Plot

The protagonists travels through forest and castle environments in medieval England, being assisted by other members of the Merry Men, such as Friar Tuck.[3][6]

Reception

The game generally received very negative reviews, with the PS2 version having an aggregated score on 15% on Game Rankings[2]

Ace Gamez awarded a poor 1/10 saying, "this shambles of a shell of a sham of a wreck of a ruin of a shadow of a 'dog ate my homework' standard excuse for a game was nothing more than an abominably programmed, hideously simplistic yet almost entirely unplayable piece of garbage".[4] In the same way Strategy Informer said the best moment of the game was "Listening to the fantastically laughable dialogue for the first time and wondering if a game can really be this bad."[6]
