 Eh... November 1, 2008

Pros:
+ Artbook has some beautiful stuff and is well worth the $7 difference if you are into game art.
+ All around good looking guide
Cons:
-- No overall world map. WTF why is there no world map showing how the reigions are connected for this game anywhere inside or out of the game?? This is inexcusable in the game, and doubly inexcusable in the strategy guide. In addition there is no indication of where the exits or entries to an area are on the maps in the guide. This is a huge glaring oversight.
- not leatherbound as was originally promised, nor hardcover as it indicates now. It comes as 2 books in a thin cardboard slipcover.
- terribly organized information. For example, the maps for the regions that a quest takes place in are in an entirely different part of the book than the descriptions of the quests. No indications of where vendors are in an area, etc.
Overall, I don't understand how the release of this game was so botched, I ordered the LE of the game only to have it stripped of most of it's value and get no further discount from Amazon, and then the guide arrives and is nothing like what was originally promised. Oh well, at least the game delivers, it's gotta' be the most fun I've had with a game in a long time, at least on par with GTA4 for me.
 They lied, but guide is ok just buy regular one. October 27, 2008

First off art books not worth the extra money just go buy the regular guide.
Ok so i pre-ordered both collector editions, game and guide. Originally the game was to have a collector hobbe bean bag figure with it which pictures were uber kewl. But instead I hear that Lionhead decided to give the original collector editions and doll away as promo material to stars and reviewers lucky enough to attend their lavish parties, and gave us true fans crap.
As for the guide, buy the regular one it is all the important info you need. However note that treasure differs from the guide. Almost 99% of what the guide says you will find in dig spots, dive locations, and chest will not be what it says but something similar. I don't know why. But at least it helps you find where they are tho you wont know what they are.
Lastly, I wonder how many more times game manufacturers are going to dupe us with pre-order build up that turns out to be fraud, and I also wonder how long before we get sick of it and create a class action lawsuit for fraud. In ohio there are Bait and Switch laws that say something like this, "Product has to be what is advertised" or it becomes fraud. Sure i'm being a little BBBchy about it and I am a massive nerd that probably would have bought it anyway. But i'm tired of thinking im gonna get one thing and then get something else.

I just received my 2 copies of the LE Guide, one for myself and one for my girlfriends birthday. It is NOT LEATHERBOUND as it said it should be as I first placed my order. Huge turn off. I could have just gone to best buy and actually got the gift to her on time. But, I would truly like to know why its been changed. They mention the whole LE itself and whats been taken out.
Truly disappointed and would prefer my money back
Limited Edition only if your interested in the ART BOOK October 24, 2008

There is no extra content for the guide in either format, there is only the ARt book and different coveer but, their the same either one in bad content, really it is badly organized, the items, were to find them etc, the way its distributed makes it inpractical.
Buy the Fable 2 Signature Series Guide instead! October 24, 2008

Unless you are a diehard fan that has to buy limited edition everything, and it's alright if you are but if you are like me, just the average joe, don't buy this product. It is not worth the extra money. Buy the standard Signiture Guide instead. The Standard Guide covers all of the needed information and that is really the only thing a gamer needs.
