Tenchu 2: Birth of the Stealth Assassins

"A great gudie on now to become a ninja !"

This there a game out there that combines stealth,ninja style game play and three butt kicking ninjas?Man,tenchu2 is the game that comes out once in awhile.I love this game no doubt about it.

Gameplay

The gameplay is butt kicking!From breaking bones to slitting an enemy throat its all here!The game play seems to be different from the first game(tenchu 1)Instead of most of the level having town houses and staying there,Tenchu 2 takes place in the opening(shipwreck,forest,litte village meaning there are hardly any roof top to stay in.There are 3 charaters in total(one is unlockable)and 21 stealth kills in all.That is a lot!.The control is not smooth and acrrate as in the first game.But Tenchu fans will dig into the control right away,while other might take awhile.

Sound

Where did the music go?I bet you the majority of the fans would want the music back.I think they took away the music for that the gamerz could concentre more...maybe.The only time there is music are the encounter of the bosses.The sound affects are average.Sword clashing,enemy moaning and grumping a three foot sword is in their chest.

Graphic

The graphic had improve alot.The environment looks better.The texture don't repeat like in the first.The characters model looks great and hardly any problem with the graphic but the camera angle is knida bad while fighting bosses.When getting hit by the boss the camera angle change into a akward angle,which is annoying sometime.

Last Appealing

Did I mention the mission editer?You can costumized you own level in different settling lake,town,village,castle etc.
Place you enemy in different place and so on,I'll let you explore on you own.There is one unlockable character!
This game kick Butts!

Rent or Buy?

I have to say you rent this game.Everyone has diffrent taste,this game might be cool to other but some might not like it.Buy if you like action/adventure games and ninja style like-game play.

Buy for now!!!
