Fable: The Lost Chapers, was one of my favourite games as a child. When I heard about Fable Anniversary, I bought it withotut expecting much; I thought it would just be a HD remaster. Maybe fix some of the glitches. What I got was:

+ Improved shading.
+ Improved sound quality

Improved texture resolution and models, though the faces are all hideous.

- Interface that's about as user-friendly as forks being jammed under your toenails.
- No mouse control in menus.
- HORRIBLY clunky camera that seems to have trouble going around corners without jumping around.
- Sound cutting off and crackling whenever it feels your headset and/or ears aren't being tortured enough.
- Random Crashes
- Combined key commands that shouldn't have been combined- such as dodge/rolling
- Not being able to edit all of the controls without digging around in the files

Fable Anniversary is not worth the $35 price tag. The original Fable:TLC is superior in every way, unless you put graphics over gameplay. The graphical improvments are not enough to make up for the technical trainwreck that is Fable Anniversary. This is a shoddy port that simply feels unfinished. Alot of work has to be put into it before I would consider it supeior to the classic in any way.
