    If you’re the kind of guy who likes to chop his prey into Sizzlean before he gets a whiff of your bad man musk, then the ninjas of Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven are right up your dojo.

    Perhaps the most puzzling thing of all is what happens when an enemy gets really, really confused. Most commonly you'll see them walk into a wall or some other barrier.

    The combat engine is solid, the new moves are great, and the stealth-reward system is an excellent, tried-and-true technique that works perfectly here.

    If nothing else, Wrath of Heaven succeeds where it absolutely must - executing stealth-kills as a ninja is simply exhilarating, and the animations rock. [Apr 2003, p.118]

    This game is definitely worth playing but don't expect to be blown away, after getting as far as the third level it's difficult to shake the feeling that it was only 80% finished on it's release. The looks and sound are good but not great, the AI is laughable (enemys repeatedly walking into walls etc) not to mention the frustaration of having to start each level again if you fall into a hole. But the controlls are passable and the stealth kills are fun, worth getting.… Expand
