Review
This was the sequel to one of my favorite PlayStation games. Obviously, it had some big shoes to fill, which it almost did.
It added the ability to drag corpses, which allowed for a bit more strategy to the gameplay. I had issues with stealth kills sometimes not triggering, even though I seemed to be in range. Many times I had to draw my sword and just chop the enemies instead...
The boss fights were also not as interesting as the first game, they lacked a bit of diversity.
I prefer the original Tenchu for its unique style, music, and mystique, and varied boss fights. However, this is definitely a worthy sequel.
