 Game Description

After the disappearance of Rikimura, the ninja Ayame began traveling the land in search of her mentor. Stumbling upon a burning village filled with the slain and dying, she quickly encountered the only survivor - another ninja named Rin. With years of training and hearts filled with revenge, the fierce warriors employ ancient skills - super vision, wall running, enemy freeze, and more - to determine who brought about this hideous crime. Gamers will now experience the world of Tenchu from two different perspectives - Ayame, the master of stealth from previous Tenchu games, or Rin, the new female ninja lead. In addition to using new and improved stealth kill combos to take out multiple enemies with one attack, players will have to use stealth tactics to avoid detection, such as moving bodies and swim under the cover of water out of enemy site, to make it through the eighteen levels of gameplay. With three gameplay modes, refined gameplay mechanics and tons of unlockables, Tenchu is a must have for fans of the stealth-action genre.

Features:

  • Kill multiple enemies at once with new and improved stealth kill combos
  • Play as either Ayame or Rin, collecting weapons and items for more powerful attacks and defense
  • Avoid detection by moving bodies and swim under the cover of water out of enemy site

For Fans , February 23, 2005
Reviewer: J. Leigh "jleigh7" (chicago) - See all my reviews
If you are fan of the series then it's worth buying.
If you have never played the series before, play the original Tenchu for PS1 before playing any of the others in the series. If you are however considering THIS game and have never played the series before, play Tenchu Wrath of Heaven which should be at great discount now.

Pros:
- Game still gets adrenaline going.
- Fans of Tenchu series will like this as an add-on for the series.
- Story appears to be told from 2 points of view like in the film Rashomon.

Cons:
- Non fans will find this game dated- especially having played Metal Gear Solid and Splinter Cell. Just remember that the original Tenchu came out roughly at the same time as Metal Gear so it is one of the pioneers in the field- which is why it has such a strong, but niche, following.
- Camera is still as difficult as previous Tenchus- but fans will have no problems. Non fans will probably want to throw their controller at the screen.
- Models of characters seem rather chunky even for PS2.
