    Horrifying game because of camera. Your view is very limited and would even struggle to look at the environment most of the time. This game contains no real camera lock option meaning you will look at useless background from time to time. The game does not allow you to change the bad inverted camera into the normal scheme, which is a disaster when you try to use item.

    There are a lot of stealth games with better camera in ps2, go play shinobido imashimi, metal gear:snake eater etc instead.    … Expand

    Few games can capture the sense of being in the hunt so well, and by degrees few games can disappoint so much when this sense is lost to wrangling with the camera or gawkish, unpredictable controls shackling your weightlessness. [Oct 2004, p.108]

    One thing that fans of the Tenchu series will enjoy is the enemies have increased AI. You can't just hide in a bunch of bushes and be "invisible" to enemies anymore. [JPN Import]
