Molyneux to Fable II reviewers: please play with non-hardcore gamers

Peter Molyneux's sent a letter to those reviewing Fable II in the US asking them to play the title with a person that "doesn't play games" to see how they get on.

"I have a favour to ask you -- we build this game not only to appeal to gamers like yourself, but to appeal to anybody," he said. "So please, please, please, please, please find somebody who doesn't play games, watch them play it and see how their world turns out, because I think it's only when you see those differences that the unique experiences comes through."

The developer also devoted two paragraphs to explaining that journalists won't be able to review online co-op until it's patched into the game, hopefully in the first week.
