  • Tenchu 3 > All.

  • Reasons why they also changed the gameplay is that they wanted the players to feel as if they are actually more into the stealth of a ninja, sometimes you don't even need a sword to kill someone, hell rikimaru can just snap their necks and kill them still. Ayame can just use her advantage of her own flexibility just to kill them. Im guessing they changed it so they can try to take the players more into the game. But really its mainly just about the storyline.

  • 0:16 LOL

  • I love the glitching samurai in the beginning. What a horrible trailer for a horrible game. All the of the others were great, but this one was crap.

  • @herpasivalitus I respectfully disagree, K2 was driving the series into the ground. Fatal Shadows being sub-par and Tenchu Z was the final nail in the coffin as it had no story, no Ayame, very little Rikimaru, overlycomplicated controls, glitch ridden amateur graphics, terrible and few boss fights, and annoyingly repetitive missions. (Notice: I don't count the DS and XBLA games, those are not video games... they are the Wrath of Hell).

  • @AlucardsQuest

    While its true Tenchu Z really had no story, I thought it was pretty fun compared to Tenchu 4. It had combat skills from earlier games, which made the game both entertaining and challenging to play. Its' controls also gave a lot more control over character and generally made the whole experience smoother. The only downside I'd say would be the missions. Though, I really would like to see a cross between Z and 4, Z's gameplay with 4's story but definitely not for the Wii.

  • @nugety I think the Wii is done anyway. Although I wouldn't mind seeing Tenchu for WiiU.

  • People and Wii gawd... =/

    Tenchu and wiii still good and the wii is pretty good.

    I think people who don't have the wii think wii is too much work "I don't feel like moving the remote." wii makes it harder and challenged...

    WTF WHY AM I HAVING A SPEECH ABOUT WII? XDD forget it..

  • I have mixed feelings about this game. Never played it, probably won't either. They've changed the character personalities a little too much maybe? You don't carry weapons? A very important character that's been in practically all of the Tenchu's has decided to use swords instead of kicks really irks me too.

  • I would suggest renting it, it's actually a pretty good game and it's gotten solid reviews mostly. However, complaints about the change in gameplay are legitimate. What I do like about the stealth kills is that they are context sensitive (rather than based solely on where you are when the enemy is near). Like if you're hanging from a rafter you can reach down and snap an enemies neck, or if you're in the water you can drown them.

  • Interesting point. I can't blame them for changing the gameplay but I also can't help but feel as if they lost part of their replay value in making it the way it is. The old Tenchu series could be played in a run and hack and slash manner, go undetected and kill everything, or go and not get seen at all and beat the level. I've always felt that fights are a very fun way to enjoy Tenchu and if it's absent it's just missing a big portion of the game for me ;p

  • finally this is the TRUE sequel! it definitely has a feel of the original tenchu games even w/ the music. this game is almost really a masterpiece if it only wasn't for the story mode that has only 10 missions. it's quite short compared to the other games. but everything else is so well-made like the music, graphics, plot and gameplay. it has multiple endings and tenchu fans should definitely check them out.. when I finished this game, I couldn't wait to see the next sequel.

  • short stroyline? dude have you even played the game? it takes at least 1 hour just to complete 1 mission, if you want to kill all the enemies, + it has sub missions which you can unlock things

  • you're talking about the gameplay dude. the main plot happened only within 2 days or so. unlike the first 2 tenchu games in the PS1 it was months or even years.

  • And I'm pretty sure there will be more sequels on the Wii, or at least that's the rumor. It would be nice to have it on 360 though... the series hasn't been well represented on that console.

  • I have this game, and in the opening, it shows Ayame and Rikimaru cross swords... do they kill eachother?!

  • wy all games for wii are sooo gay and horrible graphics i duno wy still buying that shit of console

  • Because Wii Fit makes Master Chief & Kratos look like pansies whom are in love with each other.

