This new Tenchu game is awsome and packed with new stealth klls and combo moves. It is totaly better than the first tenchu. It all starts out in the past with a new player to fight with Tatsumaru. Awsome new levels and many more of them that would be 42 to be exact. Every character has a different story and better each time. Better graphics more blood and if you like gore theres lots of it, and if you like to be the one dishing it out then why dont you use your item selction screen packed with awsome new weapons to choose from with even my personal favorate the blow gun. Take down the Burning Dawn with your stealth and weapons kick a$$ like youve never kicked before. Thats why this game deserves a 5 two thumbs up plus fingers this game rocks!
great game idea, but not enough effort was put into it

The idea of being a ninja is a great game idea.I mean who wouldn't want to run around cutting people's throat? On a game of course. The game could be alot better.The graphics are terrible and it isn't realistic. Correct me if i'm wrong but I think the more realistic a game is the more fun it is. I hope if one of the creators for this game read this that they will make a much more realistic 3rd to this genre. Like I said before it is really a great great game idea but alot more effort should be put into it.
A good prequel, but not a great prequel

Tenchu 2 is what I call a good game to play because it offers great stealth combat. You could spend hours playing this game. Yet, if you ever played the first Tenchu then you will see a huge difference in the gameplay which I think takes away from the game. The story isn't very good at all. The best part of this game is the great stealth kills that you can do, and you could spend hours playing this game.

First of all don't to this website when they call this game a fighting game they couldn't be more wrong if you don't already know what Tenchu is then here is the low down you play the part of one of three characters Rikimaru, the classic ninja, Ayame the smart alick girl ninja, or Tatsumaru, the skilled heir to the Azuma ninja clan. In this game as opposed to the first there is actually a story to go with it rather then just random missions depending on the character you choose in this game your storyline will be different you must sneak through the shadows and kill with stealth ,as a true ninja would, if you are a skilled enough warrior of dark and attain the Grand Master ninja you will be rewarded with rare ninja items like flaming arrows, ninja armor and more. You will also be able to find new items scattered amongst the stages. Now when i said it was'nt a fighting game I meant it at least it isn't meant to be a fighting game but should you be spotted by the enemy you will be forced to fight or flee. **Hint always run away so you may live to fight another day** The only times you are forced fight is in boss battles. Be wary that your enemies will be alerted to your presence if you should callously leave a dead body laying around these real life situations combined with enhanced graphics will show you why this is such a good game (No more being seen through walls YEAH!) so just buy the game already
THE GREATEST GAME EVER!

This game has taken some heat from professional reviewers for not being up to the caliber of the original Syberia. In some ways, I agree with those reviews. As a stand-alone game, I don't think Syberia 2 measures up to the first game. HOWEVER, this is a continuation. Playing Syberia 2 without having played Syberia is akin to opening up a 1000 page novel and starting at page 500, and then wondering why you don't care much about the characters. Yes, Syberia 2 picks up exactly where Syberia left off, and for fans of the first game, this is great. It means there's no contrived rehash of events or reintroduction of characters. The story just moves along. In fact, I'd like to see Syberia 1 and 2 bundled as a single, huge game, since that's really what they form.
The beginning of this game is actually a bit better than the beginning
OH MY GAWD!

This game is bad. I loved the first Tenchu game, and the PS2 version rocks. The entertainment factor here can best be described as standing on a packed bus on an 95 degree day, with no air-conditioning....someone crapped thier pants...you don't know who, the bus stinks, you just missed your stop, and the next stop is not for another 20 minutes....yeah it's that much fun! The game play is rough, the landscapes are not interesting, and it lacks all of the fine tuned quality of the first game. You are constantly fighting the camera angles.
almost perfect

Tenchu 2 is excellent in many ways. Like the original, the stealth portion is the main draw of the game. However, the enemy AI in Tenchu 2 improves on the original without resorting to cheap sightings by enemies (a problem in the original). The level design is well done, making the levels seem much more like whole environments instead of blocks layed down by a designer. In fact, just about everything is perfect in this game. Unfortunately, the one blemish is the level editor. This was the main reason I bought the game, as it has the potential to significantly raise the replay value. But, don't be fooled into thinking that this feature allows you to design a level like the ones you play in the game. You are very limited in what you can do. The maps are limited to 32X32 square sizes, which is much smaller than any level in the game. Elevation differances are limited to 4 different levels (not counting water), which means you can't make significantly different floors or high mountains. It still is fully possible to make fun levels, but this and other faults dissapoint the level-editing experience. Still, this is a fun game, and it should be experienced by every playstation owner.
