The system is still under development

Fable II is going to be a pretty big game. Peter Molyneux, its creator, points out that it will revolutionize gaming in general with its marvelous Artificial Intelligence system and with the extremely numerous choices you can make in the game. Also, features like marriage or the fact that you can have children with your in-game family are pretty attractive. But one of the most expected features by gamers was the online Co-Op mode which could make you play the game with, let's say, your in-game wife, and join all of the other players. Sadly, this mode hasn't been finished yet, so on October 21, the game will be shipped without this long awaited feature.

But don't worry, Lionhead, the studio behind its development, and Microsoft Game Studios, the publisher, are stating that the game mode will be finished shortly after the launch of the title. They went out and said that a week after the North American release, the online Co-Op would be available for download. Although the news is pretty sad for all the fans out there, they're still happy that the two studios decided not to ship a flawed game and are going that extra mile to ensure a pleasant gaming experience.

For those of you who don't know, Fable II is going to be a pretty interesting game, exclusive to the Xbox 360. You take on the role of a young hero in a fantasy world and make choices to turn that character into a heroic champion, a villain or anything else you can think of. Microsoft has really backed up this game and released the Pub Games on Xbox Live Arcade. They will be available as relaxing mini games for the player in Fable II. Also, for those who fancy something… exclusive, a Collector's Edition of the game has also been released. For 79.99 dollars you get the making of documentary on a separate disk, a figure of a Hobbe creature, some in-game items and a trial for the Xbox Live Gold.
