In this article from GamingUnwrapped, the author will be taking a look back at a stealth series that held prominence in the PS1 and PS2 days: Tenchu. The article explores why the series has gone through a steady decline and what directions could be taken to bring the series back in today's gaming market. This article is opinion-based.
Tenchu was a good series. It if you are going to try the original, hasn't aged well. I imported the JP version and still have it with the Ninja Scroll it came packed with :) I'm surprised we haven't seen a next gen version yet and maybe we never will.
It was an awesome game where you could go through the entire levels only killing the bosses. I remember the first time I used the grappling hook to escape to the roof tops and thought to myself, this is about to be one hell of an game.
I thought Tenchu 2 was the best, used to spend hours on the level editor and making my friends play my levels with about a 100 hidden traps in them lol.
What makes me respect Rikimaru is that even though he wasn't blessed withe the talent as Ayame and Tatsumaru is was his hard work that still made him rise to their level in skill and in some instances surpass it.
Rikimaru is as traditional as a classic shinobi can get.....
I loved them on the old playstations they were such fun titles. Trying to complete levels without being seen was awesome
Many games for the Wii often go ignored and don't get the praise that they deserve. Though it may not seem like it, plenty of titles on the console are worthwhile adventures with great plotlines, artistic graphics, and engaging gameplay.
Releases in 2 days and this is the first ad for it... great.
