Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven is the third installment in the popular Tenchu series of ninja stealth games created by Activision. Tenchu and Tenchu 2 appeared on the Playstation, and were stealth-action games rivaled only by the likes of Metal Gear Solid. Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven brings the series a few steps farther, with increased graphics, skills, items and weapons, and three playable characters over twenty-six unique in-game missions.

In Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven, you play as the bad-ass ninja Rikimaru or the cute-but-deadly Ayame. Beat the game with them both to open up a hidden character. The interesting part of the game is that you are playing through the same set of scenarios with both Rikimaru and Ayame, but from different points-of-view, and in an entirely different order. For instance, while Rikimaru has to get to Amagai Castle, climb up it and fight the evil doctor there, Ayame is captured by the evil doctor, and starts from the top of the castle, having to escape via the bottom. And she's timed to boot. It's nice touches like this that make the game worth-while in the most important way possible - playability.

So grab your shurikens and strap on your katana, my little ninja friends, for within this guide, you'll need to be as prepared as possible for an onslaught of information, including a detailed basics section, information on the weapons and items in the game, and full walkthroughs for both primary characters in the game.
