Tenchu Z for the Xbox 360, while not as groundbreaking as the first Tenchu game for the Playstation, is still fun.
The Good: Nice graphics, 50 levels, killing in stelth is always fun, Build your own character and partner, Great cutscene graphics, same gameplay as past tenchu games (good or bad depending on how you look at it).
The Bad: All words spoken in japanese (with subtitles), some graphical glitches, gaurds follow same paths and thier A.I. is not on par with Metal Gear Solid games, not a great variety of weapons, story could use some work, You can run through every level and finish it quickly if you like, controls could use some work.
The ugly: It gets very tiresome to have to do the same thing over and over. Same old formulae.
The verdict: A good Tenchu game, just don't expect anything groudbreaking. I wish they had pushed this series a little harder to grow up on the next-gen consoles. Instead it just feels like the same old thing we saw in the 90's. A good game if your a Tenchu fan, but if not I'd skip it.
