Probably the least evolving series of all time.

Tenchu was a cool idea back in the days of PS1. Poisoned rice bowls companied with cool Ninja executions made for a promising game. Though never a fan of this game since games like MGS and such made easy work of this 1/2 hearted attempt at a Ninja stealth game. Sitting here thinking hmm...a new Tenchu but they all look the same, play the same, and seem to be doing the very same stuff they were doing years ago with the same clippy choppy graphics that make the game look old, boring, and cheap.

Downloading the demo of this game I tried to give it a thumbs up...I tried to tell myself I liked it...but within 1 minute of actual gameplay I was sick to my stomach. It looks like trash, the gameplay and AI are so uninspired its rediculous. This game has gone NOWHERE since PS1, every sequal is a joke as if to milk more money out of an old idea that could have been fun with some thought and effort. How they have the nerve to keep pumping this junk out and calling it a new game for full price I have no idea...the developers should be ashamed and fired...perhaps pulled out in a dark alley and fed some poisoned rice while they are getting what they have coming to them.

Terrible game...this game has gone nowhere and if you spend 60 bucks on this game your going to be upset...unless you just would have to have this game for some unknown reason. Maybe you sleep in a ninja mask and have the entire Tenchu game library in Poster form on your bedroom walls but other than that you need to avoid this game like the plague. The only redeeming factor of this game is you are a Ninja (SWEET), and you get to sneek up and kill people in a bloody fashion (NOT HOW IT SHOULD BE). Instead you run up so bored you dont care if you get seen, you manage to still get the kill animation and its terrible...the blood effects are miserable and the clipping of the characters looks so horribly cheap im just shocked this game is approved by Microsoft because its crap plain and simple.

The AI act like a bunch of identical looking morons that have no innovation whatsoever...a confrontation of a sword battle is about as WHACK-A-MOLE as it gets...just I cant say it enough...avoid this game.

Forget this franchise it died with the PS1...wait for a good Ninja title like Ninja Gaiden because this is NOT the place to find Ninja fun.

QUIT MAKING THIS FRANCHISE...ITS OVER!
