Customer Review: Tenchu
Summary: 3 Stars

This is not a bad game to play. But I did not really like as much as I thought I would.

Description of Tenchu: Stealth Assassins

Stealth is the way of the ninja, and now you have chance to become one in TENCHU: Stealth Assassins. You take role of the powerful Rikimaru or the speedy Ayame, and your goal is to protect you master and defeat his enemies in 10 missions. All of the missions require you to sneak around an environment and kill specific targets. Since attacking head-on will result in an untimely demise, you need to avoid the guards if at all possible. If there is a guard that refuses to get out of the way, there are several options: use the grappling hook and sneak around on the rooftops, leave a poisoned rice treat for him, or just get behind him and slit his throat. If you can get through a mission unseen, you will earn a bonus item for the next one. Master the ways of the ninja with TENCHU: Stealth Assassins.
Cast as either the male Rikimaru or the female Ayame, you are a ninja assassin hired to right the wrongs of the land. To aid you in your missions, you have access to a whole arsenal of ninja tools, including a sword, flash grenades, smoke bombs, grappling hooks, poison pills, and throwing stars. Be assured you will need every resource to fight your way through the maze of houses, gardens, forests, and castles in ancient Japan.

Your target must be eliminated at all costs, but the code of your honorable clan instructs you to harm no innocents. The wise ninja chooses his or her battles; stealth, deception, avoidance, and distraction are the tools of your trade. But sometimes combat with guards is unavoidable, and Tenchu offers the best of both third-person action games and two-person fighting games with an interface that allows for multiple forms of attack and defense. Be warned: the animation in this game is not for the faint of heart. Blood flows freely and realistic sound effects and movie cut scenes make no attempt to hide the brutality of the assassination business. Overall a great game for fans of Japanese animation or martial arts. --Allen Stewart

Pros:

  • Exciting martial arts moves
  • Nonlinear levels--choose your own path to the target
  • Different moves for Rikimaru and Ayame
  • Use of many ninja weapons and tools
Cons:
  • Very gruesome violence
  • Occasionally awkward camera angles
  • Poor character voice-overs in cut scenes
