There are alot of set backs with the new Tenchu - but also alot of great things to it. You will be able to make your own character, but buying his upgrades, skills, even clothes. With that said - you are not able to review clothes before buying them so its hit or miss as to it being something you like or not. The items are well put together and fun to use - alot of people tend to stay away from them, but I enjoy using them, the cost is abit high as compaired to the amount of income you get from missions. Easy to hard settings for the AI is ok, it seems as though their vision is the only thing that improves on hard - they spot you faster, and react faster, other then that it still seems like its easy. Their paths are repeative, so you can always wait for them to return if you miss them the first time - which is great for the gamer and all, but bad for AI - I want more AI socialization, they talk, but rarely. As for the online play - when you sit down for a random quick game you're going to find a team of under-aged brats that want to just run in and kill everything and just waste your time at being stealthy. There are afew that hunt quietly with you as well, but at a cost - its more a less a race unless its a friend you're playing with to kill the bad guys. The bosses are ok - and the end mission is fun. I over all like the game and enjoy the game play. The combat is not bad in opinion, but from engaged in face to face combat you loose points - which I hate. Once you teach your character more powerful attack moves and blocks, combat becomes fun and fast pace... lovely when your facing more then one fella at once. No one on my friends list has it - and it seems like a dead title... which is abit sad, you'll invest around 7-10 hours on medium difficulty if you play ALL the missions... but as the gamespot review said - it does become abit repeative, they needed to look for more ways to spice the game up abit.

Perhaps if they didn't force you to be a ninja, maybe a samuri warrior class instead... or take the Splinter Cell approach and make it so you can also be a guard and protect the VIP as well. The game takes a minute or two to learn the controls and become decent with them, there are 3 different ways to perform jumps alone... then ontop of that you've got to hold the right bumper before landing or it will be a loud one... simple things like this put this game up in score for me, they just became focused on afew wrong things.
