First, I have to say that I love the Fable franchise, and have played every Fable game out there. Moving on though, the game does have quite a lot of violence, including the killing of zombies and children turned into violent beasts. You can earn achievements by decapitating and/or scoring groin shots. You can also receive STD's from unprotected sex, and in Bloodstone prostitutes are at every corner. That being said, the game holds some very positive messages. Most people in the game won't have sex with your character until the two are married (although you can have multiple spouses). While you can be good or evil, your actions will determine your alignment. At the end of the main plotline, your character has to choose between family, money, and sacrifice. Overall, for the more mature teen, Fable II is an excellent game.

Thiugh you can be good or evil and be a major sinner, the game demotes that, people run in fear and ignore you. When you act with the good moral decisions, then people love you, welcome you with open arms and you basically become their idol, which always make you feel better. This is no worse than what is talked about in a schoolyard. Yes there are drunken characters, and you can I toxicate yourself, but no one does that. The game demotes such acts as public violence and alchoholism. There is sex implied, yet they never show it, the screen fades to black and only the noise makes it through. I can garuntee you that if your child can get to a computer while home alone, they've looked at something their not supposed to. Yes gay and lesbian sex is an option, yet what is wrong with that? If that's your choice then you have to live with it, theyres nothing wrong with it it's who you are. Let me make one thing clear HOMOSEXUALITY IS NOT A CHOICE IN REAL LIFE! With the rise in technology, Amish people are the only people left in America that hasn't viewed or talked about sex and pornography. There is almost no blood when an enemy is killed, no more than in a needle. All the forms of violance are way undertoned compared to some teen games like GRAW(2) where you're a counter-terrorist against REAL people along the Mexico-USA border. The language is, once again, no worse than 6th grade playground whatnot. Trust me I played the first game when I was 10 and played this when it came out, it's not a baby game, but it's definitely NOT M worthy. If your teenage kid is begging you for it, look at some gameplay videos, try it for yourself, and trust me you'll see it air that bad.

i think this is an awesome game but there is a few bits of sex in it for example there is a mission where you have to seduce a mans wife and prostitutes do roam the streets in one area but not often there is a local gambiling pub and a bar but there is no beer it is mostly juice

Well for starters this game is NOT appropiate for kids but i still let my kid plaay it. I always watch him when he plays so that he dosen`t do any thing innapropiate.

It's fine for 13 year olds and up. There is a sex related thing that you get but just have the where babies come from talk and they'll be fine

Great game, but I personally like the first one more. I like it that you can personalize your character a bit more in this game and the storyline is longer. But there is just somthing about Lost Chapters that I love more than this sequel.

Fable 2 leaves a lot up to the player. Drinking? Yeah, if you go buy 'em and drink 'em. Sexual content? Yeah, if you go after it. Good or evil, too. It's up to the parent to decide what the kid can handle. However. The previous reviews, from kids who can't buy the game, but say it's okay for someone even younger? That's a problem.

I would let my kid play.Its up to us that our kids know right from wrong even for a game. On this game if you are bad you do and can get in deep sh*t. Like if you kill someone a "cop" comes to take you away you either pay gold or do a good deed because you were bad.Kids see worse in real life than on this game.

Parent's should be sure to include thier children's maturity when considering buying this game. It's suggested sexual themes including prostitution makes the game definatly a mature game. The cartoon violance is nothing serious to be concerned about.... either is the language... kids hear worse in the halls of thier own schools. All in all this is a great story game and is one that should be in all older gamer's collection. But I would say that this game is for teens age 15 and up... and that is seriously based on your childs ability to handle adult situations... I know alot of my friends that are 18 who I dont think could handle it... but thats another story... LOL.
