    The new Tenchu installment will surprise positively series followers, apart from genre fans. It is a slow game in which we'll have to think twice each of our steps in order to survive. It has great hours of action and fun, and also offers a story worth being followed up to the end.

    Tenchu: Shadow Assassins redefines the series in a videogame more reflexive and less action paced than its predecessors. It's difficult, it's engaging and it's immersion, but the Wii version is better.

    All credit to FromSoftware for cramming Acquire’s Wii version onto the PSP, but the slowdown can be a real drag in intense situations, and sometimes the conversion just feels a little sloppy.

    Shadow Assassins could've been a great game had some things been changed or revamped. Instead, only the truly dedicated will see it through to the end, and even they may opt for the original PSOne game instead.
