For players who have yet to experience the epic story of Fable II, Microsoft Game Studios is making it easy to jump into all the excitement of the critically acclaimed title with the launch of Fable II: Game of the Year Edition, which sees the mystery and intrigue of the "Knothole Island" and "See the Future" Game Add-ons bundled with the full game.

Fable II is available exclusively on Xbox 360 and is rated PEGI 16+.

Carve out a virtual life for yourself as hero or villain in the fantasy world of Fable II, where nothing is pre-determined. Create your own character, male or female, and control them over their whole lifetime. Watch as they grow up and then make the tough moral choices that will affect their abilities and how the world sees them.

Set in the land of Albion 500 years after the first game (such that primitive guns are now in widespread use), you can either seek to rid the land of evil or conquer the realm for yourself. The game features an all new combat system, allowing you to use a range of melee and ranged weapons, while death brings only a loss of experience.

But the game need not be about fighting at all if you don’t want it to be. You can buy property and become a mayor, or get married and have children. Many games call themselves role-players, but here the nature of your role is entirely up to you.
