Robin Hood: The Legend of Sherwood

Игра великолепная, как для своего времени, так и сейчас. Простая и веселая. Очень обидно, что нет русской версии, хотя на просторах интернета она гуляет, в том числе озвучка =)

A nice stealth and strategy game which privileges careful planing and micromanaging over blind bullcharges. The problem is that every mission looks like the previous one and mistakes in the earlier stages (e.g. killing too many "innocents") can make the game really hard in the end.

It does need a 3rd party patch to get it to run properly on modern Windows versions (google the games name + "lag fix"), but besides that, it runs just fine. Given how old the game is (and how easy to fix), I didn't subtract that drawback from my rating. Secondly make sure to not set too high a resolution or you'll miss out on all the beautiful graphical details and animations. I'm also not sure why some reviewers complain about the missing tutorials, the 1st level has all the tutorial hints you need and the game is pretty forgiving about combat - assuming you actually follow the game hints. All in all it aged pretty well, even the AI isn't bad, as enemies don't get stuck or lost; the gameis pretty addictive & easy to pick up and more forgiving than (for example) Commando's and there's a lot of content; aka the value for money is very decent, even ignoring the huge discounts during sales on it.

I remember playing this many years ago and it was very fun and engaging. The characters are nice and the missions have a very nice atmosphere. Makes you want to slip in to those tight pants and do some sword fighting for the good of the people!

I had no idea what to expect of the game. It was suggested to me and must say it was a wonderful experience. You do have a choice if you want to be stealthy or not. Hide bodies or just leave them be. Kill or not to kill. Every choice has it consequences thou. There are many ways to deal with enemies and also to trick them. One thing that I didn't like is the forced "assaults" you have to do towards the end as they felt pointless at that point. There are parts of a very few buildings you can't see behind which is annoying as there can be enemies standing there but you can't see that if they are not patrolling. Something I really liked is the behaviour of the soldier enemies react if somebody is missing. Same thing with how some people will snitch on you by running to an enemy soldier or leader and tell on you. Close combat is fun as you actually use the mouse to control the swing of your characters. Enjoyed the game a lot and can easily recommend it.
