This game, was definately the best tenchu game that has been in the series. Definately worth getting, if you are the kind of gamer who likes, to get in to a game, and play it like its meant to be played, and really immerse yourself into the role of your character. This game is NOT, for people who just want to sword fight and stomp through a level and beat it fast. This is a game that puts you in the role of a ninja in a clan back in China's Feudal era. This game is a great game to play, if you like ninjas. Just take your time and play the part as a ninja!

Really the only complaint i have about this game, is that the voice overs are japanese....but subtitles are readable. I would just rather the characters talk in english.

I have not only spotted the unjust scoring on this game, but in other games, too, i used to always check gamespot for reviews before i bought a game, but now it isn't quite as reliable. I think this game deserves way better. It is great. You just have to play the role, and not rush things. 8.9 EASY.
I will start by agreeing with many that this game is indeed under-rated. A score below 5 is absolutely abysmal, with no redeeming qualities whatsoever. I think Tenchu deserves a score in the 7's for this reason: it's ... Read Full Review
This is my first time playing Tenchu so try to keep this in mind. I can't relate to any of the past titles, so this is a review from a new player. Before I actually purchased the game, I downloaded the demo from XBOX... Read Full Review
