Customer Reviews of Tenchu Z

THey figured out how to beat the dead horse after it fully decomposed!
I was a HUGE fan of the first couple Tenchu games on Playstation. Then they just kept on tossing out cheap ports packaged as "new games". No innovation, no updating the experience, just the same old stuff with slightly new level maps. Now, with the Xbox 360, they have released YAT ANOTHER cheap port of the same old game. The graphics are awful for a 360 game, the controls are clunky and slow, the level maps are ridiculously lame looking and un-detailed, the bad guys are just as stupid and dense as they were on the Playstation 1. I wish people would stop buying these games so that the developer would be forced to take a hard look at the franchise and either stop making it or properly update it and make a good game. The first couple were so fun and tense, real white knuckle gaming. Then it just got boring. Not taking advantage of the potential on the 360 is just stupid and I feel sorry for people who basically threw away $60 on a game that is not worth $10.

Don't Waste Your Money
Okay, I am one of those people who will not give a very good review on this game. I realize that in the game the character is a ninja, that's a given, but the game is horribly repetitive. Sure, you kill people, but the same type of people over and over again? Here is a breakdown of the missions you will be given; Assassinate someone, find the secret documents, kill all the enemies or find the 10 bombs. That's about it. It's the absolute same all the way through it. <
>Sure, you do kill people but if you notice that the level of the enemies really doesn't increase that much. You will go through many different towns several times through out the game. I would not recommend this game to anyone and I am sorry that I ever bought the game because there is no challenge to it at all. I have played the Splinter Cell games over and over and one thing about it is that the first three games you never go through the same place twice and the missions change throughout the game in that you have to do different missions to complete each level, not this one, it's the same thing over and over and over again. So, don't waste your money, unless you are a major fan of the game and then I would only spend about five bucks on it because more than that is a complete waste.

Fun to be a Ninja!
Ok I'll cut right to the chase and address some of the gripes people seem to be having about this game, then give my review. <
> <
>1)The missions are too repetetive??: Ok people, you're a NINJA and you KILL people or gather intelligence. BUT, no matter what the primary objective is... you are going to have to kill lots of people! What is wrong with that? What kind of missions do YOU people think should be in here? Maybe a gathering firewood mission or steal money to give to the poor? <
> <
>2)The AI sucks?? Ok, the AI might not be the greatest (like MOST games) but you have to put the time factor into perspective. In REAL life, if a guard sees you and you run, you'd stay gone for an hour or a day or week, THEN come back to complete the mission. Obviously the developers were smart in realizing people want things not quite that realistic so they sped things up a bit to where the guards forget about you after a minute or so. I see no problem with that, under the circumstances. <
> <
>So, my review is very positive. I've only done the first mission so far, BUT I've done it like four times and done things differently EVERY time. That is the magic of this game. There are so many options open to you. You can hide in bushes, water, on top of buildings, UNDER buildings, and you can constantly buy new equipment and items to help you out on missions. It's a very welcome step to the game and makes you feel like your "building" your ninja more. <
> <
>True, the combat aspect of the game is a little stale by modern standards, but of course this is a stealth game, so its not all that surprising that they don't focus so much on that. If I had one real wish for improvement, though, I guess that would be it. <
> <
>Make NO mistake: This game is FUN and you feel like a ninja, like you're really in the thick of enemy territory. I found myself holding my breathe more than a few times. The improved stealth-kill system is awesome, even including multiple kills. <
> <
>If you are a true fan of the series, pick up the game, no question. You won't be sorry.
