In your struggle to overcome the darkest forces of the land, you are compelled to shed blood with discretion and move without detection. For only the unseen survive. Tenchu is a 3rd person ninja fighting game in which the player takes on the role of a ninja in missions requiring stealth, strategy and weapons skills. Employing unparalleled enemy artificial intelligence technology, feudal Japanese environments and a unique scoring system that regards a player's stealth and cunning, Tenchu sets a new benchmark in the action/adventure genre. Unparalleled enemy A.I. requires you to use stealth, strategy and espionage to defeat adversaries, rather than random violence. Take on fearsome samurai, black ninjas, shoguns, and demons. As a male or female ninja, grapple up walls, climb trees and run along rooftops, plus utilize motion-captured movements, like crawling, spinning and crouching. Perform long-distance attacks with a unique targeting system, featuring bombs, ninja knives and fire spells. Explore towns, temples, forests, caves, and dungeons featuring fully polygonal enemies and objects, plus evocative music, hi-res CG cinematics, a user controllable camera and two never-before seen missions.*** [31]*** [31]***European version [32]***Japanese version [32]***Japanese version [31]*** [27]***Explore ancient towns, temples, caves, and dungeons in the dark world of feudal Japan.

The first Tenchu title has very annoying camera angles. This was vastly improved in the PS2 version, so I suggest you go play that one. [cjlee001] | labelimagesubject |
