Lionhead’s long awaited sequel to their Xbox Hit Fable, has finally been released and although the game is scoring very highly, there seems to be a lot of fans and gamers in general that are incredibly displeased with the online co-operative play.
A huge ruckus has broken out on the Lionhead forums after one of the fans started the following thread:

Hey guys, thanks for the quick fix for the online multi co op. you know just taking a dump and selling it as a cool feature is kinda lame. the co op sucks hard in this game. you cant be your own character. and you cant freaken see anything because of the crappy (and I mean super crappy) camera.
So, thanks for all the waiting for this cool game with this awesome feature. i hate to tell you but it blows……I dont accept your patch. take it back and give us what you promised. not some cheap knock off.
Ouchies. This is how the thread starts and trust me it’s all downhill from there.
What makes matters worse is that one of the site mods posted a pic of handbags and asked if anyone needs one, which just made the fans even more furious.
Most of the issues people are having are with regards to the fact that you can only use a henchman in other peoples games as well as issues with people not being able to take found items over to their game.
We will have to wait and see how Lionhead respond.

Personally I’m loving Fable II and recommend it to anyone that likes the action RPG genre. Its good fun and has hours if not days of game play packed in. Do yourself a favour and do the side quests, they make it even more enjoyable.
As for the co-op, haven’t tried it properly yet. But I was a bit freaked out hearing some pommies in my game the one night.

i would go for fable 2, dont see any reason to get far cry 2 if fallout 3 seems to be a better choice and gives you choices with consiqenses, and a whole world to explore… never really was a fan of far cry series predator sucked for me
Plus Fable 2 kinda rules in my prespective. too bad the lead actor is a mute always has to express himself with body langauge lol

oh and as for the co-op me and my gf tried playing but got irratated quiet easily seeing that the co op player cant do anything except kill monsters. the co-op player cant interact or event get married like you… its more like a temporary thing than a long term experience
