  1. This game, featuring tons of really cool moves, items to use while sneaking about, enemies with their own unique AI and beautiful eye candy, will be a must have for those wanting to be stealth assassins. The game also has some addictive gameplay with a story to entrap the players.
  2. Between the different level variations and the multiplayer features, Tenchu: Return From Darkness has good lasting value.
  3. The game is worth at least one run through, but after that the experience relies on inconsistent online gaming where the biggest challenge is finding someone to play with.

    This is a cool game, not better then gaiden but it is good. You see gaiden is fast movement, but Tenchu is how a real ninja suppose to be. Live by stealth, die by honor. Expand

    This game sucks so much, i hate how you can't play any of the other missions in the mutlitplayer mode before you finish the missions in story mode. and it seems that even on normal level that the enemies are virtually impossible to beat. i thought i was gonna be renting a bad ass game but was completely disappointed.
