Video Game Reviews of Tenchu Z
Customer Review: Almost perfect for this niche
Summary: 5 Stars
I've read a whole lot of negative for this game, no real plot, gameplay problems, etc. But I have to disagree. Sure, it's very easy to run to the outbuilding on some levels and find your target or item you're looking for. Sure you can select an easy diffeculty and complain about the bad battle system-
-but that's not at all what this game's about!
This game is about trying to be a perfect ninja, a silent, unseen, killing machine that wipes out the whole level of badguys without being detected. It's about the tension of stalking a man, and the thrill of bleeding him out and slipping into the darkness in time to see his buddy return from a quick patrol or a trip to the bathroom to see his friend's inverted torso. -all the while you're laughing, while they're freaking out looking for you. Don't try to fight through the enemy like you're Dante, the battle system sucks, but then again, the stealth system in DMC sucked, -see what I'm saying?
I think there isn't another game out there that captures the idea of being a ninja, the way you have to carefully stalk your enemy and take them out in the right order, at the right times, all while doing it flawlessly and sneaking away is often times challenging. This game is part action, and part strategy, sure you could race through each level and fight like a dumb grunt, and complain the fighting sucks, or you can be a little patient, study your enemy, and eliminate them like a trained ninja would. Playing the game in this way, the game is smooth, it's challenging, it's just plain fun.
The game has good graphics, great sound, and the levels are beautifully done, and everything about the controlls are really solid, but when you try "go Dante" on the enemy, it can be a daunting task for sure. Now, to be fair, I've seen guys on YouTube destroying the enemy 1 on 1, but I'm not as good as those guys. For me this game is a solid stealth-killing game, possibly the best. It's the best Tenchu by far anyway. I recommend this game whole-heartedly, it's too much fun to create an awesome looking Ninja and then being let loose on several levels with plenty of enemies to bleed out. Maybe I'm sick, but it never gets old, this one's going to stay in my collection.
Description of Tenchu Z
Tenchu Z returns you to ancient Japan as you master the secret arts of the Ninja. Take on 50 stealth ninja missions, as you build up your chosen character. You'll follow orders from Rikimaru, star of the previous Tenchu games, as you collect weapons and build Ninja skills. Patience and strategic thinking will pay off -- true Ninja mastery only comes with keen use of sound, sight and smell detection as you learn new moves and obtain new weapons. The new stealth kill system reward strategy and skill over the usual "run and gun" fighting. Also four-player cooperative play through Xbox Live.Adventure Games
