Reviews are up.

IGN, and a lot of other places have their reviews up.
x360a has too.

The game has some high scores so far.

Already? Huh.

Well the game did leak to some people in Australia. A Kmart accidentally put it on the shelves on the 17th, and now Microsoft is so angry about that, they're considering holding Gears 2 back from that Kmart for three weeks.

I'll go check those scores. If it's a Rick Roll, I'll punch you in the face...

EDIT: According to wikipedia, three reviews are up:

IGN: 8.8/10
Eurogamer: 10/10
Edge: 9/10

Looks like some awesome reviews so far.

EDIT #2:

X-Play just reviewed Fable II, giving it a 5 out of 5. One statement that really got me was:

"Once again, it is not as good as Peter said it would be. It's better."

They said that co-op doesn't add much because you'll be much too wrapped up in single player, and their only gripe was that some of the movements in the cutscenes were a bit weird, but that was made up for with some fantastic voice acting.

Thanks for that! I had no time to do it myself.

A couple more:

Gametrailers.com: 9.3/10
Gamestats.com: 9.2/10
teamxbox.com: 8.9/10

So far, it looks like a big winner.

Yeah. Those are some high reviews. Im glad it got no less than 8.5.
Thats a good sign!

Once I finish the game, I'll write a review for supercheats. I really like it so far.

Good to hear. I've heard about bugs, but people who I talk to think its ok. Nothing bad.

Well, for a bit the running feels oily, like your character is sliding around as he runs, but you get used to it. In combat, if an enemy falls down too close to a wall, you can't get in close for the finishing blow, and obviously, you can hit objects you never saw while running. Like real running. "But I never saw that tree branch! It just smacked me in the face all by itself!"

Im over it allready. I played fable 1, and it looks similar to the vids of fable 2.

Well, obviously it looks similar in screenshots. It takes place in the same land, but I've played Fable, Fable: TLC, and am playing Fable II, and it looks much different, and plays very differently than Fable 1.

I can't wait for this, I'm going out tomorrow morning to pick up my pre-order.
The graphics certainly look better as well, and the gameplay itself looks great.

My guy is getting fat, even though I don't eat much food... >.< It's annoying.

Poor Loony.
I'm heading into town to get my Fable 2 tomorrow, I'm going at 8:30 to be there when game opens at 9.

Enjoy the game Pooly.
You'll love it, shame I can't co-op :(

Why cant you? You have LIVE, just download the patch or find a friend and plop him down on the couch next to you.

I got the RRoD, which I fixed! So I take back the previous post, and I can now go play co-op with anyone, any time

Ouch. I thought I had the Red Ring before. Turned out a cord was just unplugged. It was scary.

Anyways, I just posted by review for Fable II, and it'll be up soon. I gave it an overall of 10, but I really would've given it a 9.5 if the system was more accurate. I just rounded up.

EDIT: Loony's Review is up

Disregard the **** that I put in there, I was in a rush and it was supposed to be "this". Also, when I said "after two 10's" in the third section, I originally had the first two as tens and then changed the second to a 9 and forgot to edit, so just ignore those mix ups.
