The moment you start the game, the moment you see the beginning movie(which is very excellent), you begin to think that Tenchu 2 is going to be something special. But as soon as you start the game, you instantly learn that the game suffers from horrible graphics, weird controls, and a camera that seems like it's trying to piss you off(that means that it sucks). Let me explain the graphics, the textures are jumpy, so jumpy that it's hard to see. Not only that, but the textures themselves are kinda crappy. And now for the weird controls, it's not so much that they suck, it's that you turn really slow, making it hard to fight(this is a problem during boss battles especially), if the game had a "3D Classic" movement(pressing left makes you move left instead of turning, etc), it would be much easier. Also, the camera doesn't make things any easier, it can get stuck in wierd places(this problem is biggest during boss battles). I also forgot to mention this: they AI of the enemy is horrid, the enemies you fight are as dumb as a chicken(maybe even dumber), they can lose you so easily(climbing to another surface, ducking under water, ect). Here's an example: I was fighting a boss and he fell down a five-foot cliff, he was looking for me and then he couldn't find me so he gave up(just like normal enemies), and then I jumped down and stealth-killed him. It was really stupid. Aside from all these issues, there are some highlights, like the stealth kill animations and variety, you can stealth kill an enemy in so many ways. Now, before you go off to play Tenchu 2, remember this: RENT IT FIRST BEFORE BUYING, you'll thank me later.

Tenchu 2: Birth of the stealth assassin - Circa 1999
GOOD:
- Easy and fun stealth gameplay
- nice/tight controls
- Custom mission mode, make your own missions
BAD:
- Really dated graphics
- Stealth gameplay can be overly simple
- Little replay value with not much to unlock
WILL IT FIT YOUR TASTE:
- The game is a prequel to Tenchu: Stealth assassin but plays the exact same way
- Ancient Japanese samurai and swords theme
- Ninja Stealth gameplay, more fun hack and slash then overly complex (think more Metal Gear then Splinter Cell)
- Three playable characters two male and one female
GAME ITS MOST ASSOCATED TOO:
- Tenchu: Stealth assassin
- Metal Gear Solid
- Siphon Filter
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
- Even though this is the second Tenchu game it's the first Tenchu game in terms of story
- The games custom mission mode comes with some built in custom missions from the Japanese version
awesome game!

Use to play it when I was just a kid, it was amazing then and still is one of my favorites. This game is a great game if you are a Tenchu fan. Its graphics aren't so great and the movement takes some getting used to, but it still is a fun game overall.
