Disclaimer: I never ended up beating the game but played far enough to want to share my thoughts on this game. This was another exciting "mature" release for the Wii at the time.
As a stealth game, Tenchu SA ends up being average since it's fairly linear and slow in nature with a rinse and repeat approach of slowly progressing through levels via cover and shadows and killing enemies along the way. Unfortunately, controls can be cumbersome at times and frustrating since you crave for precise controls and game performance in these types of games. Levels can be very challenging, especially if you are trying to achieve a high ranking but this challenge provides a satisfying feeling when completing a level. The graphics were very good for being a Wii game and art direction was appropriate for the time and setting of feudal Japan.
