Tenchu Z for the Xbox 360, while not as groundbreaking as the first Tenchu game for the Playstation, is still fun. The Good: Nice graphics, 50 levels, killing in stelth is always fun, Build your own character and partner, Great cutscene graphics, same gameplay as past tenchu games (good or bad depending on how you look at it). The Bad: All words spoken in japanese (with subtitles), some graphical glitches, gaurds follow same paths and thier A.I. is not on par with Metal Gear Solid games, not a great variety of weapons, story could use some work, You can run through every level and finish it quickly if you like, controls could use some work. The ugly: It gets very tiresome to have to do the same thing over and over. Same old formulae. The verdict: A good Tenchu game, just don't expect anything groudbreaking. I wish they had pushed this series a little harder to grow up on the next-gen consoles. Instead it just feels like the same old thing we saw in the 90's. A good game if your a Tenchu fan, but if not I'd skip it.Read full review
I've played all the tench games, and although the controls have changed, I still found it pretty enjoyable. Like any other tench game, it requires player to use stealth and silently kill their enemies. In this new version, however, it's a bit more realistic. You are forces to keep quiet and stay out of the light so enemies can't detect you. Although this game may make you spend quite a bit of time completing a level (due to the running and the hiding, strategizing(sp?) or you could Rambo all the way through), I still found it thoroughly enjoyable. It encourages you to think outside the box, and to act like a real ninja! :)
If you ever had a dream of being a ninja or just like stealthy games. this games for you.Set back in the days of honor and code. Your mission is simple get the job done and get out,while taking out as many of them as possible. The stealth kills are amazing the weapons are just another extention of the true power of the ninja. The mutiplayer on xbox live is so fun you and four of your online buddys can team up and defeat the evil tyranny that is coming to your village. There are 50 playable levels so your wont get through all the game in one day. Its a must have for any true gamer.
Every criteria for this game is superb. The only downside is that it isn't backwards compatible on the xbox one yet, so if you're interested in playing it on next-gen systems go to the xbox website and vote for it. Otherwise this game is a masterpiece and quite the experience that everyone should enjoy and try at least once.

This is one mother of a highly underrated game. If you like stealth games, then this is a co-op gem. Some of the character-equipment unlocks require you to do the single player missions, which can be a little annoying at times (Boss fights in stealth based games, really?) But all in all this game is amazingly fun and one of the best co-op games I have played in a long time.
