With your training nearly complete, you find yourself caught up in aiding your lord against a civil war in his own domain.
All is not what it seems, however, and you'll soon realize that your greatest threat has been forged much like you.
Much like its predecessor, Tenchu 2 is a 3D third person stealth action game.
You are not only rewarded for stealth, but also for efficiency of movement this time.
This extra feature increases the difficulty of achieving the better items, as you not only have to be quiet, but be direct and near perfect in your steps.
This time around, the stories of the two ninja (and the hidden third character) diverge greatly at places.
In addition, cutscenes using both the game engine and CGI give more story as you progress.
In addition to the story mode, there is a mission editor, which allows you to create maps and missions to both hone your skills and share.
About PlayStation
The original PlayStation (1994) brought CD-based gaming and 3D graphics to the mainstream, ending Nintendo's console dominance of the previous two generations. It's now firmly in "retro collecting" territory: original jewel cases with intact manuals command a real premium over disc-only copies, and several RPGs from its later years (when Sony deliberately courted the genre) are among the most expensive commonly-collected games from the era.
Gamevaro tracks Tenchu 2: Birth of the Stealth Assassins for PlayStation with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Tenchu 2: Birth of the Stealth Assassins to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS1 release dates back to 2000.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
