Tenchu Z demo sneaks onto XBLM

by Dustin Burg { Jun 7th 2007 at 11:30AM }

From high atop his Xbox Live throne, Major Nelson has sent word that the single player Tenchu Z demo is now available for download off the XBLM. Yes, we've been quite critical of the game and what is has to offer on both the gameplay and graphics side of the coin, but we're thinking you should give the demo a chance. You know, that is if you are an avid supporter of the Ninjas camp. We don't recommend going anywhere near this demo if you've sided with the Pirates. So, download at your own risk and be sure to tell us what you thought.

Hope the demo is good, can't wait to get my stealth ninja on.

stay far away from this demo it's sad and has no reason to be played...be warned!! this is just a low res port of the ps2 game that i played 5 years ago!Can software make a good or even decent game? they make armored core too right and that won awards..for sucking ass!! japs need to just quit trying to make their own game engines they suck get with the program! this is a game that "had" potential, now just break out the nails and i'll get the shovel...

I'm a fan of all ninja related phenomenon but this sucks worse that shrek the third game AND POTC at worlds end put together

The game looks like a OLD PS2 game, the guards are very stupid, and the fighting mechanics don't work, this game isn't worth 60 bucks.

I had high hopes for this game, I was a huge fan of ninja gaiden but the demo just blows, plays very sluggish, enemies are same and graphics are very dated.

I don't wanna create a character for a ONE LEVEL DEMO!!! This was soooo bad! I remember spending hours and hours on the old Tenchu creating levels and switching off with my friends.....i miss that..... i've never felt so bad for ninjas

Sigh... It seems like they have finally killed Tenchu completely. This sucks.

TERRIBLE. I enjoyed the first tenchu too :(. This demo isn't worth the space it takes up on your HD.

I never thought a series of games could get potentially worst.

I guess opinions on this game are unanimous.

I was reading them just before posting my view that this demo has now the record for quickest deletion from my console: an astonishing 3 minutes of really bad gameplay value. Thanks, but no thanks.

How can you make a game about ninjas and somehow make the player feel like he's anything but?

Drdre74 @ Jun 8th 2007 8:56AM

looks like a PSP game to me. I played it for like 3 min last night and i couldnt go on anymore. Thsi game sucks. Graphics arent any better than the old ps2 games. Don't even bother with this one.

One word to describe Tenchu Z: worthless.

nes @ Jun 8th 2007 4:01PM

shits weakkkkk

Poor non-responsive controls. Low quality art for a next-gen game. Repetitive attacks and animations.

About the only thing they did right was the music and leaving the original Japanese language track in (with subtitles).
