Emo-Iwata Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Tenchu:Shadow Assasins Platform: Wii - main characters are Rikimaru (the white-haired guy) and Ayame (the girl)- the story is set 1 year after the riots caused by the Witchcraft Lord "Tenrai". Some troubled activities still remain uncovered on the Gouda territory, and the forces behind these activities are starting to gain in power. In addition, another incident related to the abduction of the princess Kiku (Lord Gouda Matsunoshin's daughter) occurred in the meantime. In the end, it's up to the ninja Rikimaru, one of the most faithful Gouda servant, to investigate these incidents... - it's basically a "Stealth Ninja Action Game", so the best key words that could describe this game's mechanics are : "Sneaking" and "Assassinating". - the graphical production, the action, as well as every dramatic aspect have been considerably improved for this new entry. Could apparently be "the epitome of the series". - refreshed character design, and a new set of actors too. - the specificities of each character lie essentially in their many killing techniques, which are each emphasised with their own "assassination cutscene". - perform various classic spy moves, such as hiding in water, climbing on ceilings and sneaking on ceiling boards, hiding in dark corners, transporting and dissimulating bodies, hiding inside the baggage of itinerant caravans to sneak inside heavily guarded places,...and many other possibilities, including moves entirely new to the series. - Use your spy moves freely to hide yourself, collect informations, and strike when you find an opportunity ; these are, basically, the very foundations of the infiltration gameplay. - A series of screenshots shows a special move allowing you to throw an enemy's body directly into a water pond right after killing him, thus hiding the body. -"using various ninja tools (smoke bombs, shurikens,...) has always been one of the series strength, and this time is no different". In fact,it looks like this time around, the functionalities of these items will be based around the fact that you'll also be able to use these in combination with the Wiimote and nunchuk motion controls/pointer. We will apparently be able to learn more about about that in an upcoming issue. - seems like the official site "www.tenchu.net" will be updated on June 7th with infos on the game. I'm guessing many of these gameplay infos would be old to the series veteran (or to the people who know the series even a little bit), but I think the people who have no idea what these games are about (and there should be a bunch of them) should appreciate to learn more details about the game mechanics. img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v732/R9_SA/screenshot08.jpg[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackhammer06 Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Loved both the games on the original Playstation. Rikimaru f**king owns! Rikimaru= I tried all the stealth kills types...I remember there were 8 types of Stealth kills in all.....The hand to hand-combat followed by the neck snapping was the toughest stealth kill to perform.....

Emo-Iwata Posted February 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 IGN Rebiew great review,can't wait!!but that was a given since this was made by the original developers unlike recent tenchu games. 8.0 PresentationSlick interface, a cinematic storyline and lots of gameplay options. Level loads could definitely be shorter. 8.0 Graphics No 480p -- just widescreen, a disappointment. But everything looks good regardless. Well-designed character models and moody environments brought to life with impressive effects. 8.0 Sound Absolutely phenomenal soundtrack and good character acting, despite the fact that some warriors chat with jarring English accents. Only downer is that some in-game dialog repeats too much. 8.0 Gameplay Some dated controls -- digital movement, no Wii pointer for aiming -- but the game is still a lot of fun. Thrilling stealth sequences complemented by satisfyingly gruesome assassinations. 8.0 Lasting Appeal 10 main missions will take most 10-plus hours to complete and there are dozens of easier, quicker side missions to explore beyond that. You can also go back to the main levels and up your grades. 8.0 Impressive OVERALL (out of 10 / not an average) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emo-Iwata Posted April 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 just completed the first mission and it has been great ,the controls are a bit clumky but you get used to it fast atleast for me,the stealth kills are great and satisfying.PS1 tenchu fans should find lots of things to like about in this game,i haven't played the ps ones extensively but i'm liking what i'm seeing so far.

Emo-Iwata Posted April 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 the thing is the motion controls really does help in this game it doesn't overuse it but doing the stealth kills with it feels good and adds to the experience. look at the psp version for example,it's the same game with a bit of downgrade in graphics but having to use normal controls takes away from what makes this game go an extra mile,atleast that's what IGN said in their psp review.

Emo-Iwata Posted April 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 completed chapter 3 last night,so far i have only one complaint,the voice acting is very 70's kungfu movie kinda thing,for example the guards usually go hmmmmm?????where are you?????i'm not gonna hurt you!!!which is kinda amusing at first but they keep sayin the same thing over and over again,which after a while gets into your head.Still a good game though.

Emo-Iwata Posted April 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 finished the game just now,overall i'd say it's better than i expected,at times it tends to be a bit repetetive but it wasn't bad enough to put me off the game.Anybody who own both the wii and the psp,i highly recommend you get the Wii version,it's not that i have tried the psp version but i just can't see the controls translating that well for the psp.
