That’s not to say that there isn’t some fun to be had here. Being a ninja is just plain cool, and the thrill of grappling from rooftop to rooftop, using a host of ninja items, and pulling off nicely animated stealth kills (of which there are a ton to unlock) will always be there. However, I’m a little disappointed that Tenchu isn’t pushing the genre forward like Splinter Cell and Metal Gear Solid have. Millions of years ago, the age of the ninja came to a close when a meteor hit the Earth, altering the planet’s climate. Unable to adapt to these changes, the ninjas gradually became extinct. No, wait…that was the dinosaurs. In any case, my point is that everything must evolve or eventually die off. Sadly, I’m afraid that the Tenchu franchise, which once helped define the stealth genre on the original PlayStation, has fallen desperately behind the times.Īlthough Tenchu is once again in the hands of a new publisher (Sega) and new developer (From Software), the end product adheres strictly to the well-worn formula developed by the series. Body-dragging is back from Tenchu 2, and after pulling out our old copy of that game I’d say you’d be hard-pressed to find any major differences between the basic moveset of Tenchu 2 and Fatal Shadows. Control your favorite characters as you use a variety of ninja weapons to defeat your enemies and complete your missions. Tenchu, the world-famous ninja action game, is now on Xbox LIVE Arcade. Tenchu: Fatal Shadows revives the classic Tehcnu stealth action with amazing new graphics, gameplay, and an intense new story. A deadly ninja named Ayame has traveled the land in search of her mentor when she stumbles upon a small village that has been sacrificed. The only survivor is another ninja girl named Rin, and together they will use her talents to find the reason for this horrible crime.
