	Tenchu 2 Review for PlayStation - Gaming Age
		The original Tenchu, while only a sleeper hit at best, was still one of the first stealth games out there, and is considered among the best.
		Tenchu 2, while labeled as a sequel, is really a prequel as far as the storyline is concerned.
		Tenchu 2 features a few new fatality-style assassination maneuvers (slitting throats, breaking necks, etc.), though in general, the result depends on your position in relation to the enemy, and the character you are using.

	Tenchu: Fatal Shadows First Look - PlayStation 2 News at GameSpot (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The game was known as Tenchu Kurenai when it was released in Japan earlier this year, and it marks a decidedly different spin on the Tenchu formula.
		While much of the gameplay in Tenchu: Fatal Shadows should be familiar to fans of the series, there have been a number of tweaks to it, which end up offering a unique experience.
		Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven not only lives up to its predecessors' own high standards, but also to the generally high standards of stealth action gaming.

	Tenchu Kurenai Review
		From software did publish Tenchu: Return to Darkness for the Xbox, but they are better known in Japan for their Armored Core mech series.
		The leap from Tenchu 2 on the PSX to Tenchu: Wraith of Heaven was huge leap in terms of graphics, gameplay and level size.
		Where the Playstation 2 Tenchu didn't shine was in the graphics department.

	Tenchu: Fatal Shadows Hands-On - PlayStation 2 News at GameSpot (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		In recent years, Activision's Tenchu series has graced both the PlayStation 2 and the Xbox, and while the visuals have obviously improved a great deal since Ayame and Rikimaru's first outing, it's a testament to the quality of the first Tenchu title that the gameplay remains largely unchanged to this day.
		The first time you play Tenchu: Fatal Shadows, you'll be encouraged to play through a brief tutorial, which, if you're a fan of the series, will serve as little more than a refresher course, since very little has changed since August 1998.
		As in previous Tenchu games, stealth kills are performed by pressing a single button when you manage to get close enough to an enemy who is oblivious to your presence.

	Tenchu: Return From Darkness Preview (Xbox)
		The latest iteration of Tenchu for the PS2, Wrath of Heaven, was a solid next-gen console title which acted as the ground work for Return from Darkness.
		For those living in a cave for the past five years or for our former Amish audience, Tenchu is a campaign based adventure title that forces players to rely on the stealth-like abilities of their ninja player character.
		Tenchu: Return From Darkness should prove to be a true test of a stealth gamer’s prowess once the enemy AI is tweaked for the final copy.

	Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven - daytrum - playstation game reviews
		An addicting game of stealth, Activision's Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven calls on gamers to step into the shadows and become a ninja.
		Set in the late 1570s, one year after the events of the original Tenchu game, Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven finds Rikimaru and Ayame on a quest to save feudal Japan from the clutches of an evil sorcerer and his six lords of darkness.
		As you would expect, Tenchu is extremely violent and not only lets the blood flow, but makes it spray and spurt.

	[No title]
		Tenchu is a game where stealth is a mightier weapon than your sword.
		Tenchu is played with a third person perspective, which means your character will face his back towards you while playing him/her.
		If Tenchu will go platinum, hopefully there will be a larger boost in interest in the game, comparable to it's release.

	Tenchu 2: Birth of the Stealth Assassins Review for PlayStation on GamePro.com
		Tenchu 2's swimming controls, new to the series, are simple but effective, and going underwater adds a new dimension to the game.
		The original Tenchu had some silly voice acting, but with this sequel the characters speak with much better emotion, and the sound effects (including the overt sound of your 'stealthy' footsteps) are good, but not great.
		Tenchu veterans will love the new additions, and the level editor greatly expands the replayability of the game.

	Tenchu: Return From Darkness Review (Xbox)
		Tenchu: Return from Darkness keeps true to its roots and quietly makes its debut on the Xbox, but stealth is what this game is all about.
		Tenchu: Return from Darkness is a solid stealth action/combat title that serves up a good blend of traditional ninja gameplay and strategy, but despite many of its obvious improvements over its predecessor the game still feels a bit less that what you’d expect of an Xbox game in both look and feel.
		Tenchu: Return from Darkness is built directly from last year’s PS2 title Wrath of Heaven, but despite the developer’s inclusion of many newly created features and improvements, the game does still feel a bit too much like a port.

