This game is eccentric in the way it gives players a feeling of invulnerability and dominance, sneaking around is just too much fun. Not to mention, the multi-player activities are both heart-racing and team-based, which is a good thing for late night stalkings. The various items, clothing, and abilities add even more to an already great game. Graphics are good at best but what it lacks in imagery, Tenchu Z makes up strongly with gameplay and easy-to-learn controls. I bought mine without a manual and was killing bad guys like no tommorrow within minutes. Turn up the classical music and wreak havoc!
