You can distract soldiers by throwing bags of money, disguise a character as a beggar, lure enemies into traps, distract them with whistles and so on. The amount of detail is as exhaustive as ever, and you’re constantly learning new things you can do, ways to manipulate the environment and abilities to exploit. But this is still a highly tactical puzzle game where, as always, a tremendous amount of patience is required to get past even the earliest levels. To make this close-range combat a more integral part of the gameplay, you can perform different types of sword swing by making shapes with your mouse. The concept works rather well, despite the obvious lack of guns, with the bow and arrow working as some sort of sniper rifle and a greater emphasis on hand to hand combat. Thankfully, this Robin is more Errol Flynn than Kevin Costner, and the game’s colourful design and light-heartedness give it a certain charm.
But building a Commandos-type game around cowboys is one thing it’s quite another to do the same with Robin Hood.
Nothing Is Ever Forgotten.Commandos was one of the biggest hits ever in Germany, so it’s not surprising that they've turned the hard-as-nails puzzle-based strategy gameplay into an industry of its own, started by developer Spellbound and its excellent game Desperados. Whoever suggested in this discussion that Carpenter should bring all of the Merry Men back together as older, wiser outlaws is 100% right. Now a huge star, Ray Winstone seems genuinely pleased to take time out to talk about his experiences and love of the show. All of the stars appear on the DVD boxsets and everybody has good memories and making this show. If you don't already have Clannad's "Legend", go out this weekend and treat yourself. Clannad's soundtrack works excellently alongside the programme - and I doubt RoS would have been the success it was without it. Still, though, the old version prevails over time. It's ironic that this reminds me of "Prince Of Thieves" in relation to RoS: borrowing a lot of elements from the original, and tweaking them a little. The addition of the "old religion" trying to continue, while the new religion of Christianty tries its hardest to stamp it out. No one would envy having to follow in the footsteps of a role made famous by someone else for two series, and there is - as in all the series' - an excellent camaraderie and relationships - between Robin, his Merry Men and his Merry Woman.
That said, I do prefer the third season episodes and stories to the first two series'.
Connery handles the part extremely well, but isn't the actor Praed was. Without wanting to sound harsh, Connery seems to have been chosen to garner a little publicity for this often under-rated show the son of a former incarnation of Robin Hood playing a modern-day Robin Hood. Blatantly stealing elements from RoS, and yet ignoring others make this film merely a pale imitation of RoS. Richard Carpenter's knowledge of both the legend of Robin Hood and beliefs in England at that time clearly show here - and it goes without saying that if the people behind "Prince Of Thieves" had this much insight and knowledge of the source material, their "Raw-bin Hood" would not have been so dismal.

Praed's swansong in "The Greatest Enemy" is one of the best episodes of any TV show I have seen in such a long time. Michael Praed's Robin Of Loxley was certainly a better Robin than Jason Connery's, but that isn't to take anything away from Connery. The Sheriff Of Nottingham breaks away from the usual mustache-twirling, scenery-eating bad guy, and has more in common with a corrupt politician than his previous incarnations.

As well as taking me back to a time in my life when the words "mortgage" and "bills" meant anything to me - and when Saturday night prime-time entertainment didn't involve reality TV, people wanting to be pop stars and hour-long programmes to pick lottery numbers when I could do it myself in ten minutes at the most) - there is no other TV show or movie about Robin Hood that even comes close to being on a par with "Robin Of Sherwood." Every member of this young cast brings their character to life, and the Merry Men are perfectly written and acted. There is nothing more I can add to what has already been said about the entire series.
