This game was awesome!!! relatively short and simple but it looked so good visually and jumping on enemies was so much fun!!! it's way too overlooked for how solid of an action game it is (*^_^*)

This is an extremely obscure game but it is an absolute hit. My father got it for me one day, randomly picking it out from a bargain bin at Circuit City. Little did I know I would play this game so much in my rotation of all my favorite PS2 games. The art style calls upon Japanese art from the period (mid-1700s to 1800s), when the story of Minamoto no Yoshitsune was becoming a part of pop culture with the adaptation to Kabuki plays. It's a great parallel to the art direction in Ghost of Tsushima where almost every landscape is a gorgeous painting or movie set piece. This game was a gift I never knew I wanted. Years later, I found out it was based on a fictional story of a real person and I was so excited to learn about the history of Japan. This is an awesome action-adventure game that ironically has some educational value. Love, love, lovveee this game.
