  At the end of the day the pacing, environment and storytelling goes someway towards offsetting the Kinect specific issues, resulting in an average game that shouldn’t fail to captivate fans of the series and some new players who are there for the ride. If issues with using the Kinect hardware could be overcome, I for one would take this journey more than once.

  While I didn't bond with my horse as much as Molyneux may have liked, I fell head over heels for Albion. It's a game of two halves, and there's not much to see outside the 8-hour story, but Fable: The Journey is the unexpected surprise Kinect needed.

  4.0

  Playing through the game all you can see is the missed opportunity. The world around you is interesting and begging to be explored, but your movement is on rails so you can't do anything about it. Pick any complaint you might have about Kinect games - they feel like tech demos, they're unresponsive, they're repetitive - and Fable: The Journey is guilty of it.

  Fable: The Journey makes excellent use of the Kinect. By focusing on just a few different actions that don't require much precision, it keeps you keyed in on your experience rather than fighting with the controls. But that's beside the point; you won't even be thinking about the controls before long. It's the way this game unfolds that's so enthralling.
