of Raccoon Mario, Mario can even fly and access hidden places around the game.New Super Mario Bros 2 is an incredibly fun game - more so than the previous version, that's for sure. So, if you can afford it, you should definitely buy this game.
