Fable: The Journey is a first-person shooter, that has players use Kinect to manipulate magic in order to defeat enemies. By using your hands to perform certain gestures, players can enter a spell crafting mode, which allows you to draw items with your hands and then use them as spells. This enables players to create shields, spears and hammers in order to defeat enemies. Players can also create fishing rods and telescopes, which can then be used in minigames. As you defeat enemies, you collect life force, which can be used to unlock new spells. Life force is similar to the experience system of previous Fable titles.While some people are still hesitant of the Kinect, it definitely offers a new way of utilising gameplay mechanics, making a more engaging experience for the player. Hopefully the controls are solid and responsive enough in battle that creating a fireball with your hand gestures actually works efficiently.
