More of the same
7 of 8 found this helpful Tenchu Z for the Xbox 360, while not as groundbreaking as the first Tenchu game for the Playstation, is still fun.
The Good: Nice graphics, 50 levels, killing in stelth is always fun, Build your own character and partner, Great cutscene graphics, same gameplay as past tenchu games (good or bad depending on how you look at it).
The Bad: All words spoken in japanese (with subtitles), some graphical glitches, gaurds follow same paths and thier A.I. is not on par with Metal Gear Solid games, not a great variety of weapons, story could use some work, You can run through every level and finish it quickly if you like, controls could use some work.
The ugly: It gets very tiresome to have to do the same thing over and over. Same old formulae.
The verdict: A good Tenchu game, just don't expect anything groudbreaking. I wish they had pushed this series a little harder to grow up on the next-gen consoles. Instead it just feels like the same old thing we saw in the 90's. A good game if your a Tenchu fan, but if not I'd skip it.

GREAT FUN!
2 of 2 found this helpful This is such a great game. The graphics, I think, are similar to Resident Evil. Which makes sense since they are both made by Capcom. The controls and gameplay are straightforward and easy to learn. This game is definitely the first of it's kind. The only reason I give it a 4 out of 5 is that the game objectives gets a little tedious over time and the story is a little hokey. Dante's (the main character) weapons and moves are very cool, like something out of a great movie. I really love the gameplay in this game, you'll see when you play it, it tough to describe but it's like nothing you've played before. If you've never played a DMC game, this is the best place to start, the games only get better as they come out! Trust me, you'll want to play them all!

Another great Resident Evil novel!
This is the second book in the series based on the popular video games series Resident Evil. The book is by S. D. Perry author of many Star Trek books.
This book picks up where the first left off and is based on the original Resident Evil game for the playstation. The books starts off with the STARS Alpha team going to look for their lost compatriots, the STARS Bravo team (who's paths highlighted in "Zero Hour"). As soon as they get out of the helicopter, they are attacked by dogs and must run for thier lives or be eaten. They stumble upon a large mansion and soon realize that this is no ordinary mansion... This book features excellent descriptions of the places and events as they occur in the game. Now in the game there are two different scenarios, I thought this was going to be a problem for the writer. Turns out, it wasn't. She deals with this beautifully and incorporates both Jill and Chris' storyline into the book. The book is gripping, and graphic...which are both true to the game.
A must read for any fan!
