Ex: One level you'll have to kill some monk, 3 levels later you have to kill another person, and the level is the same except your AI's position and your starting point. Graphics are not up to par compared to many 360 titles, as well. Tenchu will keep you busy while you are waiting for your upcoming 2007 realease, so try it out.
