If only more of this team's games were ported to the Mac! This is one of the best games I've played in years. Like some other strategy games, you control a team with various abilities, and there are multiple solutions to many of the challenges. But in this one, you get to be Robin Hood! There's a path for those who like to kill and ways to win with almost no bloodshed. It has humor, drama, and spectacular scenery. There's a satisfying number of challenges but a widely varied range of difficulty settings. I can't say enough good things about this game. It's easier and more low-key than Starcraft or Diablo--two of my all-time favorites. And it's slightly less engrossing than Escape Velocity, the best game ever designed for the Mac. But the blend of story, intercut movies, voices, and game play is almost impossible to beat. I can't believe that "Dead or Alive," this team's other game, isn't available for OS X. It's almost enough to make me want a PC.

this game is awesome!! you have to manage your group of up to five heroes and sneak into a castle to fulfill certain objectives without killing anyone, if possible. what makes this fun is the use of quick actions that can be programmed. it makes you feel like a god when your heroes perform a serious of well timed actions to overcome several guards on the watch, by pressing a button that starts several well programmed quick actions that interact with each other in just the perfect way.... a lot of trial and error is involved in this process, so when you finally use the perfect strategy, it is so much fun!!!

I was not very impressed with this game. The graphics are fairly elementary and the action is pretty routine. It would appeal to some, but after playing such great games as Civilization 3, I just was not enthused about Robin Hood.
