Description: Games are all about living vicariously, either in a wonderland or an adventure land. Of course, one could never actually play out the role of a deadly, stealthy ninja in real life, but Tenchu 2 supplies an excellent simulation. Players assume the role of one of three assassins in over 29 levels. These ninjas can run, bounce around, and roll every which way. They're armed with a lethal array of items, from a simple grappling hook to poisonous rice balls, left for unsuspecting foes to munch on. Tenchu 2 is completely 3-D, and like most 3-D games, players will be fighting the camera at times, especially when combating enemies in close quarters. On the other hand, it's possible to take out any foe with a single strike--if that foe never sees his assassin coming. This makes sneaking around of the utmost importance, not to mention the utmost fun. --Robb Guido Pros: Players can kill directly or by stealth Features many weapons and moves Cons: Players have to fight the camera as much as the enemy Minimize
