Tenchu is one of those games that is
good but has problems that can be over looked. Lets start with the good
stuff. This game is very fun. Being a ninja in a game has never been more
sweet than this. Unlike that stupid Ninja : Shadow of Darkness game. Sneaking
around slitting throats is strangely fun. And I love
those little "cut scenes" when you kill a
guy. Another good thing is the music ,probably because
the game is developed by Sony Music entertainment Japan.
And now for the bad stuff. The graphics
don't look so good ,they are really pixelated and have tons of screwy portions
on walls. another bad part is the horribly stupid voice acting! The voice
actors tend to slur the words together like a whole sentence is a giant
word. I think that Goo has the most screwed up voice. And the last bad
thing about this game is the control. Having to turn while running is crappy
because if you turn to sharp ,
your character will stop ,and then turn. That stinks
because when you're running up to a enemy ,you don't want to waste any
time. Who knows when the guy will turn around and spot you. There is one
thing that a lot of magazines said was wrong with this game and it was
the camera angles. I really have not had any problems with it at all.
Even though there is plenty wrong with
this game it still is pretty fun and I would recommend it to anyone who
likes the idea of "stealth".
