Fable is entertaining and fun but lacks the depth in some ways that would have made it a great game. The game is VERY quick to beat even if you do the various sidequests. It had potential to be one of the best RPGs I have played in a long time, but falls short thanks primarily to a lack of unique weapons and equipment and a very short plot. If you do only the bare minimum the game would probably take only 8-12 hours to beat and maybe 12-18 hours to beat with all side quests...for an RPG that is far too short. I use as my standard maybe 40 hours as a good length for a RPG game. A good renter, but I wouldn't buy it.
