I read so many bad reviews particularly youtubers. I've been playing tenchu and Tekken religiously since I was kid. Most other games i thought were only fine. So I know tenchu inside and out. And I'm very happily surprised by this tenchu z. You move quicker than the others. Graphics are better. Some stages are actually pretty. The controls are by far the most difficult and complicated. Very hard going at the start. But tenchu has always been like that because there's alot of in-game moves you need to pull off quickly. It's part of the charm and fun because once you get em down then it's an ongoing challenge to be stealthy, plan and remember cool moves. Very happy with this game. Best stealth game Ive played. Relys on moves not location sequences like hitman etc. Will deliver more and more fun the more you play. Just violent and a bit nerve racking. But you'll get used to it.
