Microsoft Game Studios announced today that musician Danny Elfman has
composed the theme for the upcoming Xbox role-playing adventure game,
Fable(tm). Elfman, three-time Academy Award(r)-nominee and GRAMMY Award
winner, is best known for his unique musical style and has contributed
to the soundtracks of dozens of popular films including Chicago, Batman,
Spider Man, Men In Black, The Nightmare Before Christmas and
Beetlejuice. For his work on Fable, Elfman worked with a hand-picked
orchestra and recording team to produce a magical theme.
In Fable, the groundbreaking role-playing adventure game from game
designer Peter Molyneux, the players' every action determines their
characters' skills, appearances and moralities. Characters' life stories
are created from childhood to death. They can grow from inexperienced
children into the most powerful beings in the world, choosing the path
of righteousness or dedicating their lives to evil. Muscles expand with
each feat of strength; force of will increases with each work of wit.
Obesity follows gluttony, skin tans with exposure to sunlight and
bleaches bone-white by moonlight. Players earn scars in battle and lines
of experience with age. With each person they aid and every creature
they slay, they change the world forever. In Fable, gamers decide: "Who
will I be?" For more information about Fable, visit the official site at
