Fable II game add-ons * *

Both can be summed up with two simple words, OVER PRICED. They sell at this time for 800 microsoft points each. That translates into a $10.00 price tag. So heres what you get...

Knothole Island

First I have to point out, this game expansion came out ONE MONTH after the launch of the game. This leads me to believe that it was ready for launch but the greedy Lionhead studio people need to get every penny they can squeeze out of us by selling it as an add-on instead. Further evedence of this being a launch ready feature is that they advertised changind seasons, a feature that appeared NOWHERE in the game but oddly enough is in this expansion.
So what isthe expansion all about? Its an island that is having problems with the weather. Your gopal as the adventuror is to set right the ballance in nature by "solving" 4 easy short temples full of so called "puzzles". I beat the whole thing in one sitting. Dont get me wrong, it does come with sone new weapons and armor so you can look like a regal knight or a rocker with a guitar ax. And it gives you some new potions to better controll your characters appearance by altering height and weight.

SEE THE FUTURE

The 2nd expansion is a lot like the first in the aspect that the "puzzles" are all too easy and the overall game is way too short. It also came out a short 4 months after the original game launch. The story here is to fight the curse off of 3 cursed items. Unlike Knothole Island however, this has a little replay value. One of the curses you fight brings you to an arena that is better than the one featured in the original game that you can come back and try to top your last score. The upsides for this expansion for me again are the new character customization oprions. You can get a royal outfit complete with a crown. A pompus french panzy complete with powderes wig, white face and mole, and my fav, the crow, evil clown and other face paint! You also get 4 villan costumes and 3 new dog breeds.

....

Well, there you have it. Are they worth the $10.00 price tag? Ill have to let you be the judge of that. But if you dont care about character customization Id suggest you save your cash.
