Fable 2 - OXM Review Excerpts

GameBanshee sent us a note to say they have some excerpts from the Official Xbox Magazine's exclusive review of Fable II.  Appparently the score is 9.5/10 and they name this the finest game in Molyneux's career.  On being fenced in:

Forget the first Fable's fenced-in roads and tiny towns. The opening section in Bowerstone hints at a larger, grander scope for the sequel's version of Albion, and the moment you're set loose as an adult at Bower Lake, you're presented with a magnificent view of a valley that looks like it could contain all of the original game. It is, in fact, an overwhelming sensory event not unlike your first steps above ground in Oblivion or Fallout 3. The sense of scale and wonder never ceases. Towns bustle with vocal citizens who have daily routines; dynamic weather and day/night cycles give the world a pulse. And those pesky fences that leashed you to a path in the first Fable? Now you can easily hope [sic] over them.
