Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 and Fable III both hit consoles this Friday, and the reviews of both sequels have started to arrive online. The general consensus for Force Unleashed 2 seems to be that if you are a Star Wars fan, there is enough in the at-times thrilling story and improved game-play to make up for the brevity of the main campaign: GamesRadar rated it 8/10, praising "substantial improvements to the Force powers" but noting the game "doesn't innovate or do new things", while Game Informer gave it 8/10 for "still letting you harness the Force like never before" but "losing some of its magic due to how short it is", noting that most hardcore gamers can finish it in a brief 5-7 hours. Fable 3, meanwhile, has been received well more consistently with critics, with IGN giving it a 8.5/10 for being "the game Fable II should have" and "more accessible to newcomers", as well as Computer And Video Games.com awarding it 9.2/10 due to "thoroughly entertaining quests", "more elegant RPG elements" and being able to make "choices with consequences." To put it simply: buy The Force Unleashed 2 if you are a fan looking to continue the storyline in between Episodes III and IV, and Fable 3 if you want a long-lasting experience where you rise to become King through a revolution, then must face the promises you made!
