It's got quite a bit of replay value, and the story is a good 10 - 15 hours worth of solid playtime, depending on how much of the side content you wish to take part in.
It's okay, just because you don't understand the experience system in the previous Fable games, they are going to make it easier in part 3 so even you will understand
So true with gta and elderscrools though lucky with pc elderscroll players tend to create their own quests using contruction pack. still need to play Fable2 but fable 1 was good, though first time round only 24 hours it took, fastest i completed it was 14 hours that includes the lost chapters, so shows how small the game is. Fable 3 looks good but won't play til i get the second.
