Tenchu Z released today and I was kind of hoping that the series could ressurect itself a bit on the 360. So has anyone picked it up or played it yet? Good, bad, ok? What is the verdict?

Really? Ah well, I should have figured as much. I do not have Live so I could not see for myself.

I liked it but it was too much like a PS2 game. While it wasn't terrible I won't spend $60 on it. I might just rent it b/c i think it's really cool hopping on rooftops or turning invisible and killing people.

I only played the demo, but the game should die and everyone who worked on it should be ashamed of themselves.

Wow....it's unanimous it seems. A pretty good indicator of how bad it must really be, lol. As you all know, normally with most games you get conflicting reviews and ultimately of course have to see for yourself if you like the game or not. The verdict seems pretty clear on this one though, therefore, I will stay far, far away. When most everyone seems to agree that a game sucks with little to no arguement....it usually means it is pretty bad.

It's just some dumb fun that's it. The only cool new addition is the co-op.

And btw I heard you can build up your character so later in the game you can fight just like in the previous Tenchus but this time more focus is put on stealth.

The people here are noobs . Find a way to play the demo maybe at a friends ... and decide for yourself, don't let the others decide for you. It's not great but no Tenchu game was but there are probably better games out there ...but not with Ninjas.

I disagree. Hour of Victory gets bonus points for at least trying to look next gen. Tenchu doens't even pretend to be next gen in any regard.

Oh believe me, I do not let people make my choices for me, lol. I just wanted to get a general feel for what people thought of the game, and the consensus seems to mainly be negative. I was not very optimistic for this title to begin with, but was hoping that it might turn out to be a decent game because I liked the first one years ago back on Playstation.

Regardless if it appealed to me or not though, it would probably only end up being a rental anyway. I only buy the games that I KNOW I that I will love, but I use opinions/reviews only in order to get a general feel for how good a game is. Not as a deciding factor in my purchases, lol.

Played the Demo and it was Lame.

in the beginning you have to choose a character and it just downhill from there.

graphics were laughable for a next-gen game.

gameplay = :?

overall, its the worst Demo on xbox live,right next to Cars:|

It's time for Tenchu to DIE DIE DIE! Tenchu =/= real ultimate power. MGS does stealth better and Ninja Gaiden does swordplay better. Tenchu fails at both.

I wish someone would make a really good stealthy ninja game, but I think it's going to be a while. Maybe if the Ninja franchise I'm making makes a splash in the ertainment industry, I can do something about it. ;)

No there not. I'm just stating that both games are bad, but hour of victory at least received effort in the graphics department.

Real Ultimate Power ftw. If you want a ninja that can flip out and kill everyone in a room, play Ninja Gaiden.

Remember when thinking about graphics, that it's a year old. Definately worth trying and if no sequal comes, worth buying. Tenchu is a series where you cant really change alot.

By the way all Tenchu games except Wrath of Heaven were bad scorewise so don't expect anything more from this one but if you liked those it might be good for you.

The original Tenchu makers went on to make Shinobido after the rights to Tenchu were bought out. Go check out that game for PS2 or PSP if you want the "original" or "real" Tenchu. But yeah - Tenchu Z is pretty weak!

It was absolutely horrendous...the graphics, the ai, the play mechanics, everything was vomit inducing.

Every person that worked on this game should be disowned from life and forced to live out their days on an island with only them and Jack Thompson....*evil laugh*:twisted:

Im sorry but it wasnt even worth the time it took to DL. It was a horrible PS2 game wrapped high-res package.

Even if this game was on the PS2 it would get a 5 on gamespot from lack of quality.

Complete garbage IMO.

Yep Shinobido was very decent, tho some of its missions were a bit tedious. Anyway, just forget about the graphics and what you expected from it in a next gen console, is it or is it not good for a tenchu game? Would you call it the best in the series? The worst?...

Its horrible the gameplay not even up to par with the first Tenchu and the graphics are first-gen PS2 graphics in HD. They are stupid for even putting a demo out for it should of just released it and hope some suckers bought it before they knew how bad it was.

and in the end, thats all that matters. tenchu fans have accepted the series shortcomings a long long time ago and I for one, couldn't be happier for what it is as a game.

Topic creator asked if it was abysmal or passable. It isnt passable in my opinion, so i picked abysmal. Still got a problem with that?