  • i would of rather have the true creators...ACTIVISION....come back....that would be the TRUE sequel.

  • Activision published the first 3 games in the US, but the only hand they had in giving the game life was hiring the American voice actors, (& promotion). The voice acting was something people cringed at, but under the circumstances I have heard much much worse. At least they had actors who delivered the dialog with conviction and a voice director who cared. And they actually had a few Japanese voice actors for a game set in feudal Japan, which to me is like... duh! No one else did that.

  • ah sorry, acquire and from software joined to create this awesome tenchu

    jaja sorry xD

  • I see, the acquire corporation owns tenchu again, I know that they will do a better work with the game, like tenchu 1 and 2

  • I personally think Tenchu 2 is a great game (story, gameplay, atmosphere) all around, but it seems to get a lot of flack for some reason. Maybe it was because of the lack of music.

    One of the main complaints so far on this one is that they haven't shown the grappling hook, but did such a tool exist in feudal Japan?

  • do u have 2 like tenchu to play this i like steath games doe

  • I don't think so. And this is the main point of choosing the Wii instead of 360 again or PS3, they've made the controls easier to understand to bring in more players. To balance it out they've added more variety & strategy to the stealth kills, so hopefully we Tenchu fans will find depth of gameplay as well.

  • lol after she stop kicking his balls his buts starting going up

  • I loved the first 2 tenchu, but I disliked where they went with wrath of heaven. Glad to that the masterminds behind tenchu are back again.

  • Is Princess Kiku gonna die!? Damn that's gonna twist Ayame. But how can you die from getting kicked in the balls!?

  • I don't know, but 6:07 doesn't look too good for her. And considering that Ayame and she have been close for 4 games (and for all intents & purposes are sisters) she has a reason to scream and just completely lose it.

  • As for the kick in the balls lol... maybe not every enemy gets killed in this game.

  • Beware of the Ninja Cat... The Ninja Cat knows all... The Ninja Cat sees all...

  • this new tenchu does not buy me i mean it looks wreck if ya understand also i dont like the new design for the actors

  • The main thing I'm not to keen about is that they might kill off Princess Kiku. It would make quite a dramatic effect on Ayame's state of mind, but it also might change her character dynamic too much so that she ends up dead herself... but that's all speculation. Purple is not her color, but I love real Tenchu games, not the crap being passed off as Tenchu that's on the DS and Live Arcade.

  • you mean they wil kill her off too! how stupid

  • It would be cool if Onikage shows up, lol.

  • While it was cool to see him in Tenchu 2, the fact that he can't really die does indeed make him annoying. I know how Rikimaru feels whenever I see him.

  • OMG its about time they made a new tenchu that relates to the story!

    i read some reviews that people didnt like tenchu z much and return from darkness was one the best.

    i have tenchu return from darkness on xbox and it was fun as! the graphics were pretty good too!

    i hope this one is good too but i only have a psp so i hope the graphics would be good XD

    I JUST CANT GET ENOUGH OF SLITTING THROATS FROM BEHIND AND SPILLING THE BLOOD!!

    i gota admit its pretty addicting ;)

  • "Professional" reviews bother me, some say that the first game was the best one, some say Wrath of Heaven (Return from Darkness) was best. Some of the games that they scored low I thought were damn good games! Oh well.

    Slitting throats has always been awesome, but in Tenchu 4 there are a lot more ways of taking out enemies, even without weapons!

  • nice

  • If Tenchu Z were with Main characters and continue of Story Line it would be the Best Tenchu in History. However, Gameplay in Tenchu Z is really something else! About Tenchu 4, it don't looks like even compare to Tenchu Z so far. Maybe it's poor Graphics of wii or trailer made me bad feeling about this game. Why did they choose WII so far ?

  • I just got Tenchu Z, and the first thing that I noticed was the graphics. The graphics looked really smooth, and I swear that was every reviewer's complaint. I think the game looks great.

