![]() If that can’t convince you to give it a try … well, we can’t help it if you just don’t like fun.Īfter years of sub-par Tenchu games, the series' creators have returned and have, for the most part, got this stealthy classic back on track. Some GR staffers have even named it their favorite stealth title on PSP, arguably even better than the wonderful Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops. Shadow Assassin's flaws are easily forgiven though because the end package is just too great to hold a grudge. It's hard to be intimidated by a samurai when the most threatening thing he says is “I can hear you!” or our personal favorite, “I can't until this is over so I can polish my tea set.” ![]() The dialogue does little to make up for this. Shadow Assassins treats you to Americans either trying to sound Japanese, or not trying at all. The voice acting and dialogue are also heinous. Sneaking up into murder range or, if you prefer, avoiding an enemy altogether is a simple but still challenging affair of finding and exploiting shadows and cover that magically render you invisible to the eyes of your hapless foes.

Your foes are none too bright, but devious unit placement and clever patrol patterns make up for Forrest Gump IQs. Augmenting the value of the story mode are some fifty mini-missions dubbed “assignments” for you to play and conquer. Completed missions can be replayed, and bringing newly acquired items into an earlier level can often yield different ways to play it, but the game clearly favors particular strategies. Unlock 3 Extra Assignments: Obtain A rank per mission in Story mode. ![]() Unlock 2 Extra Assignments: Obtain B rank per misison in Story mode. You'll spend less time hacking and slashing and much more waiting and watching for gaps in enemy patrols and opportunities to strike. When you get the following rank per mission the corresponding bonus assignments will become available in Story mode. There are usually only one or two ways you can proceed through any given area, and the game often feels less like an action game more of a puzzle. Unlike other Tenchu titles, Shadow Assassins isn't very open ended. Tenchu: Stealth Assassins is an Action-Adventure, Combat, Stealth and Single-player video game developed by Acquire and published by Activision.
