No one should give this game higher than a 7.5. I own it and have had fun playing it. It's by no means earth shatteringly awesome, but it's still fun for fans of the series.

The Bad:Some of the worst AI you'll ever see; missions are repetitive; combat is lousy; most levels can be beaten by simply running right through them.

Oh well, if people decide to buy the garbage...just let them.

There are only 3 mandatory battles in the game. If you are using 'combat' you are a terrible ninja. Same goes for 'just running through the levels.' The fun of the game comes from the super stealth kill mechanics, which the reviewer here at GS obviously sucked at. I think a stealth fan should have written the review instead. I hate sports and racing games, so you wouldn't want me to review Forza or Madden, but that's exactly what happened here with Tenchu Z.

I agree. I try to sneak through every single mission and level 5 it. In some missions you actually do have to stay hidden, or it's mission over.

I know you were down on Z earlier, shock... are you glad you picked it up or do you have buyer's remorse?

I am glad I picked it up. I saw the 4.9 review before I bought it, so I knew what I was getting myself into. It is such a horribly flawed disaster in most aspects, but it's like crack, and I can't wait to get the next hit.

I loved PD0. Just goes to show you, the quantification of art is pretty pointless... it's the points in the articles that we should be discussing more than the values they assign to the games.

This is extremely stupid. Personally, I did purchase Tenchu Z, and it is now one of my most played games on the 360 at the moment. If someone rates Halo 3 a 4.9, would you not want to try it because it got a bad review? Or, would you actually think for yourself and try it... don't let critics, and video game reviewers decide what you should play and or purchase! Every single person has an opinion about every little subject... instead of following opinions, get your own opinion!

Worst AI? I'd say that has to go to Lost Planet. :o

But thats not important. The Important detail is that you need to stop typing about how your opinion is better than others. Just chop off your hands and do the world a favor.

The AI in Tenchu Z is much worse than in Lost Planet.

This game is truly only for hardcore fans! I cant understand how anyone could think this is entertainment, people giving 9.0-10.0's are getting so many reccomendations for there reviews i just dont understand why. Im sorry I wasnt playing the old Tenchus, but I still dont see any great signifigance in this game. The missions are very repetitive, maybe the people who gave the games good reviews only played the first few levels, because the other 47 will be the same through. Please tell me what you think about this game Tenchu Z, in my opinion people are making it seem much better than it is!lil_zelda_dude

So you are saying that the game was so terrible and yet, still you played through all 50 levels. There had to be something good there. I gave the game a fair review. The game is good and its fun, I didnt give it a 9 or 10 not even a 8. People are just giving their opinions nobody can make you go buy it. You act like you never paid for a game that it turns out that you didnt really like too much. It happens get over it.

You're right I didn't buy it, I didn't even rent it. When I see a review that bad I stay away... if I see a review from some random person that gives it 10/10, what am I supposed to think? No offense but you people are all the same, you get a game that got terrible reviews and you spend your day defending it on the forums. I am judging the game by the reviews it got, and from trusted sites it got bad reviews. There's always a few people claiming it's the best game and that the gamespot review means nothing... then one day the dust settles and they wonder why they didn't just rent it, now they're stuck with it.ag1002

What you are saying makes no sense: For one thing, people are not going to give a game a 10 if they didnt really enjoy it just out of spite. It just happens that they love the game. Second these forums are all about stating opinions so if someone post a forum about a game that they think sucks, a person who likes it is naturally going to speak out. (what do you think they aregoing to do). Finally, nobody is ever stuck with a game. You may take a loss but you are never stuck with a game. That whole remark you made was just not well thought out. (no offense) I just believe in if you say something then make it valid.

So you have played all 50 levels to know that the other 47 are no good? Seems to me that people are welcome to try the demo or rent the game and as for the 9.0 and 10's I think allot of that is to offset the just as ridicules 1's and 2's.

Dude, different strokes for different folks. Take the movie, Norbit for example... it could be any movie really. That movie got horrible reviews across the board, but theres a lot of people out there who probably loved it (not me, never saw it... just an example). Some people will want to go out and buy the DVD when it's available. My point is, reviews are a personal opinion, and that's it.

Some people knowingly checked out the review and went out and bought it anyway. Many people don't care about game reviews and don't let that base how much fun they're going to get out of a game. A lot of them are enjoying it and could care less what people like you think. Let them be.

jacksheets

Thank you!!!!! To add to that I keep seeing people saying things like only trust proffessional reviews and not the ones of random people. The people from gamespot are just gamers like us but they expext a lot out of these games so they have to be tough on them. A game could be fun as**** but if there are a bunch of small flaws, it will get a low score but for all you know they could be sitting at home playing the game saying " I had to give this a bad review for the technicalities but it is fun" you never know. The only real opinion to trust is your own. And shout out to Jacksheets, I see you in these forums all the time and you really put things in perspective.

To be honest It does not really seem like you played the game with that "the other 47 levels are just the same" comment. Any one who has played even through the first ten levels will think you are wrong on that. I mean even when you get to mission 8 you are just now getting the first daytime mission. And the first secret mission, mission 7, is the first mission where there is a larger indoor caslte where you have to search for a specific item. Those are just a couple examples that make your statement invalid.

sad to see some poeple not interested in buying games because of opinions. you should ALWAYS play a demo or borrow a copy to play so you can make your own judgement. gamespot gave original amped a horrible review yet its the best snowboarding game i've ever played.

It may be fun, but it just isn't worth 60 bucks. And just because it's a little fun people are in denial and convince themselves that it's a good purchase.

I don't go buying every game that is a bit of fun. Only the ones that are truly good games and keep me occupied.

None of you are going to play this game longer then a few weeks. Admit when you have made a crappy purchase.

Sure I did. Opinions differ. I know that. But this game isn't a game that is good. There is so much stuff wrong with it. Even someone who likes this sort of game will not like Tenchu Z for long or at all.

Let me know in a month if you still play it.

All I have to say is if you want to try it out because you either think it's good or horrible just rent it. I personally really like this game but that's just my opinion. Rent it and see if you like it or not.

QFT! I still play Tenchu on PS2, and it has the same flaws. I'll be playing this game until the next Tenchu comes out, and even after that. I think he was praising DiRT, and it's halfbaked online. DiRT is fun, but it won't be a game I'll play after I beat it.

Its about the same for all those who say "Halo is the best!" etc etc. its all personal preference.

And i can tell by your Topic that YOU sir....bought.. the game...didnt you?... lol.

Anyway, yeah we know its not the greatest. But i think it does have substance 4.9 was a pathetic review. He reviewed jack crap about it.

YES teh levels can be repetative.

YES the graphics are not the best in the world

NO the gamplay is not boring because there are many things to buy and earn during the course of the game.

NO The combat system isent clunky. The guy probably just wasnt used to it or flat out WAS NOT GOOD AT IT. He was probably expecting it to be along the lines of Ninja gaiden combat. It is NOT supposed to be that fast.

NO It is not a shallow game. As i said before It has some replay value, with the co op multiplayer (though short with 4 players i admit.. i try to keep it to a 2 ninja squad) Its pretty fun, hidden items and the like. I think its rather impressive. Though certainly not at the TOP of my preferences. I do not believe the game should be overlooked.
