Vooks writes: "Tenchu: Shadow Assassins is a competent stealth-action game that suffers from some awkward design and control choices. The storyline is intelligent, with some interesting characters that display varying levels of depth, but some of the voice acting is truly awful, almost ruining the authenticity. Technically the game is well made, but the controls can sometimes be very frustrating and almost counter-intuitive. The audio-visual presentation suits the game well and helps to raise the overall quality of the storytelling. While the story mode is quite short, there is plenty of extra content to explore, upping the replay value considerably."
