Ohhh... SO you (Iyam) are talking about gamplay exclusivly? ... Well in that case, yes, Tenchu 2 won't be that high ranked... But I prefer games with good story rather than good graphics, and sometimes over good gamplay.

When you have a good story, you get more INTO the character, and the gameplay seems better as you feel you are doing something epic. And at the end of the game you feel you've accomplished something. No matter if the graphics or gameplay are a bit odd.

That's why I prefer Tenchu 2 over all others... But if we talk about gamplay... My favorite would be Fatal Shadows (Haven't played Tenchu Z or later games)

I still think none has accomplished the boss fights of the original Tenchu though... You could fight Onikage through all the stage. Now you are a bit enclosed in the boss'es "arena"

And for next games, I would ask for a way different combat system, one where you really have to master the combat system, like... If you get hit twice you'll die (And so ANY enemy) that way you have to use two attack buttons (Hard and fast) a block button, a dodge buton, and a parry buton for counter attacks. So you can block fast attacks, but a hard attack will brake your defense. You can dodge hard attacks, but it would be harder to dodge a fast one. And you can parry any attack, but your timming must be almost perfect depending on the kind of attack your enemy use.

With that little scheme you can have really complex combats. And bosses wouldn't have to be the typical gigantic guy, but a normal one, like your character, only that the AI adapt to your techineque.
