Every Choice Has Its Consequences
Fable 2 provides players with a truly immersive experience where a virtually limitless number of choices can be made, all of which have their own consequences, making each game unique. When you start the game, you choose either to play the role of a boy or girl, and depending on your choices, the hero will grow up to be tall or short, good or evil. Players can get married and have children; female player characters will become pregnant, which will then be reflected by their physical appearance.

Early in the game, players are presented with a stray dog for a best friend, who will need to be fed and loved, and will accompany the player throughout his or her life. Depending on the player, the dog will change appearance and assist him or her in various ways, such as alerting of impending dangers and attacking enemies.

Players inhabit the world of Albion and are free to roam the land to as they please. Players can use different expressions to communicate with others, such as taunting and laughing, and even belching or farting.

As the players grow, so does Albion, reflecting the choices that were made earlier in the game. Every house, hut, castle, and dungeon can be purchased if the player wishes. Players can buy up all the land in a town and can become mayor, king, and even emperor of the entire land.

Fable 2 presents a dynamic and free-roaming world that doesn't demand a player to take any one set path. At the same time, players seeking a plot line will find an epic story and quest that they can follow if they wish, along with many side adventures.

Fight Using Different Weapons and Magic
Fable 2 introduces a new combat system that allows for mastery of hand weapons, such as swords, long range weapons such as cross-bows and guns, and, of course, magic. Players improve at each discipline with time, and can combine different combat styles when they fight. Other advanced design features include tactical positional advantages that can bring new strategic elements into combat.

Bring Other Players into Your World
Fable 2 has a multiplayer mode that allows you to bring other players into your own world. Consistent with the rest of the game, the actions of these other players can be permanent and affect your world. You can explore and fight together with these other players, share treasures, and even fight each other.

Note: Fable 2 will not ship with Online Co-op mode. An update with this functionality is rumored to be released shortly after the launch of the game.

Details

In Warriors: Legends of Troy, two great armies clash not over home and country, but for the love of a single woman. The fates of these civilizations now stand upon the razor's edge. 3000 years ago, a poet sang of heroes strong enough to stand alone against an army. For love, they sailed the world. For family, they made the greatest sacrifices. For honor, they stood and faced the will of gods, and fought a war which shook the earth. In the age when Zeus Almighty ruled over immortals and men, what begins as a truce between two cities quickly erupts into a massive war that will shake the very foundations of Olympus.

Warriors: Legends of Troy is a mature oriented Hack and Slash, Action-Combat game set during the literary and historical Bronze Age Trojan War. A release in the Dynasty Warriors series, Warriors: Legends of Troy allows you to take up arms as one of several playable heroic characters on either the Greek or Trojan sides of the conflict, utilizing character specific temperaments, abilities and finishing moves. Additional features include: important strategic use of weapons, multiple attack possibilities, a playable Amazonian character and a leveling system featuring the ability to carry a limited number of in-game items to heighten abilities.

The Epic 10 Year Battle for Troy

In Warriors: Legends of Troy, two great armies clash not over home and country, but for the love of a single woman. The fates of these civilizations now stand upon the razor's edge. 3,000 years ago, a poet sang of heroes strong enough to stand alone against an army. For love, they sailed the world. For family, they made the greatest sacrifices. For honor, they stood and faced the will of gods, and fought a war which shook the earth. In the age when Zeus Almighty ruled over immortals and men, what begins as a truce between two cities quickly erupts into a massive war that will shake the very foundations of Olympus.

Gameplay

Warriors: Legends of Troy is Hack and Slash Action-Combat game that incorporates strategic combat techniques and character leveling. An installment in game developer Tecmo Koei's Dynasty Warriors series, action in Warriors: Legends of Troy is based in an existing cultural framework, in this case that of the legendary 10-year Bronze Age war between the Greeks and the Trojans. Events, playable characters and story background are pulled from the Greek epic poems, the Illiad and the Odyssey, as well as the later Roman retooling of the Troy story, The Aeneid. Players can choose to fight for either side in the war, playing as a variety of famous heroic characters, for example: Achilles, Oddesseus and Telamonian Ajax (Aias) for the invading Greeks, or Hektor, Paris and the Amazonian Penthesilea for the Trojans. Other characters may also be playable. Each character has his/her own temperament, warrior skills and finishing moves. Finishing moves are unleashed by filling an in-game meter, resulting in a short-lived extra burst of power, allowing for the move. Like other games rooted in the Dynasty Warriors franchise players will face masses of enemies on a regular basis using period specific weapons, in this case swords, shields, javelins, etc. Weapons, for example shields, also can and must at times be used strategically to set up enemies for optimal use of special moves. Players will have access to a variety of attacks and can string together combos for maximum damage. They will also face intervention from the gods of Olympus at times and battle bosses pulled from the pages of Greek mythology. Finally the game contains a leveling system that utilizes an in-game economy and a limited number of grid slots, allowing the player to carry items either purchased or found that increase their abilities.
