Fable II Website Is Filled with Goodies

Fable II is shaping up to be a pretty big title. With the brilliant mind of Peter Molyneux and the large marketing efforts of Microsoft behind it, the game will definitely be a bestseller. The Xbox 360 exclusive promises to give players the biggest variety of choices ever conceived in a game, every single one of them having an impact on the character of the player. Also, quite a lot of interesting features are built into it – from the new and intuitive Artificial Intelligence system to the much talked about online co-op gaming mode, there's certainly something to satisfy any gamer.

Microsoft has definitely been pulling out all the stops to promote this game and to make it stand out from the crowd of titles on the market. From the launch of the Pub Games collection on the Xbox Live Marketplace to the Collector's edition, nothing has been left untouched by the corporation. We just received word that the official website for the game is up and running, giving visitors the chance to get their hands on quite a lot of in-game goodies.

The site unfolds like a story book and gives readers the chance to make different kinds of choices during key parts of the story. Depending on those choices, the players will receive one of five different special in-game items. Based on the experiments made until now, these range from a Lionhead tattoo and a hero doll to a three-piece chicken costume.

There is also another minigame, called "Chicken Kicking" where you are supposed to kick a chicken against various things and if you earn enough points you will be rewarded 1,000 in-game gold for your character. In order to receive all of these goodies you must make an account on the website, which you will use when you start up the actual game.

Fable II is set to hit the store shelves on October 21 for the United States, with other territories such as Europe getting a copy on October 23 or 24. Until then, all that is left for us to do is test other choices for the interactive story and kick chickens.
