Tenchu has never really changed that much over the years. The evolution only lies in graphics and additional features.

The Editor feature from Tenchu 2 (I believe) is back and better than ever! This is a full powered mission editor which allows you to not only control the setting, character choices, weapons, as well as the plot, music, mood, and dialogue. Why would anyone want to play stages they created themselves? Look at it this way, if you are not creative or just plain lazy, there are plenty of other gamers in the world who will design and post their custom missions on the web for you. Some will be terrible (nontheless entertaining), other may be mindblowingly fantastic, perhaps even better than the officals stages. It is the possibilities that gives this option so much life and replayability.

The main game offers 5 characters' storylines in the usual style of Tenchu. You can unlock A LOT of other characters to play these stages or your custom stages later on, including some rather amusing characters you would never think of.

True to its name, Shinobi Taizen (Encyclopedia of Ninjas), this game has collected all the good things Tenchu has to offer and added so much more. The fact it is on PSP, made it even more impressive. Yes, I admit the camera is not very forgiving and the draw distance is short, but this has always been an issue with Tenchu, and those who love the game will look pass it as simply another challenge.
