A demo for Lionhead's latest foray into Albion has popped up for download on the Xbox Live Marketplace today, giving you a chance to fire up your Kinect and take Fable: The Journey for a spin. Adopting a first-person viewpoint, The Journey sees you wielding magic as the game's hero, Gabriel and his trusty steed, Seren.

Featuring magical combat, horse-riding chases and puzzles, the full version of Fable: The Journey will see you embarking upon a quest across Albion, using Kinect as the game's control device. Now for the first time, you can try it out for yourself and find out if Fable: The Journey is for you.

You can grab the 1.22GB Fable: The Journey demo from the Xbox Live Marketplace now. Add it to your download queue here. Fable: The Journey is out on October 9th in North America and October 12th in Europe.

Don't see this succeeding unfortunately. Wish they would make Fable 4 instead!

Gave the demo a chance and it actually is god awful.
Fable 4 could redeem this in time (Note to developers, make more like Fable 1).

The first game is still easily the best, Fable 2 was good, just needed some epic boss battles and Fable 3 was just terrible really, if this is worse then Lionhead need to sort themselves out

Really hoping it does well and they've nailed the motion. I'd even beta test it to get it right.

Just when you thought they couldn't go any lower after Fable 3, this happens.

The fanboys can't even defend this one. It is complete and utter shit. And if anyone cares about Fable, they won't argue about that. I love seeing people try to turn this into something it's not and make excuses for it existing.

Kinect is a bad, overpriced tech demo and this game is just another example(as if Star Wars Kinect and Steel Battalion weren't enough) as to why Kinect doesn't work and how motion control based games aren't good with the current tech. Don't buy into this trash.

I not give Lionhead a chance for this one until they making Fable 4 with much familiar like from Fable 1 and not Kinect just regular control like 1 to 3. I loved Fable 1 and 2. 3rd is disappointed for many it's reasons but still fun game of course.

Come on, Lionhead to bring Fable 4!!

Shouldn't have to get an addon for one site because they spam ads worse than the 360 dashboard. It's fucking stupid.

I LOVED Fable: The Lost Chapters, tolerated Fable 2, and loathed Fable 3. This game looks to go on sale quickly and I would like Fable 4 to go back to the first games gameplay and charm!

I can't believe Microsoft have done this to Fable. To use this to sell Kinect is unforgivable. I borrowed my misses sensor and had a go, it's for kids and as far as i can tell it's ON RAILS.

Will never, even if it was a £1, waste my money on this.

I wish the Kinect would just go away, it has brought us nothing but horrible games. And i know "HURR DURR no 1'z forcing you twoo play them", but the lack of decent exclusives is brutal.

Baihu that's a shame, don't see why sword play would be difficult. Do try at least allow punching abduction I'm sure there must be chicken kicking. Will be playing it tomorrow

Darn predictive text. Do they at least allow punching actions? There must be chicken kicking. Odd that for the first time they choose to make a demo it's a Kinect demo. So surely a heck of lot more previously interested people now won't buy.

It can't be worse than Fable 2. NOTHING is worse than Fable 2.

That was actually really fun, the boss battle was awesome! I loved how they made you finish him off. The montage they showed at the end made me so much more excited for this.
