This is one of the best games I have played for the 360, yes the AI isn't increadible but I think it works really well for this game, the graphics could use a little work but overall I think this is a good starting point for what could be the best ninja game ever, the missions can get repetitive but like another reviewer said that is what I would have to belive it was like for a ninja assassin. Great replay ability, one of the kind story, and challenging. This game would have been a 5 star game for me if the character shadows were better (they can be seen through floors and hard walls sometimes)other than that this game is one of if not the best Ninja and all around game I have ever played. I would recommend this to everyone, and I cannot wait for the next release.

Good Game

This game was fun. The graphics were pretty good . The customization was a cool improvement. There were no demons in this which I also liked.

Be patient, and PRACTICE!

First of all, I am VERY critical when it comes to reviewing.
This is a great game, BUT,... you must be patient, as a ninja would be. I suggest a lot of practice before starting, in the tutorial. That way it is much more fun, and rewarding while accomplishing missions. Graphics are up to speed, as the 360 is famous for. Overall, worth the money, and time.

This is probably the most pleasant gaming surprise for me in years. With mediocre or worse reviews across the board, I thought I knew for sure I was wasting my $34.99 buying a used copy. Lucky for me, I love ninjas.

The graphics are pretty standard, nothing special, but not bad either. If anything it looks like a really nice original Xbox game with some textures that wouldn't be possible previously. Unlike many games of the current generation, I have experienced no technical problems whatsoever. That means no frame rate stutters, reasonable load times, and no object pop in. As for the art design, if you love Japan, or ninjas for that matter, you'll love the visual style of the game, although the scenery does change quite a bit as the game progresses, but I won't ruin that for you.

The sound is perfect for what the game needs. The sound effects work great, and I can't imagine them needing to be any better. The soundtrack itself is very subtle, but can build up at times, creating effective tension as you stalk through the shadows.

The controls are all responsive enough, and work just fine for taking down your enemies. The character animations are very fluid, and its awesome to go from rooftop to rooftop. This is probably the only ninja game I've ever played to actually use stealth, and trust me, if you don't want to die, you'll use it.The stealth kills are especially awesome, and are always a pleasure to execute. The gore is over the top, making it all the more satisfactory when you kill a target or guard. There's a fair amount of character customization, but its mostly just in looks so it doesn't effect much, and the only item I ever really bought from the shop other than new costumes is med kits. The rest of the items really aren't all that useful.

I have a few problems with this game. The main one being that the combat is pretty stale, and sometimes even irritating when you aren't assassinating someone. My other complaint would be the graphics, I know i said they were fine, but I would like them to be better than fine if you know what I mean.

I enjoyed this game a great amount. Just another prime example of why you shouldn't pay that much attention to one single review. I actually find user reviews to be the best indicator on if a game was good or not, because they seem to focus more on if the game was fun, rather than nitpick at technical problems, or if its not revolutionary. That why I wrote this review, I felt that Gamespot wronged this game with a terrible score, and i want people to see another side of it. If you like Japan, Ninjas, or stealth, please at least give this game a rent.

This game is outstanding, except for a bit of bad graphics and a little variety of missions. If you are a ninja fan, Tenchu fan, or someone who wants to try something new, definatley pick this game up.

Super Fun but a few glitches

I was talked into buying this game by the guys at gamestop and boy am I glad I did. This game is great fun and is so much fun during mutiplayer co-op.

The game has great graphics and the sound is good except some of the music is boreing. I saw on gamespot that it got a 4.9 out of 10. That is just crazy talk. Everyone I know who has played this game or has watched someone play it says its great.

Some of the glitches are annoying but hopefully will get fixed, such as when you play on xbox live your chat goes in and out and the guys move choppy sometimes. I think this is a server issue but will get fixed.

Some of the animations can get choppy during gameplay but its not bad.

The fact that you can upgrade your guy by buying new costumes is great there is so much to choose from its amazing. You can also buy new attacks and ninja skills but the game doesnt force you to get them. If you are sneaky enough you can beat the game without ever getting any new attacks.

I highly recommend this game if you enjoy sneaking around in the shadows and stealth killing ninjas.....super fun and I am really glad I bought it.

freezes all the time

**NOTE, this review is based on the downloadable demo through X-Box Live Marketplace**

I downloaded the demo and played it through and the first thing I noticed was the controls were not as responsive as the past PS2 versions. The controls seem loose and a little choppy. I'm hoping that they cleaned it up in the retail version of the game, but I think probably not. Everything else is great as expected from the Tenchu series. Customizing your character is a welcome addition to the game and although I haven't tried it yet, I'm guessing online co-op will be amazingly fun. So although I have only played the demo I'll have to use Ockam's Razor to predict that the rest of the game will be just as fun. 4 stars because of the loose controls for movement and non-stealthy fighting.
