    With a focus on trap deployment and confusing free-for-all multiplayer, this doesn't feel much like a Tenchu game at all.

    It’s easy to play and it’s challenging but with bland visuals, unimaginative design and a truly flawed multiplayer mode, the cons outweigh the pros.

    It grows repetitive far too fast, and a few uninspired multiplayer modes do little to extend the fun. [Holiday 2008, p.74]

    Those coming in clean to the series will wonder what the fuss is about, though -- and should probably wait for the next installment in the series instead.

    Trouble is, it all controls a little too crisply for our liking. [Issue#37, p.117]

    Tenchu: Shadow Assault feels disjointed and lacks focus. Neither dissimilar half works well alone and together they appear confused.

    An idea too small to sustain an entire game. [Jan 2009, p.104]
