The only way is that of the blade. Well and that of the blow pipe and arrows and magic and grenades and mines and poison and shuriken stars and Get over here! Tenchu was one of the original stealth based ninja games and due to its popularity on PS1 they continued the party on to PS2. Not only that, they made a darn good job of it, high flying, crazy, sword slashing action all whilst being perfectly quiet. You choose your favourite assassin and go around pretty villages painting the paper walls red. Similar to Metal Gear Solid this game was a hell of a lot easier if you played stealthily, running around like a mad man was a sure-fire way to get yourself sliced and diced. Losing at this game was a mortal sin and required the player to bury a sword into their abdomen.
