Couldn't have said it better myself bbb!

The time limit is an extra feature just to get a better score. You can beat the game as slow as you want but it will affect your score, luckily I've found if you do really good in the other to areas (kills and times spotted) you can still get grand master.

Which reminds me another difference from previous Tenchu games is getting a high score doesn't reward you with items. You now procure everything on site.

The only one I have trouble with is the stabbing motion, but I feel it is my own error, not the computer's misinterpretation.

I had a little trouble with this motion to but once you get the hang of it its not to bad and actually very satisfying stabbing an unsuspecting guard in the bushes.

A quick question, does anyone know if there are multiple endings, because the one I just saw was pretty intense. Won't spoil any details, but if you have beaten the game, I imagine you know what I mean.

I know exactly what you mean.

hey bbb u got the game too kool well i got the game and its awsooooooom:De its my first tenchu game and im kinda wacky with the time, but the games hotness makes me want to play the previous ones:_phantom:

Hey guys, I've been reading about Tenchu:SA on other forums and people have been saying it's really, really linear? Like there's only one set path through each mission and it's basically about figuring that path out rather than scouting and choosing your own route?

Some areas are very linear, but once you get further into the game the areas open up and allow more freedom.

I guess that's cool, if it's the direction they're going in, I trust Aquire. I just hope they make the maps more open for the sequels.

Do you feel you miss the grappling hook much, and rooftop running?

Yes the areas aren't as open ended as the older Tenchu's but I actually thought this one has more options on how to deal with each situations. In the older ones even though it was a big map there was usually a certain way to deal with each guard, where as now in almost every level there is a variety of ways to kill the enemies and/or proceed. The item use allows for you to deal with situations the way you choose. Although some are more effective than others.

Each level is very carefully thought out so that there are lots of different hiding spots and strategies if you are willing to look. As I said before for better or worse(I think for better) this is just a different type of game.

i have it too, and im in the ayame missions, i suspect that the maps have to do with the game dunno what exactly

Collecting all the map pieces in the game grants Rikimaru access to his legendary Izayoi sword, which is unbreakable. Ayame is given unbreakable swords as well.

i stoped playing due to ayame being the most IDIOTIC character EVER, she had a perfect way to climb onto a brenhc and she fell OFF its on the escort princess riku stage i was angry, and i dont want to see those guys anymore they are completley onto steroids, i tired to kill one from behind moving without making noise, and suddendly he discovered me WITHOUT turning back *sigh* fun game but the enemies are extremley badass to be looked up.
