my review of "Tenchu Stealth Assanins" is that its a great game to play. its a really fun game and it doesnt get boring. most games do after a while. but this game is different. it has a good story to it and theres actually a point to the game. some games, u just beat and thats the end. this game is able to play again because u can get all kinds of different ranks for how u play. kinda like golden eye for n64, but a lot more fun.

Tenchu puts you into the world of fuedal Japan, where you play as either Rikimaru or Ayami, which are servants sent by there master to complete misssions for him. The game is great, setting you in 3-d environments, up against samuria, animals, and demons. But this is no run around and kill people type of game, you must complete your missions with stealth and cunning. But no game is perfect. Camera angles may get bad at times, most of the time in the heat of battle, and the voice acting could be better. Though having its problems, Tenchu is awesome. A must have for any action/adventure gamer

The Enemy will be skillful and ruthless!

My older brother introduced me to this wicked game in late 1998 and I was totally blown away. This game can be so involving it makes you feel like you're a real ninja. The cheat codes actually enhance the gameplay, making the game all the more fun. I liked some of the hammy acting and dialogue -- it added to the fun! If you want a great action game that really pulls you in and involves you, play this -- better yet, BUY IT! You won't be sorry!

EXCELLENT

Well thought-out, nicely done levels. You are a ninja and you need to think your way through the levels. With various items, you can lure a guard out or make a decoy. This game is for the person who likes stealth with their action, and don't we all? The secret debug mode lets you make your own levels! I've had this game for a year now and STILL play it constantly because you can do so much with the debug code after you've mastered the game. People say it's too easy. Well, tell me, have you been able to beat it without being seen by a guard!

A really fun game when it comes to killing and sneaking around. There are alot of really neat items you get. Such as smoke bombs, shurikens, gernades and lots more. With lots of action came a big challenge, although Once you get experienced with fighting and blocking etc. the game gets quite easy with only 10 levels. I beat the game in a week and a half. They have a good training level for when you first buy the game which is really helpful to test out killing. If you liked METAL GEAR:SOLID you'll probably like this game alot.

Wonderfully violent game.

I can't say enough good things about this game. The controls are dead-on, the japanese gardens and houses add to a wonderful atmosphere and the 2 main characters are well done. The AI of the enemies lacks a little. For example; when you throw a bowl of poisoned rice the enemy will turn their back to you and go for the rice like a zombie to brains. As soon as they turn their back you can jump down (or out) and kill them before they even pick up the rice. The AI is supposed to be beefed up in part 2. I personally thought the voice acting was cool. Instead of some horrid amateur voice the voiceovers are done by japanese people speaking in THICK accents. As for the replay value, it's great. Once you beat all the levels with both characters you can go back through with a code (not a cheat) and play the level again with a whole new layout of enemies and items. There are three layouts per board, a, b, and c. Some of which are quite challenging. This is not a pure action game though. You have to be stealthy and slick to gain the rank of grandmaster on every layout of every board. I would highly recommend this to anyone who remotely enjoys video games.

Rips the guts out of Playstation Gaming!

This is a beauty! The first time I heard about this game I sweated in anticipation. Was it worth the wait? Yep it certainly was.

The thing that drew me to this game was the sheer inventiveness behind it. All other ninja games were basic platformers, incorporating tedious sword slashing and maybe throwing a projectile. But here they went straight for the throat literally! Here you play a ninja assassin! Great idea! Sneak behind your enemies by rolling between cover and stalking walls. Before reaching and killing them in a single hit. Awesome!

What made this game a real gem though was the enemy AI. It is belting! They don't simply walk all the time. Sometimes you find them sleeping, other times they are placed so that they are nearly always watching each other. Then there are dogs that sniff you out and alert the guards. So it maybe simple early on but later if you want to get the coveted Grand Master rank you will require all the ninja skill and honour you possess.

There were only ten levels in the game, but they were varied. One level you're sent to kill an evil merchant who is bent on earning cash through dirty methods while other times you have to find a certain item, reclaim a castle, and another few.

The music was also great, from simple easy music for the merchant, to an awesome orchestrated piece for one of the later bosses.

items were well thought of too. You can go into first person mode and throw a shuriken at people wherever you choose. But really evil is the way that you can lure guards and dogs away from their posts by chucking a pot of poisoned rice in their path, ready for you to run behind them and mercilessly gut them!

There were a few flaws though, sometimes the camera cocked up and you couldn't see what was happening. But these are only minor faults that don't detract from the gameplay at all.

If you wished to be a true ninja this is the closest thing to it ever! Comes highly recommended...

...Good as a first attempt

The stealth market is one that is hard to master, realistic, but fair AI is the hardest task. While tenchu is an all around good game, the AI could use a lot of work. If I am seen, I don't want to just be forgotten if a timer runs out, I want them to run to each guard spreading the word, I want them to have a lead on me, not just forget I existed. Other than this problem, Tenchu is an all around good first try at a stealth game, but it's not perfect.

Good game.

Tenchu. One of the best stealth games of the year. If you want to spy like a ninja, this is the game for you. Hide behind walls and climb the roofs of houses and sneak up on guards to kill them. Wow.
