There are a few weaknesses with the collision detection, but on the whole "Tenchu 2" is gripping, sleek and cool.

A solid stealth ninja game that is a pleasure to play.

If you get into this one, it give you that same feeling you had from watching the cheesy 80's Ninja movies all over again, except for the embarrassing dubbing.

Even with noticeable problems, "Tenchu II" is a rich ninja experience worth its weight in gold.

It's still well worth your time (and it will cost you plenty of it), but expect it to provide you with no small degree of frustration along with its thrills.

It's a great game that makes you think before you act, a welcome change from all the fast action games of today.

"Tenchu 2" remains something of a letdown, since it's missing too many of the elements that made the original so great, and doesn't fix any of the problems that plagued its predecessor.

Core Magazine
Excellent presentation and a well-implemented concept make the frequent frustration bearable, but a healthy dose of persistence is required to get the most out of this unique title.

If the Statue of Liberty could be driven like a car, it would be much easier to handle and control than the characters in "Tenchu 2."

Gaming Age
A few of the niggling control and camera problems from the original game are still present, but if you were able to overlook them before, then you will absolutely love this sequel.

"Tenchu 2" is, when you get right down to it, a great game trying to escape from a mediocre shell.

Warning: Tenchu 2 requires a lot of patience and exploration, so if you’re looking for a mindless contest, maybe you should turn on a Presidential debate instead.

While its predecessor broke new ground in the stealth-action arena, "Tenchu 2" hasn't improved much over the original, and has even taken a step back in some areas.
