Video Game Reviews of Robin Hood Defender of the Crown
Customer Review: "Enough Banter. Let's Fight." Awesome Graphics & Gameplay, But Too Many Liberties With The Well-Known Legend.
Summary: 3 Stars
I liked this game, but there was a joke comparing kings to dogs that I found distasteful and uncharacteristic of Robin Hood (I guess this was due to the storyline, which took way too many liberties with the legend of the famous outlaw who stole from the rich & gave to the poor).
Some of the egregious liberties taken (all of which I HATED):
I. Robin saying that distasteful joke about dogs. Completely disgusting and out of character (fortunately, I skip it by pressing "X," which allows you to skip lines)
II.Robin & Marian's relationship-they were always fighting and there was barely, if any, trace of the love between them that we know so well from the written legends and the classic films "The Adventures Of Robin Hood" and "Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves."
III. Robin was portrayed as simply doing "My duty to something greater than a simple king." In the legends and the movies, he was a loyal subject of King Richard and loved him as much as he loved England (no, robin WAS NOT GAY).
IV. Guy Of Gisborne had tattoos. I don't believe tattoos existed at that period in history.
V. Why wasn't the entire cast credited, especially whoever played King Richard? (I think Sean Connery played him here, but I don't really know;
SPOILER WARNING AHEAD FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T SEEN "ROBIN HOOD: PRINCE OF THIEVES"
I know Sean Connery appeared as King Richard at the end of "Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves")
Egregious liberties aside, awesome graphics and gameplay. Rated T for some suggesstive themes (mild sexual comments between Marian & Robin).