	IGN: Tenchu DS Preview
		Asked why From decided to bring Tenchu to the DS platform, Taniguchi states that he is personally a great fan of Nintendo hardware.
		Tenchu DS makes use of the system's top screen for all the in-game action, with the bottom screen used to display items, a map and, when needed, a finishing move.
		Tenchu DS promises to bring in some changes to the series, outside of just the dual screen output and item combination system.

	Tenchu: Return from Darkness - ESCMag Review
		Tenchu: Return from Darkness is basically a port of Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven.
		One example is that players no longer have to start from the beginning of the mission when his or her character dies, which was a drag in the last installment, working the same level over and over again.
		The new levels are more state of the art, the characters are more polished, the motion-captured animations are smoother, and visual effects such as the lighting and weather representation are much cleaner this time around.

		When Activision renounced the rights to publish the Tenchu series in the Western World it was thought that would be the end of the Tenchu series.
		As with the previous Tenchu titles your main weapon against your enemies is the shadows aka stealth moves.
		Well unfortunately as with the previous Tenchu titles Stealth is actually very easy to pull off, basically one press of a button and you are in stealth mode.

	Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven - Reviews - Stratos Group
		Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven provides a graceful, yet cutthroat answer by letting you take control of highly skilled ninjas in feudal Japan.
		Tenchu 3 may not be quite as dynamic as some stealth games—-Splinter Cell and Thief in particular come to mind because of their emphasis on hiding in shadows-—but as you drop from the roof of a building to plunge your sword through a clueless sentry’s skull, you’ll find yourself thinking, “who needs shadows!”
		Tenchu 3 sports stellar animation for each character and enemy (lots of motion-capture I believe) as well as beautifully constructed environments.

	IGN: Tenchu 360 Update
		With Tenchu 360, you and your fellow ninjas (it's currently unclear how many players will be able to play together simultaneously) will exist in the same Online world and will have to work out a strategy to defeat enemies, building up your own ninja story in the process.
		Tenchu 360 will retain the same worldview of previous Tenchu titles, but that's where the connections end as far as story goes.
		Tenchu's next generation debut is still a ways off.

	Inside Hotwire 3D - Reviews: Xbox - Tenchu: Return from Darkness (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		To bring out some sort of sequel is only fitting, the people who worked behind the game have kept many of the traditional gameplay mechanics intact.
		The stealth action that introduced the arts of staying out of sight and moving in for a kill is one of the reasons the series has become so popular and wooed thousands of Tenchu fans.
		So if you are looking for a ninja title with joint venture, Tenchu: Return from Darkness is worth checking out.d it is confusing to navigate because of poor interface.

		While Tecmo's Ninja Gaiden more than likely over-shadowed any and all online ninja news, Tenchu: Return from Darkness is a reality and should hit the Xbox in the spring of 2004.
		At a glance, Return from Darkness appears to be identical to Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven for the PlayStation 2, but developer K2 is promising 2 new single player missions, new cutscenes and enemy placement throughout the story mode in addition to Xbox Live support.
		IGN will have much more on Tenchu: Return from Darkness in the coming weeks and months because ninjas online should not be taken lightly.

		In Tenchu 2, there are larger outdoor environments compared to the original, but this illustrates the weakness of the PSX hardware and the Tenchu 2 engine.
		I haven't playe Tenchu 2 for a long time but I see that I'm not the only one who has spoted the graphics decreas and lack of specific climate of the original game..
		Tenchu 2 had better overall controls than Tenchu 1, but first one is waaaay better game.

	GameSpy: Tenchu: Fatal Shadows Review
		While the games were never on the popularity level of Tony Hawk or Call of Duty, they were still great titles that deserved to have their heritage carry on.
		After playing through Tenchu: Fatal Shadows, published by Sega, I am inclined to believe Activision knew what it was doing.
		I know stealth is the main gameplay element of Tenchu -- and I love it for that -- but there needs to be a more efficient way to fight once you're discovered.