    While this certainly doesn't look as good, (even in HD trailers which this is not) it can't look as good as a 360 game. I'm more concerned about the gameplay though, and that's what I've been focusing on in the videos I post. Why did they choose the Wii? I think to both reach a new audience & experiment.

  • You missed my point. I had in mind "TENCHU 4 and WII? That's Last thing i ever imagine or think about". It's not allways about the Graphics ;).

  • What I like about Acquire is that they focus on gameplay first and graphics last. Other games they've made like Way of the Samurai & Samurai Western play great, but have terrible graphics lol.

    Anyway I would complain about them choosing Wii, but the Wii really needs a good Mature game from a third party and it doesn't really have on yet (RE4 doesn't count). So between this Madworld and a few others, maybe the Wii has something to offer afterall?

  • i need this for psp as a christmas gift

    i think its this one anyway?

    any help for that, please? <3

  • The PSP Tenchu is probably as good as any of the PS2 games, but I've never played it. The reason for that is that it was never released outside of Japan. You'd have to import it if you want it. And although all handhelds are region free for video games, (meaning you don't have the mod the system or anything to play imports) I have no idea of any reliable source to import the PSP Tenchu game from.

  • R U SERIOUS?!

    so psp version is gonna be like ps2 graphics?

    thats gota be awesome

  • I would think so, in fact I would much rather have that game than the abhorrent DS game that we got instead. Worse yet, they remade the DS game for Xbox Live... someone should have gotten fired over that.

  • i love tenchu games anyways

  • The only ones I don't like are those top down views where you set traps instead of doing stealth kills. But the less said about those... etc.

  • the first tenchu for the playstation was great the music and action was great.

  • I think Tenchu 2 was good also, but I guess not many people like it. 3 aka Wrath of Heaven or Return from Darkness feels like a remake of the first game sometimes.

  • never played tenchu 2 or 3 just 1:(

    hey did you check out my video?

  • You might like them, (but maybe not Fatal Shadows) check them out and I'll check out your video when I get a chance.

  • NO 360??!!!

  • i kno, dude. 360 owners are stuck with Tenchu Z aka the TOTAL load of horse shit. and ps3 has basically Tenchu's 1-3 and fatal shadows

  • Except for the fact that the PS3 isn't backwards compatible anymore, and the 360 Live Arcade just got a downloadable variation of the horrible DS game.

  • Sorry.

  • Why the Wii,god such betrayal by sony..

  • Sony is doing a fine job screwing themselves, they don't need any help. Besides which 4 out the last 5 Tenchu games have been on systems other than Playstations.

  • Huh?This has nothing to do with Sony.I was just suggesting Z since you haven't played it before.

  • Z looks like the games I played on PS2. I will eventually get it, But I didn't understand your comment then I guess because you mentioned Sony.

  • Ok sorry I think I was confused to lol.

  • best game for the wii think its gnna beat tales of symphonia 2

  • I think so too, because you know what to expect from Tales, this new Tenchu 4 is trying a lot of new things.

  • hey you no what would be awsome is if they remade tenchu 1 or 2 with enhanced graphics and just remake the hole game and make it look cool and real like what they did with tomb raider anyversay but with tenchu that way they could bring back ayames sexy red outfit and they could bring back tasumaru and that would satisfie all of those fans who miss himm that would be cool who agrees reply

  • Yes.

  • holy shit its game is very god well done

  • It looks even better than this now.

  • it's definitly is coiming out on ps3, screw Tenchu Z, Xbox controls are not suited fot stealth games!

  • I wouldn't mind a PS3 version... if they bring back backwards compatibility!!! Damn you Sony!!! lol

  • agreed! I can never get pass a level without being seen in tenchu 3 with my big fat xbox control!

  • it's not the controlers, YOU SUCK!

    "the Xbox Controler is bad" is just an awful excuse.

