| | IGN: Robin Hood: Defender of the Crown Preview |
 | | Robin Hood: Defender of the Crown takes its cue from the classic turn-based strategy style of games Might and Magic, Disciples 2, Warlords, and Lords of the Realm and to a larger degree, the board game-turned videogame Risk. |
 | | Essentially, if you've played Defender of the Crown before, or even Risk, this game plays much like those titles, with numerous lavish touches, from the seeming hours of dialog to the many story twists and surprisingly addictive battles. |
 | | Though few turn-based strategy games have made their way to PlayStation 2, this upgraded take on the old genre and the classic folklore is handled excellently, whether it's through the enjoyably tongue-in-cheek conversations, via the fierce struggles, or by means of the archery, jousting and sword fighting mini-games. |
