So, alittle while ago (Not too long ago, though), I saw Fable for the PC, with the XBOX's unreleased expansion, "The Lost Chapters". Well, this is how it plays out:
Since I don't have an XBOX, I'll just say what I assume is true, as my XBOX-owning friends watched me play for a little bit.
The game starts out just like the XBOX version, pretty much word-for-word, bit-for-bit, until after you're done with the preliminary training (boring), which is where you start to see differences. When you leave the main starting town and get to the fountain thing in the middle of the path junction, There's these two stoners who sit there talking about the Mushrooms they lost.
OK, There's also a few more cool little additions, so I'll list them:
A few new minor quests (Not too hard)
A cool new minigame, Chicken Kickin'. When you get a certain score or higher, you get a Chicken Head helmet and a Chicken physical emote thing.
New Major quests in a new land, with about THREE new weapons. I know, only three.
What's worse is that the three new weapons aren't even as good as the Sword of Aeons. Sort of disappointing.
Another disappointing point about the game is the difficulty. The expansion is far too easy, and I've beaten Jack of Blades (Dragon form) about 13 times without ever dying once.
Chicken Kicking physics have been improved, allowing 50 meter Chicken Punts and further. Poor, poor chickens.
Other than that, the game was extremely fun. The graphics engine was improved from the XBOX version, with better water caustics and lighting effects.
Pretty fun, but too short. Not enough added in, 20 hours estimated, but beat it in 14.
7/10