  • Okay hold on. You have a point, but maybe he should try 3rd party controllers. I'm sure they have all kinds. I think that would be better advice for him.

  • Uh huh! I admit that I do suck so much... :) Its an obvious fact that guys are so much better then girls in games.

  • I don't own one, but the only complaint I've heard about the 360 controller is regarding the D-pad. But I heard that in Europe they've released a better controller.

  • I don´t like Ayame`s coustumes and Rikimaru`s hair and scarf or whatever it calls...either

  • thats whats wrong with u dumbasses now,your never satisfied .... well you know what... fags like u dont need to play the fuckin game....how about that homo

  • We´re not conformist, we want the best,the videogames are better because we want the best, but you, you conformist!

  • Okay, I'm butting in on this to keep insults out of this discussion.

    It's okay not to like every aspect of a game. Most of my favorite games have some flaws that I don't mind talking about, but just because a game was a part of my life for a time doesn't mean that criticisms about it should be taken personally.

    If he's really not going to buy the game because of costumes, then it's his loss because the gameplay is becoming way better that what's being shown here.

  • I want it and i need it!!! i want to kill like a kunoichi... like a Azuma kunoichi!

  • cool but ...i hope they make a tenchu game on ps3 that would be a whole awesome ..cause the first tenchu game was on ps1 then ps2 and now they must make atenchu game on ps3...with rikimaru.....

  • i hope so, maybe after of trylogy of tenchu series until 6th series on wii. probably they make tenchu 7 on playstation 3 or 4 or xbox 360 720 lol! yeah from know im just starting to enjoying this game..

  • It would give me the best reason to buy a PS3 than I've ever had, but the stealth kills in this game are awesome, I'm gonna post a video of those pretty soon.

  • Well, it really is a good game, i have had it since 06, and im still figuring little things out. I like the custom characters. I mean there is a LOT that i could suggest to them but, if your a tenchu fan, you would like tenchu z, im glad to see that tenchu is still rolling, but i hope they put another out for the 360. so much potential!

  • yeah its awesome...

  • The only thing I probably wouldn't like is not being able to play as Rikimaru nor Ayame, (and god I miss Tatsumaru).

  • Speaking of the 360, stay away from the Tenchu game on Xbox Live Arcade, pretend it doesn't exist! You have been warned.

  • why are they putting it on wii and the day before my birthday it 's just wrong i hope it comes to ps3 or im going to riot

  • That's the Japanese release date. We may not get it elsewhere until next year. Why the Wii? The Wii needs not just good games, but cool ones as well. Plus the 360 game bombed so I imagine that it's cheaper to make a Wii game. Even as well as the Castlevania series does, I don't think that it's team can afford to make a PS3 game (maybe because Konami's too busy with DDR remakes, YuGiOh and suing the creators of Rock Band and Guitar Hero).

  • i wouldnt say the 360 version bombed, i still play it till this day, its awesome, could be a lot better, but the game is great, so r all the other tenchus.

  • Sales of the game didn't meet anyone's expectations, even with a mild push from Microsoft themselves. The game itself has gained a following, but most people I hear from didn't like the game and as a result even more didn't buy the game because of it's poor reception. The only Tenchu game I didn't like was the DS game, the 360 game I never played.

  • the tenchu DS sucks!

  • Don't even speak it's name! Worse yet, they remade it for Xbox Live Arcade! Don't even download a demo of it, you'll be scarred for life!!!

  • And the 360 one is great you should really try it.U always get a bunch of Tenchu fanboys complaining about every little aspect of the game,but the truth is all of them have flaws.Tenchu Z is a better game overall though the English title of it is retarded lol.

  • Actually I stand corrected, they are making a Castlevania for PS3 & 360 (I posted a video of it)... so what do I know?! lol

  • Rikimaru looked pure evil in WOH, so did Ayame(..and yes she was made to look lame now)...let see if they transfer the WOH ideas over to the next PS3 release bu tin a newer improved form.

