Tenchu Z

Tenchu fans will definitely not be disappointed. Tenchu Senran is easily the best Tenchu game to date. [JPN Import]

The Tenchu series needs a series reinvention, but Z plays just well enough to warrant a look for anyone with a thirst for honourable blood.

If you liked the predecessor Tenchu games, then you’ll like Tenchu Z, at least a little. FromSoftware and K2 must have obviously not devoted a lot of their resources to this game, though.

Tenchu Z is a pretty lousy entry to the series, and is one Xbox 360 title that doesn’t flex any next-gen muscle.

Appalling AI. [Issue #22, p.86]

The single-player campaign doesn’t even contain a full-blown plot. To add to this laundry list of blunders, the multiplayer is a snore-fest and a lag-laden cesspool. In short, avoid Tenchu Z like the plague and never look back.

The pithy cut-scenes are about as easy to follow as a quantum physics lecture and are as elaborately detailed as a newspaper comic strip.

A very underrated game, very recommended! I have over 200 hours on this game and I am still playing, too bad people aren't online anymore to play it...

I liked this stealth game, because I’m fan of the world of Tenchu and Japanese culture. The story was quite slow but not bad at all. The best thing in this game is the detailed and complex controls. A lot of abilities, movements, equipment is available for the player. Although some of them don’t have sense, but they give many opportunities and variability to the player. The stealth system is quite detailed, for example we have to pay attention to our smell not only to the sight and noise. Unfortunately, the artificial intelligence of the enemies is very bad. The developers should have paid much more attention to this while AI is a key component of stealth games. Furthermore the game doesn’t reward the ghost gameplay style. We get the most points if we kill all the opponents. Maybe the largest mistake in the game is the repetating missions. It was a disapointment, when i had to finish the same mission under a different title. Gamers, who like stealth games give it a try.

I've always loved the Tenchu series,and though this game is a technical nightmare.I just don't care about that for once.Wanna be a Ninja and do Ninja stuff?This is it.

A hidden gem from the studio fromsoftware, very good game with amazing stealth gameplay!

Oh zut alors, encore une exclu 360, encore une archi-sous-merde infernale ! ah tout s'explique, From Software l'éditeur-étron est l'auteur de cette "production"... Ne pas s'attendre à un Splinter ni même à la médiocrité d'un MGS, ici tout est fait en dépit du bon sens : l'interface, la maniabilité défectueuse (devoir maintenir le bouton appuyé pour rester accroupi par exemple...), l'IA totalement **** de la tête, les nombreux problèmes de caméra et, cerise sur le sushi, les graphismes qui ont deux générations de **** voire trois.
