It's been a long and not altogether smooth road that Kinect has travelled since it was released two years ago.

Like other reviews, it is a brilliant game but you can't just do what you want, you have to go along with the story, instead of turning evil and raiding towns in other fable games. Despite that the game is brilliant and a lot of fun.

What with Microsoft's unexpected release of Fable 3 to anyone with an Xbox Live Gold account last month, here at SquareGo, we decided it was time to visit upon the Fable series with the strange and curious oddity that is Fable: The Journey.

When I heard that there was a new Fable coming out I was very excited, but along with many other fans of the franchise I was a bit nervous about the fact that the game is completely controlled using Xbox 360's Kinect motion sensor.

Fable: The Journey is Lionhead Studios' latest addition to the Fable universe and the first to incorporate KINECT. This time, rather than being an open-world to explore, the Journey is on-rails which is something that hard-core fans of the series have been worried about.

Good use of Kinect when it works; Amazing visuals as can be expected from the series; Voice commands are a good feature rather than a gimmick; Excellent story line (expect some of your questions regarding Theresa to be answered; Boss levels are fun and full of action; Extremely well done cut scenes,...

Pity the poor Fable series. Once upon a time, it was a proud steed that carried whimsical yet deep role-playing gameplay away from the land of PlayStation into the kingdom of Microsoft.
