It wasn't that the graphics were the greatest, or the story, or even the gameplay; rather, the combination of all of that which tied it all together, making it a fantastic game. Within the last few years I would pop open the Fable: TLC case for the Xbox, pop it into my Xbox 360 and give it another play through. And further installations were no match for the original Fable's story, because they began drifting from what made Fable a great game. But then the news came: Fable Anniversary was coming for the 360, and it would be a remake faithful to the original version! I was ecstatic, but I digress. You aren't here to read my feelings towards the game, are you? =Story The story is a rather generic story, with no definite elements to set it apart. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, because it plays like a good book. And even though the game is somewhat bland in areas, it still tends to stick out with the characters and their voice actors. The antagonist in the game serves their purpose well, and in turn helps make the story stick out. -Score: 7.5/10 =Graphics The original looked pretty good for its time, and the remake does nothing but improve upon the original. The only complaint I have is that the game seems to chug sometimes, especially towards the beginning, and the game is not on par with other high-end games. Nonetheless, it's a beautiful game and a welcome addition to the 360 collection. -Score: 8.5/10 =Gameplay Depending upon your choice of control style, it plays like one of the previous Fables. However, choosing Fable 2/3 won't allow you to sheathe your weapons, so I stuck with the Fable layout. The games controls are pretty fine, and they don't feel overly dated. The combat was rather easy, especially with a bit of practice, and the few puzzles in the game were easy as well. The game does reward you a bit with treasure chests and digging off the beaten path, but the chests tend to stick out, and the digging spots tend to be hard to find. Nevertheless, the game played well and did what it had to for an adventure game. -Score: 8/10 =Overall Fable was and is a great game, and if you liked the original then I'd say you should pick this version up as well. -Score: 8/10 Review: Timeless RPG Reborn with Stunning Remastering - Fable Anniversary brings the beloved classic RPG to life with enhanced graphics, smoother gameplay, and the same captivating story that made the original a fan favorite. The remaster offers a perfect blend of nostalgia and modern improvements, making it the ultimate way to experience the whimsical world of Albion. The choices you make still have deep, impactful consequences, keeping the gameplay engaging and replayable. Whether you’re a returning hero or a newcomer, this edition is a must-have for any RPG fan. ## Features - Xbox Live Achievements for the first time in the original Fable adventure - All-new UI and save system - Includes all of the expanded content from Fable: The Lost Chapters - Xbox SmartGlass integration* allows instant access to maps, mission and story information, as well as art and screenshots from the original Fable - Fully remastered HD visuals and audio ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00DBCAT3W | | Best Sellers Rank | #15,207 in Video Games ( See Top 100 in Video Games ) #252 in Xbox 360 Games | | Computer Platform | Xbox 360 | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (665) | | Date First Available | June 1, 2013 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00885370662351, 00885370683622 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 3.2 ounces | | Item model number | 49X-00024 | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Microsoft | | Product Dimensions | 5.4 x 0.7 x 7.5 inches; 3.2 ounces | | Publication Date | February 4, 2014 | | Rated | Mature | | Release date | February 4, 2014 | | Type of item | Video Game | | UPC | 885370683622 885370662351 | ## Images ![Fable Anniversary - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71c82CIFW+L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: With so many complaints about glitches & bugs have they patched it yet as of 3-4-2016 ? loved this game back in the day so a hd remaster oh yea buddy** A: I purchased this game January 28, 2016. As of February, there had been no patches to fix some of the glitches I had. I experienced the loss of Lady Grey AFTER choosing to marry her- she just vanished after returning from Bargate Prison. Still showed me as being married to her, but the NPC was invisible. The game froze and crashed multiple times throughout gameplay. At the final battle- before facing Jack of Blades in his dragon form- the game glitched and the last and final quest and cutscene did not start. I was unable to finish the game because of this, and the only solution was to re-start the entire game because their saving process is much different (no hero save, and it autosaves frequently). After doing some research, I found a post in the Lionhead Studios forums from someone stating something along the lines of "We're not currently working on any more patches for this game, as Fable: Legends is in development now. This is not to say we will not make new patches in the future, but as of right now we are done working on the bugs in this game." So no, they haven't and probably won't patch all of the bugs and glitches. I still loved the graphics and updates- but the gameplay made it difficult/hard to enjoy because of how many glitches there truly were. **Q: It says "a new save system". I loved the save for the original xbox where they had slots & an autosave. Is this version like that or like Fable 2/3?** A: It has three save slots, autosave and you can save to the slots anytime you want. **Q: Is this version the uk or us? The picture seems to be of the uk version** A: US version **Q: The game comes in spanish ?** A: I don't see anything on the packaging that indicates it comes in Spanish; not even any bi-lingual wording on the package, just English. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Is it a worthy remake? *by N***. on April 13, 2014* Fable was, and to this day, was an amazing game to play.

The remaster offers a perfect blend of nostalgia and modern improvements, making it the ultimate way to experience the whimsical world of Albion. The choices you make still have deep, impactful consequences, keeping the gameplay engaging and replayable.

Again! *by E***I on February 5, 2014* I'm a long time fan of the series, starting back with the original. I really like 2 but I hated 3. So far, Anniversary is exactly what expected, and IT IS GLORIOUS! Except for one problem. In my 2 hour playing session, the game froze 3 times. Twice I restarted the console, but on the third time I called it a night. If this problem persists, it will be too frustrating to play. I'll edit my review to be 5 stars if this issue is resolved for me at any point. Other than the freezing, I recommend this to anyone who loved the original Fable. I never got to play TLC, so I'm looking forward to finally playing that, too. Edit 1, Feb. 5, 2014: There's good activity on the Lionhead user forums regarding the freezing issue. Lionhead seems engaged in resolving this. I'm optimistic about getting the freezing fixed and bumping my review to the 5 stars this game deserves. Edit 2, Feb. 7, 2014: Based on info from the Lionhead forum I have had great success with the following steps: install game to hard drive, clear system cache and reinstall title update, wait 5 minutes on the Start screen to let the game cache before playing. In my most recent 4-hour session the game didn't lag or freeze once! So, here we go! Rating upgrade to the full 5 stars! Here's a little more about why this game is so great and why you should buy it if you haven't already: Expectations have always been infamously high going into a new Fable game. This time, my hopes were set on revitalized graphics, a better save system, better menus, and the Fable II control scheme. Fable Anniversary delivers on those completely! Fable holds a special, nostalgic place in my heart for the time I spent playing this in my younger days. You can never play a game for the first time more than once, no matter how much you loved the first time. Even time doesn't make that possible. Coming back after so many years can make the original game more disappointing than magical. With FA, though, Lionhead has breathed the life back into this game for me. It feels more how I remember it than ever, even though it's looks different and uses some different mechanics. Games are always about the experience for me, so I'm less interested in the purity of the original form than I am in the similarity of the original experience. FA is the closest I've been able to get to the gameplay that I fell in love with back in the day. Great job, Lionhead! Thanks for bringing back that wonderful experience. To anyone thinking about buying this game: If you loved or even liked the original Fable you have to get this game. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/1347204-fable-anniversary](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/1347204-fable-anniversary) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
