Activision has announced that Tenchu: Return From Darkness is now available at retailers nationwide for the Xbox. Based on the best-selling Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven for the PlayStation 2, Tenchu: Return From Darkness brings the series to Xbox gamers with several new enhancements including Xbox Live gameplay featuring two-player cooperative stealth ninja action and online death match with 20 playable characters across six maps.

Rest assured, this isn't the same game that shipped for the PlayStation 2 as the game now features several new enhancements such as re-tuned enemy intelligence and placement, the ability to drag and hide dead bodies, and an interactive training mode. The game also includes restart and continue functions, new unlockable abilities such as wall camouflage and the Grand Master "viper drink," new bosses and two new single player maps -- a Samurai mansion and three-story pagoda.

So if you're looking for a change of pace from certain "other" ninja games on the market, head out to your local retailer and check out Tenchu: Return From Darkness.