    Tenchu 1 and Tenchu 3, the best of the series, are indeed very playable on PS3.

    Try em' out!

  • They aren't evil, but I know what you mean. Ayame's breast size seems to fluctuate up and down between games haha. I've seen some new footage, and there are a lot of new ideas in this game. There's more to it now than the old stealth kills.

    Someone told me that the older games don't play with any sound. I have the Greatest Hits version so I don't know if that makes any difference. But right now I can't afford a PS3 nor a 360, so having this on the Wii is very convenient for me lol.

  • You know I'm having trouble finding a backwards compatible PS3, I honestly think that Sony is phasing them out. Even the newer 160g model coming this Fall will not play PS2 games at all, which irritates the hell out of me!

  • A. They need to fix Rikimaru's hair!

    Bring back his cooler looking long locks from Wrath of Heaven.

    B. Release it on PS3!

  • Wha-huh? Rikimaru has always had short white hair. And he's certainly never had long locks.

  • Rikimaru did have short hair yes, but it was longer and "cooler/rocked out anime" styled hair. Not this brilloy buzz cut.

    Compare WOH to tthe tenchu 4 and you can see it looks lame.

  • I see what you mean, to be honest I didn't notice. I was too busy disliking Ayame's shorter hair and uncharacteristically purple outfit. But I'm not going to write the game off for those reasons.

    As for the PS3... they're making Way of the Samurai 3 for PS3, so maybe afterwards. At least that way they'll know the hardware better. But I've heard that PS3 can't play the old Tenchu games very well, so I'm reluctant to upgrade personally.

  • So I'm guessing the woman Ayame was crying over is Princess Kiku? :'(

  • I've been avoiding talking about that clip because A: they shouldn't reveal stuff like that in trailers imo, and B: if it is true it would turn Ayame's world upside down because Kiku is/was everything to her. In this instance, I'm glad that I don't understand Japanese as well as I should. However, a lot of people have returned "from the dead" throughout the Tenchu series, so we'll see.

  • the new villain is busty !!

  • I noticed that too, it could be a cheap ploy to lure in... someone, but none of these videos throw her chest in your face. That said I think it's more of a psychological intimidation factor when playing the game than anything else.

  • nice trailer!!! maybe this can be a good gameplay for this year!!!

  • I have unusually high hopes, but we in the US may not get the game until next year. At least with Ubisoft publishing the game here we might have good English voice overs for a change lol.

  • what do you think after acquire making way of samurai, samurai western, shinobido, and kamiwaza (japan only), he put again to Wii exclusive, why he changed the console after in famous game on psx??? i really disagree to this point!!! but whatever i hope this can be moderns game for this console and this generation!! and many gamer loving this series!!!

  • My best guess is that since Fatal Shadows on PS2, (one unmentionable DS game) and Tenchu Z on 360 weren't very big sellers in the US, From Software wanted to do something different with the series and appeal to a new market. K2 was bought by Capcom, so From Software went to Acquire to re-invent the franchise. Wii is the logical choice for both reasons. It would have been nice to see Tenchu with PS3 graphics, but Acquire aren't graphical wizards, and the Wii is inexpensive to make games for.

  • Acquire making Way of Samurai 3 on Play Station 3....  i think Acquire was a good graphical for the next gen!!

  • I heard about that. Well then at best Acquire can use their knowledge from creating Way of the Samurai 3 towards a PS3 Tenchu. That is unless, perhaps Tenchu 4 is a hit... then I think there would be demand for Tenchu 5 on the Wii as well... or maybe the Wii 2 lol.

  • yes, and it's until 6th series

  • They've worked really hard the last gen, so I hope that I get to see everything they make in the US from now on. Of course PS3 has no regional lockout, but I'd rather buy it in my country rather than import. Now if PS3 would only fix it so you can play the older Tenchu games without errors...
