If you’ve never played a Tenchu game before, this is definitely not the one to start with.
I'm a little disappointed that Tenchu isn't pushing the genre forward like "Splinter Cell" and "Metal Gear Solid" have. [March 2005, p.132]

You don't need much change on a great formula i think.I really enjoyed this nice game, similarly as the other entries.A versatile game and looks great for it **** places are multifarious and the music as was always nice.

When the rose petals fly across the screen after such a bloody intro, you know Tenchu: Fatal Shadows will be an extreme, if somewhat flawed, mixture of beauty and death.
It might as well have been published by AT&T, because this is the most phoned-in sequel this side of a football game.
About the only thing Fatal Shadows does well is the rooftop sneaking, and that's nowhere near enough to carry the game on its own.
Fans will enjoy creeping around and using the wonderful grappling hook, but in a post Splinter Cell-era it is disappointing that light and darkness still have little bearing on the ninja's visibility to foes.
Continues on the path of cool ninja stealth action, but is thwarted by a plethora of traps like poor control and retarded AI.
Definitely worth it! Don't listen to everyone saying this one is bad, or worse that Wrath of Heaven. In fact, this one is definitely better than Wrath of Heaven! If you haven't played Tenchu before, it might will be difficult, but just play it for a bit and you'll get the hang of it.
This Tenchu (Tenchu Fatal Shadows or [kurenai] in japan) is very similar to Tenchu Wrath of Heaven because the same developer (K2 LLC), however, this one is a bit different with how you will obtain new techniques. In Tenchu WoH you will easily obtain all the techniques as long as you kill a number of enemies in a map. However in the Tenchu FS it's different, you will get scroll books every time you stealth-kill enemies, from one to five, that changes depending on the difficulty when killing, if it's a fatal kill or not, or when the enemy is strong or not. After you have finished the level the scroll books will be counted and it's just like a milestone (or whatever it's called), e.g Tech 1 with 10 scroll books, Tech 2 with 20 Scroll books, etc. It made us have to repeat more quest to obtain the techniques, hence increasing play time. Even with that, this game is so fun! Because there are many, many improvement over WoH that's made the game better.
Some of the improvement: improved enemies A.I, better graphics (FYI Ayame's totally hotter than in WoH), the enemy could stealth-kill-counter (rare) when you are hiding too close if you're gonna kill the enemy, interesting new char (Rin), the level is more challenging, and the rest just check 'em yourself!
This one is far the best Tenchu game I've ever played. So I gave it a 10 (bravo!) because it's just soooo fun and cool.

I always liked Tenchu, and played all of them with my friends (that were way better than me at these kind of games). Good old times.

As a whole is a good game in the Tenchu franchise, but with the same problems as its predecessors, either with respect to the camera and the very stupid AI of the enemies in it; Other points against it is the lack of the character Rikimaru, and the fact that during the whole main game plot, of all the cool characters in this game, only Ayame and Rin are playable!

Zero rating for not owning RICKMARU as he is one of the best things about TENCHU

Horrifying game because of camera. Your view is very limited and would even struggle to look at the environment most of the time. This game contains no real camera lock option meaning you will look at useless background from time to time. The game does not allow you to change the bad inverted camera into the normal scheme, which is a disaster when you try to use item.
There are a lot of stealth games with better camera in ps2, go play shinobido imashimi, metal gear:snake eater etc instead.
