I think this game is very underappreciated especially for how old it is and even today it's beautiful, just a classy old way of making games, everything had to be at some decent level not like today when they usually focus on graphics. i suspect that this game is the reason i'm such a fun of medieval times. I remember as a kid i sometimes stayed at the top of Derby castle for a while just to listen to that amazing music and look down there from the top at all these fields, dirt paths, wooden huts in the background and that mist/fog around. But there was also lots of humour in the dialogues. What i always loved in Legend of Sherwood was that amazing atmosphere of medieval times, the masterpiece music, great voice actors/dialogues and charismatic characters even how the game showed the poor people, farmers, how the guards abused their power over the villagers. I'll take them over Kevin Costner any day.I was just remembering the old days and this beautiful game, and a random idea came to my mind, how cool would it be if the same studio (if it even still exists) or someone else, made a Robin Hood Legend of Sherwood remake in a modern style aka Assasins Creed or Elden Ring or whatever (im not that much into new titles but u know what i mean). To this day I wish they could have gotten Michael Praed or Jason Connery to reprise the Robin Hood role for "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves".
A great show with great stories and a great cast. Nikolas Grace was a great Sheriff, Robert Addie an over the top Gisbon. Williams as Much, and Mark Ryan as the strong silent type, Nasir. Clive Mantle was a lovable Little John, as was Phil Rose as Friar Tuck, Peter L. In the game, the player controls up to five characters in a setting based on the stories of the protagonist, Robin Hood. It is similar to games such as Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive and the Commandos series. Ray Winstone was an intense and dangerous Will Scarlet. Robin Hood: The Legend of Sherwood is a 2002 stealth-based real-time tactics video game developed by Spellbound Entertainment. Judi Trott was a beautiful and believable Marion who had to stand up to have a place for herself in Sherwood.
What I find ironic is that Jason's character, Robert/Robin 2, has the noble man who rejects his heritage origin that is often attributed to Michael's character, Robin of Loxley. This is not to say that Jason, while more of a pretty boy, did not have his moments (the best part of Jason's reign was watching him struggle to prove he was a worthy successor). I think they're both capable actors and they both brought something different to the show, but while Michael and Jason's Robin Hoods were both likable characters, I think I like Michael better as he had that dark, brooding intensity about him. I was surprised to read in the archives of reviews that many people prefer Jason over Michael, since people often get more attached to the first guy (maybe it's name recognition). But both Michael and Jason's characters become known as Robin Hood and/or the Hooded Man. The show ran for about 4 seasons I think, the first two featured Michael Praed as Robin of Loxley, and the last two featured his successor, Robert of Huntington, played by Jason Connery (Sean's son Sean also played Robin Hood in case you didn't know, in "Robin & Marion" opposite Audrey Hepburn's Maid Marion). And the two Robins are later given a magic sword, Albion (which later became the name of our family dog). Herne is to both Robin Hoods (Praed, Connery) what Merlin was to King Arthur. After watching this and "Excalibur" one misty day, I noticed that some of the myths here were similar to Arthurian legend. It’s been running for well over 30 years now every August.
The music was also pretty cool, haunting and beautiful. A place where the legend of Robin Hood is brought alive each year is the annual Robin Hood Festival at Sherwood Forest.

All the other tellings told of Robin Hood's rise to heroism and then his ultimate triumph and then that was it and while it was certainly fun, this series seemed to have more meat to its bones because of its introducing all those mythical elements. What I liked best about this show growing up and still like best (although I do have more appreciation for Judi Trott) was the mysticism of the show. Since I grew up watching this by many fires on misty and snow bound nights, it is probably my favorite telling of the Robin Hood story.

My dad taped a bunch of these off TV when they were imported here to the States and he recently re-purchased them off the net in two gift packs dividing the two seasons and two Robin Hoods as "The Praed Collection" and "The Connery Collection".
