Excellent Game!!

The game is pretty hard to pick up, and is very slow to get into. Those that find it frustrating to have to sneak around everywhere will not like this game. This is primarily a stealth game, even though there are combo moves and other movements which involve sword to sword combat. The default controls are somewhat hard to figure out, as default controls are pretty much reversed vs other games (I kept hitting B and A as I was attempting to attack, while X is the attack button. Also, I was having extreme problems with the camera. As many of the situations involve the roof, holding onto a ledge or whatnot, I found it extremely frustrating that I was not able to peer down as often, or peek up.

Besides that, it's pretty cool. It's been a long time coming since a Ninja Stealth game like this has come along that has done well. Tenchu Z features many different combos, hundreds of different clothing combinations, and many different item styles. The storyline is linear, but long enough to satisfy. The one thing I do love about the game is the ability to do Online Coop, one thing that 360 games have been excellent at creating lately. You can use your current character to travel to different missions to help you out. Of course if you are lacking in the Gold department, System Link Co-op is supported.

One thing, however, online, I was kinda dissapointed with a versus Online mode. All online modes involve Online Co-op.
