    When Fable: The Journey was first announced I knew it would fail. Peter told us exactly "It's not on rails", well guess what? It is. Fable continues to slowly die out though to the changes it's over going year after year. The graphics are nice but what's the point when you can't stop to enjoy some of the breath taking environments? This game locks in for a boring ride unlike the previous two games. It's time Fable lived up to it's name and actually became one, because this is one you'll want to forget.… Expand

    The fanboys can't even defend this one. It is complete and utter **** And if anyone cares about Fable, they won't argue about that. I love seeing people try to turn this into something it's not and make excuses for it existing.

    Kinect is a bad, overpriced tech demo and this game is just another example(as if Star Wars Kinect and Steel Battalion weren't enough) as to why Kinect doesn't w    ork and how motion control based games aren't good with the current tech. Don't buy into this trash.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I literally sh@t my pants when I saw this game had finally been released.

    Peter has really done it this time. Talk about innovation. I literally feel like I'm sitting on a horse cart riding through the most fantastically realised environments this side of the original Doom. Wow. I bought a whip so I could real get the feeling of driving that cart and although my son has got a few marks on his face from my errant whipping the effect is magical. Highly recommended if you like carts and especially horses.    … Expand

    For Kinect owners who love Fable, The Journey is a must buy and will likely result in many hours being spent traversing Albion, enjoying a charming story with interesting characters and likely finding a new love the Xbox 360 peripheral. If you're on the fence about whether or not you need another Kinect game or you're trying to find an excuse to purchase a Kinect, Fable: The Journey is by far one of the reasons to pick up this piece of kit.

    An ambitious attempt at making a simple but compelling game, hampered by a device that's not quite up for it. [Jan 2013, p.81]

    You can ignore the smoke and mirrors for a while, but there's just no substance. [Issue#91, p.64]
