TENCHU 3!!! Give us Tenchu 3 info please!!!!!



The game was completely disappointing. Even though the game is handled by a different developer, EVERYTHING IS THE SAME!! The graphics are just short of embarrassing, almost to the point that it looks like a PS title running with PS2 enhancements. The gameplay is exactly the same. I felt like I was playing Tenchu 2... controls are identical, grappling hook works the exact same way, I wasn't spotted during the demo (though the boss killed me with a gun... drank my health potion earlier by accident with no damage >_<). You could only play Rikkimaru (sp? I forget honestly) in the demo.

The one interesting thing is that the more stealth kills you do, the more little kanji you rack up. When you have a certain number you'll learn a new technique. The first one I got was an elbow move by hitting attack, attack, down+attack. It propels the target about 50 feet forward or into a wall/building, looks quite cool but most enemies just block it.

Combat is really kind of awkward overall... sorry to have such a negative report, I was looking forward to the title too. :(

Well, if it plays and feels like the first Tenchu, I'm on it!
I hope they improve the graphics though...

Hopefully they'll fix it up a bit before it's released. It's one of the games I want. ^_^

Sorry to hear that. I enjoyed Tenchu despite its problems because of its potential and great Rouroni Kenshin-like soundtrack, but Tenchu 2 was headed in the wrong direction by adding stuff instead of improving what was there and REMOVING THE DAMN SOUNDTRACK. Now that Tenchu 3 is comfirmed to be more like Tenchu 2 I think I can safely ignore this one altogether now...

The graphics in the first Tenchu could, at best, be described as servicable and it had a number of useless features [if there ever was a point to the colored rice I never found it] but it was still one of my favorite games on the PSX. If Tenchu 3 is more of that I'll be happy in spite of it's problems, but if it's like the crippling clunkiness of Tenchu 2... well, maybe there will be some improvements made before it's released.

I liked Tenchu, but not Tenchu 2. So this one is like Tenchu 2? too bad then...

Still waiting for Shinobi...
