Tenchu is a series that has been around for years on consoles. After the first game was received fairly successfully on PS, it has been continued on several different platforms. Now, the team that worked on the original is returning with to the franchise, this time for the Nintendo Wii.
Games2C:
"The difficulty in engaging normal soldiers in swordplay is actually toned down a notch when reaching end of level boss characters. This is a very telling sign that the developers knew that the swordplay mechanic was invariably broken and subsequently made tweaks to the big boss characters or face a totally broken game. It's shoddy, and utterly spoils what could have been a great debut for the loveable sneaky ninja. Instead as we said in the beginning, it's a gruelling path that lies ahead for any would–be Wii assassins – patience isn't so much a virtue, rather a prerequisite."
VGC writes: "There hasn't been a bigger surprise this generation than the success of Nintendo's Wii, but while the Wii continues to sell in extraordinary quantities, it has been lacking in some genres. Tenchu: Shadow Assassins is looking to cover one of those gaps in the Wii's library with its unique approach to the stealth genre. As the fourth main title in the series, does Shadow Assassins set a shining example on Wii, or is it doomed to the mediocrity of the recent Tenchu spinoffs?"
From Software published 2 new Japanese TV commercials from Tenchu 4. Enjoy.
