Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Games are all about living vicariously, either in a wonderland or an adventure land. Of course, one could never actually play out the role of a deadly, stealthy ninja in real life, but Tenchu 2 supplies an excellent simulation.

Players assume the role of one of three assassins in over 29 levels. These ninjas can run, bounce around, and roll every which way. They're armed with a lethal array of items, from a simple grappling hook to poisonous rice balls, left for unsuspecting foes to munch on.

Tenchu 2 is completely 3-D, and like most 3-D games, players will be fighting the camera at times, especially when combating enemies in close quarters. On the other hand, it's possible to take out any foe with a single strike--if that foe never sees his assassin coming. This makes sneaking around of the utmost importance, not to mention the utmost fun. --Robb Guido

Pros:

• Players can kill directly or by stealth
• Features many weapons and moves

Cons:

• Players have to fight the camera as much as the enemy

This review is from: Tenchu 2 (Video Game)

In Tenchu 2 you use many Ninja style weapons some that were in the original game, others that are new like flaming arrows. You use stealth to sneak up on your enemy and kill him/her without them knowing what hit them! The game is really bloody for some this might be great for others it might not be all that good. Tenchu 2 comes with a new feature the mission editor, in the mission editor you can create your own levels and place enemies within the levels! It's a great feature that makes an already great game even better. All together the game has 29 levels, 3 playable characters (the two Ninja characters that were in the original game and a new Ninja character),22 weapons, a mission editor, and many hours of fun. For those of you who like games that are based on stealth this is a game you can't pass up!

5.0 out of 5 stars A prequel to one of PlayStation's best adventure games., August 3, 2000

This review is from: Tenchu 2 (Video Game)

Tenchu 2:Birth of the Stealh Assassins is a kind of game which leaves you craving for more long after you have fineshed it. It is a game with a lot of depth and playability.

First off, this game is a prequel to the original Tenchu. It's story is about Rikimaru and Ayame - the two ninjas 'adopted' by the Lord Godha. There is also has a third ninja named Tatsumaru who fights alongside with the two of them. This explains the story of what happened to Tatsumaru, how all 3 ninjas protected their Lord from traitors and also how Rikimaru got his famous eye-scar.

It has around 25 levels (making it 15 more than the first game), with different levels for each of the 3 characters. However, if you're not happy with the levels in the game, you can create your own level. That's right, you can place walls, buildings, trees, bushes and other countless objects to perform your assassination in. You can even place guards and design what their pattern of walking will be. You can also make the mission peramiter, like assassination of a person, an escort to keep someone alive, elimate all guards, etc.

The game has improved gameplay-wise also. You can now swim in the water and even use a bamboo reed to breathe through it to remain unnoticed. You also have lots of new ninja gadjets to use, like a blowgun, invisibility and different kinds of shurikens. Yes, the game is still very bloody and realistic. But the game is not trying to be some kind of head-blowing, mindless slashing. You must still remain unseen by the guards and be very careful when you commit your 'cold blooded honor'. Overall, this is a definite buy for your PlayStation. I liked it very much and I suggest you give it a try.

This review is from: Tenchu 2 (Video Game)

I would've given this game a 4 star rating, but you can create your own missions! If you like stealth games like Metal Gear Solid, then this is for you. You can be two Ninjas....Rikimaru(boy) and Ayame (girl). Your goal is to keep away from the guards....and kill them without anyone noticing. You can use 22 Ninja Items, some magical (Vanishing Tree makes you disappear to another place in a flash of leaves), some not(Grappling Hook anyone?). Rikimaru is armed with a deadly Katana and Ayame two daggers. You can do front flips,and back flips, and you can creep along walls. You can crouch so the enemy doesn't see you, and you can breath underwater with the help of a bamboo pole. One of the best features of this game is the 1-hit Stealth kill. If you can manage to run up behind an enemy without them noticing, you can kill them silently. Overall a great game, but a little bloody.
