Robin Hood has got to be the most addictive game I have personally ever played. After what seems like five minutes, you find out you've been playing for hours. This game's 3D effects are spectacular, and the music creates the perfect atmosphere for the game.

This game is all about tactical strategy and how to make fools out of the nobles. The best part about this game is when you are in combat your sword moves like your mouse! And Robin Hood is such an great main character. The difference between this and other RTS games is that you don't have a "base" during the mission... and there are multiple paths through each mission. But it is SUCH a breath of fresh air after playing Starcraft-like (or Age of Empires) style game engines again and again.

This is the most amazing game I've ever played. I wasn't into commandos, but am now seriously considering it:)

The gameplay is excellent and the graphics though not the best are quite good.

WARNING: This game is addictive!
If you ever played Robin Hood: Defender of the Crown from Cinemaware on the Commodore Amiga, you know how important the games 'feel' or playability is to your enjoyment of the game.
Robin Hood: Legend of Sherwood should be the successor to that great game. It is VERY playable, and I was really sorry when I completed it, because it was over. It is one of the few games I played without cheat codes or cheat programs because it was possible to win without cheating and it was a game that was simply fun to play (what a concept eh? A fun game!)
The graphics are beautiful and draw you deeper into the game. The music is appropriate for each activity, and also adds to the game.
One of the most important features of the game is that it is very smooth, with no lag time between your control and the characters action. The graphics never pause (or jerk) due to a lack of programming forethought and optimization. So the game is very responsive, which is very important to me. I don't want to be frustrated by my games.
Speaking of frustration, I never found any bugs or glitches in the game. The game seems to be very well made.
The only found minor annoyances. The gameplay became somewhat routine, but the variety in play fields made up for this. The same comments over and over from the characters got on my wifes nerves.
I HIGHLY recommend this game!!!

Huge fun to play...

This game is so good!! The gameplay is amazing easy and funny. The guards's remarks all ways crack me up. the graphics are good and the story (although not SO accurate) is excellent and the characters are almost real. I finished the game in sorrow!
But if its so goooood why did I give it 4 stars? because on my old and new computer it always flickered until i pressed ctrl-alt-delete and go back again. and sometimes it freezes and just closes for no apparent reason. the most logical explanation is that (although it suggests otherwise on the System Rrequirements) it is not very compatible with Windows XP. My computer is a Pentium 4, 120 GB, 2.66 Ghz, so the like I said the most logical explanation is its compatibility with XP.

Fun through the whole game

I got this game for Christmas and so I decided to try it out. From the beginning I just loved it!

The NPCs are amazingly realistic. For example: if you knock out a guard, one of his fellow guards might hear you and attack you OR he might flee in terror OR he might go and alert a commander who's patrolling the city OR he might wake up his friend and ask him what happened. If they alert the commander you will hear him say "Guards, guards" or "But he's dead" and he will point exactly in your direction.

The combat system is not like any other game I have played. Usually you just click on a guy and you attack him. In Robin Hood when you click on a guy you can draw a line in a circle or to the right and it does different attacks. There are around 8 different attacks. If you select several guys and draw a line they will all do the same attack. You can also jump on top of buildings and shoot the guards with your arrows while only their archers and crossbowmen can hurt you.

The graphics are very detailed for a 2D game and you can hide behind almost anything so that the guards wont see you.

In Sherwood Stutely has made a camp for you and after you rescue him and his friends you can go there. There are many things you can make your men do such as train on melee or archery, heal themselves, cook food, make leather purses to bribe the guards, make nets to throw on guards...

Some of the missions are a bit easy like the first ambush ones but of course im only at the start of the game (rescuing Will Scarlet).
However those missions are really fun because you can lead the guards into the traps that are set up.

I think this one of the best games I have ever played and I recommend it to all.
