Most people might not enjoy this game because of its sneaky/slow paced style. But fans of Thief should.

The Game itself does break down barriers or set standards. A lot of people might find it boring and slowed paced. But fans of the thief series would enjoy the sneaking around and non-linear stages. Much like thief, you approach the mission and have to do some snooping around and eliminating opponents to progress. This also is a little bit like Hitman, but in hitman you have the option to go in guns-a-blazing where as in Tenchu Z, the path will lead to dismal results.
One noticible problem this game has is with the stages, they will quickly feel redundant and leave you with a sense of deja-vu. The variety comes with the lay-out of the enemies.
If you enjoy Ninjas in the classical stabby in the back sense, and enjoy slowing things down to be that classical stabby in the back kinda of guy, then you should enjoy this game.
