Weak

A swing and a miss

I was really interested in this title, because I've been a long-time fan of the Tenchu series. Ubisoft published this one, and should have ignored it and created something else. I only played a couple levels, but you don't get a sword as a weapon until you find one laying around, and only get to use it 10 times. All kills must be stealth barehanded assassinations, and if you have a sword equipped and someone spots you, you must defend against their attacks by pressing the directional buttons which is difficult. I repeatedly died over the 2 hours I played, and never made it past the 2nd level.

This game had the same levels recreated from the first game for the psone, and the only thing new seemed to be the battle system, which is difficult and tiresome. I hated this game, and mailed it back this morning, I can't deal with the frustration of this weak addition to the series. Hard to believe the people who made Assassin's Creed could fail so miserably with an otherwise awesome series.

but.. not bad .. not bad..

this game is all about stealth. Don't expect a lot of action like other ninja games.

the graphic is pretty good (but why are all the enemies in each level looks exactly the same??) combat controls could take a little use too.. but so far.. i didn't notice any glicthes or bugs wihin the game..

once you get used to the controls. you can move around and stealth kill and plow pass the level pretty quick.

this is an interesting game.. but not for everyone.. especially those who looking a lot of action sine it's a ninja game.

Once you know how to use the controls well.. you can enjoy this game to the fullest.
