Tenchu Z

Gamespot's review of Tenchu Z was pretty harsh. The game is actually pretty cool compared to most Japanese slashers.

I was pretty skeptical. I got roped into the promises of a good samurai warrior game with the Dynasty and Samurai warrior titles. Those are so boring they must be the standard FPS for Japanese culture. Tenchu Z has some of the repetitiveness those games are notorious for but the stealth , gore, clothing and cool weapons make it fun and creative.

I found the 4 player co-op via Xbox Live to be very fun. Working together in a stealthy way to massacre samurai is fantastic. After making a few purchases on the name and cover I was surprised of the quality and unique game play. I am a tough critic so it shows you how low my expectations are for this genera. So give this game a try I think you'll be surprised. It's no Gears of War but it has it's moments.
