Ninja simulation on the 360!
Tenchu Senran puts you in the soft-soled tabi of a ninja in the employ of series\' mainstay, Rikimaru. You create your own hunky ninja or sexy kunoichi at the outset, modifying them with various articles of clothing as you go along, and learning new skills and powers as you improve. Missions from assassination to theft and item collection await, all across a strife-ridden province of Feudal Japan.
Graphically, the game may not be a Ninja Gaiden, but it does the job; it\'s not ugly at all, but it could have been a lot better. On the plus side, the game excels in the control and gameplay- it\'s not hard, but gives you adequate room to just lurk and slink around and kill enemy guards with impunity. After a bit, you\'ll be sneaking like a master, and it\'s bliss for ninja fans.
The tons of kanji will bewilder non-Japanese, but it\'s playable for those wanting to get this game right away while waiting for Tenchu Z, or are stuck with Japanese Xbox360s. Certainly a the best ninja game on the 360- even if it is the ONLY ninja game on the 360. Ninja fans, this is your title- the score is 5 for you, 4 for everyone else.
