Story:
Takes place 500 Years later (after fable 1).
It starts with a young child (you choose boy or girl) that is know as Sparrow and his/her sister Rose who are two orphans. One day while wandering around town they see a traveling salesman who is selling a few items. One of the items he is offering to people is a music box that is said to grant one wish. Rose and Sparrow are then influenced to buy it for 5 gold coins by a mysterious gypsy.
After purchasing the strange music box Rose goes to make a wish, for them to live in castle Faifax (they'll have lots of food, a warm and luxerious home, and more). However instead the music box disappears. Later that night however Lord Lucian (king who lives in the castle) calls to see them. Shocked they quickly follow guards to the castle.
Lucian requests them to stand in some kind of magic circle where he starts to become enraged with what he finds from it. He escalims that they are not the three but one is the fourth. He then makes references to 'heros'. Lucian then takes out a gun and shoots Rose first killing her...then shoots Sparrow who flies out the window and falls down to the streets.
It's there that the gypsy and the stray dog they saved earlier meets the hero while he/she lay injured from the fall. However the gypsy mentions Sparrow can't die there and that hero's don't get killed easily. So it happens that Sparrow was the fourth hero Lucian was talking about....and so your story then begins from there....

Rate: 9/10
I have to admit it's a ton of fun. For this game the story wasn't bad although not completely creative. I definantly prefer the first fable's story line but this one was really fast and...just wasn't as well. But they did a great job on all the side quests which make the game super long. All the realistic features they added does make it entertaining and thankfully they have better voice actors. o_o'' (although I was able to bear with the first one I was glad for the change).
I WAS disappointed in the character model graphics. I think they coudl have been better. Seeing as the witch lady in fable 1 looked awesome I expected really good character models for this game. >_<
