I've played Tenchu 3, Tenchu Z, Stealth Assassins, and Fatal Shadows. Out of all of them, Fatal Shadows has the most interesting presentation for the story. Each stage is set up like a little TV show, with an intro, gameplay, and ending cinema, and a narrative preview of the next stage. It's this little touch that has helped me remain interested in the story (unlike Tenchu Darkness. I got sick of that after 3 stages). Each stages has a difficulty adjustment, so players of all various skill levels can enjoy the game.
Definitely worth it! Don't listen to everyone saying this one is bad, or worse that Wrath of Heaven. In fact, this one is definitely better than Wrath of Heaven! If you haven't played Tenchu before, it might will be difficult, but just play it for a bit and you'll get the hang of it. This Tenchu (Tenchu Fatal Shadows or [kurenai] in japan) is very similar to Tenchu Wrath of Heaven because the same developer (K2 LLC), however, this one is a bit different with how you will obtain new techniques. In Tenchu WoH you will easily obtain all the techniques as long as you kill a number of enemies in a map. However in the Tenchu FS it's different, you will get scroll books every time you stealth-kill enemies, from one to five, that changes depending on the difficulty when killing, if it's a fatal kill or not, or when the enemy is strong or not. After you have finished the level the scroll books will be counted and it's just like a milestone (or whatever it's called), e.g Tech 1 with 10 scroll books, Tech 2 with 20 Scroll books, etc. It made us have to repeat more quest to obtain the techniques, hence increasing play time. Even with that, this game is so fun! Because there are many, many improvement over WoH that's made the game better. Some of the improvement: improved enemies A.I, better graphics (FYI Ayame's totally hotter than in WoH), the enemy could stealth-kill-counter (rare) when you are hiding too close if you're gonna kill the enemy, interesting new char (Rin), the level is more challenging, and the rest just check 'em yourself! This one is far the best Tenchu game I've ever played. So I gave it a 5 (bravo!) because it's just soooo fun and cool.Read full review

If you've never played a TENCHU game before, start here. It is the best so far. I have been playing Tenchu since the first one was released. This is the first TENCHU game that SEGA developed and they did a surprisingly good job. They stayed true to the formula. You play as either Ayame or Rin (well you kinda play as both), one kills for honor and one for revenge. The gameplay in this installment is really excellent! You can now swin, hide underwater and jump out to make a swift kill. You can drag enemy bodies after you kill them to avoid detection al'a Metal Gear Solid. You can now lock onto an enemy and throw them during combat, which is a welcome addition. The camera is better behaved in this version than in previous ones, but still not perfect. The graphics are much enhanced but I feel still not up to par with games like say, Resident Evil 4 or Metal Gear Solid. The controls are good and well maintained, the learning curve is about a half hour for new players, 15 mins for seasoned players (due to the new moves). As a fan I give this game a 5/5. As an "regular" player I give this game a 4/5. Most "professional" reviews gave this game between a 6 and 8 out of ten. I suggest you get this game! You won't regret it.Read full review
Well. I've always been into the Tenchu games, I've played them since the first game (Tenchu - Stealth Assasins). This game is a off-history game were we hear about this new character Rin which has been away from her hometown for training and when she gets back everyone in the town is murdered and everything is burning, she swear revenge and then that is what the game is about. But we also follows Ayame which takes a part of Rin's history. The game is really good. The graphic is better than the other games, there is new special moves and the voice characters is better than in Tenchu 3 - The Wrath Of Heaven. You wont regret buying any of the Tenchu games!
