While ninja games are a dime a dozen, the Tenchu series has long stood out from other games featuring the iconic sword-swinging, mask and pajama-wearing, star-throwing types by highlighting what they are best known for - stealth. Along with Metal Gear Solid and Thief: The Dark Project, the original Tenchu on the Playstation helped to kick-start the idea of stealth as a genre and central game concept, something that has attracted many imitators (for better or worse). It is fitting then that the return of the game's original creators, Acquire, marks a return to an emphasis of stealth.
