Fable Heroes never manages to become the fun game it deserves to be.

I have to admit that I am a huge fan of Castle Crashers, a 4 player cooperative hack n’ slash game.   It was such a big hit on XBLA and something that I played over and over again.  Heck, I still pick it up now and then and mindlessly take my green or pink knight for a run through various levels.  When Microsoft announced Fable Heroes I was very interested in it given its’ design and the 4 player cooperative aspect seemed right up my alley.  Well the game has been on XBLA for a few days now and after taking some time with it I have to truly say that it is not the game I was expecting.

Fable Heroes has a big-deal developer taking a chance on something that should be a sure-fire hit. By putting more Fable heart than good-game soul into its work, however, Lionhead compromised its experiment. The playful visuals hardly compensate for old ideas and mundane action. Hardcore Fable nerds may find something of interest by drudging through the brief campaign. It’s an amusing but empty distraction.

Fable Heroes feels like a cash grab in the truest sense of the word — a game that has no business carrying the Fable moniker. While each entry in the franchise does fall short of some lofty expectations, they at least aspire to do something original. Fable Heroes, on the other hand, gets a few things right, but they're not worth your time.
