Tenchu Z (Xbox 360)

With an achievement score of close to 30000 (in the top 1.5%) on my Xbox 360 you may think me somewhat of a completeist. I imagine that you see me crouched in front of my games console grinding out repetitive tasks just to earn more points that in real life mean absolutely nothing. The fact is that I am worse than this. There is something noble about a youngster who can only afford a few games and plays them to utter completion - I do not. I buy games left, right and centre and play them for as long as it takes me to get bored. I then trade them in and get a new game. Therefore, rather than getting 1000Gs average per game I am more 250Gs leaving the other 750 ...  Read the complete review

I first played the Tenchu series on my old Playstation and really enjoyed the game, it was very different to any other game I'd played before and when I saw that a version was available on the Xbox 360 I snapped it up very cheaply.

Tenchu Z, a highly anticipated game, bringing stealth ninja action to next gen (now being current gen), but unfortunately this game went in the completely wrong direction, and making everything just seem so generic.

However, there are some good elements, albeit not really improving the game, but does show some good signs for future instalments. Tenchu Z offers a 'create a ninja' ...  Read the complete review

The first tenchu game out on Xbox 360! Will this game assasinate all? or be assisinated? *Overview* Tenchu Z is a typical third person stealth game where you play as a ninja and complete over 50 missions by completing tasks such as assisination, or retrieveing something from somewhere. *Gameplay* This game is very easy to start playing and is great for new players. However, i think that there are not enough fighting techniques and not enough variety. However, I do like the special stealth moves which adds the sparks in it. *Graphics* The graphics are too cartoony and not really up with the other games on ...  Read the complete review
