BeefJack: Tenchu: Shadow Assassins Review

BeefJack writes: "Ninjas come in all kinds of different varieties in the world of video games, from the classic presidential kidnappers of Bad Dudes, to the crazed cyborgs of Metal Gear Solid and the acrobatic slice-and-dicers of Shinobi and Ninja Gaiden. Tenchu: Shadow Assassins, though, aims for the "original flavor" ninja, the feudal Japanese stealth assassins and, for the most part, nails it."

Positives

* Stealth is well executed
* Slow pace helps immersion
* Variety of solutions to problems

Negatives

* Limited options for combat
* Motion controls not utilized well
