Here's a game I played through one of the kids in my neighbor hood growing up. I mostly played the mode you have to defeat a lot of enemies in one go. I actually missed out on the campaign. I always had a thing for swords. This was a more realistic weapon based fighting game. Either you or your opponent may strike a fatal blow with blood flying to win. This is a gem among fighting games on the system. Keep in mind, this was unusual for Squaresoft now Square Enix at the time. Considering they mostly releasing RPGs with some of the best ever made. This was one of a select few on the system to differ from that. You get an interesting roster of characters. Some amazingly done stages that stands the test of time. It's mind blowing Bushido Blade series never left the system after all these years.

MadWorld"MadWorld is a unique action game experience with two signature characteristics:
An eye-catching, monochromatic visual style that’s yet to be matched; and sense-shattering, bone-shredding violence.
Experience a unique blend of brutality, humor and madness in a graphic novel-style world that’s black and white and blood-red all over.
In sharp contrast to what you’ve come to expect on the Wii, MadWorld was available in American and European markets almost a full year before it was finally allowed in Japan."Action Horror Sandbox

God of War: Chains of OlympusKratos makes his inaugural appearance on a portable gaming platform in the third instalment of the God of War series. Chains of Olympus serves as a prequel, unfolding its narrative a decade before the events in the original God of War. While retaining the familiar gameplay dynamics of its predecessors, subtle modifications enhance the overall experience. Kratos embarks on a journey through various levels, engaging in relentless combat against foes and formidable bosses, deciphering puzzles based on manipulating boxes, and participating in quick-time events. Throughout his odyssey, he amasses red orbs to fortify his weapons and abilities, secures Gorgon eyeballs to augment his health, and acquires Phoenix feathers to amplify his magical prowess.
The game's controls underwent refinement to harmonize with the reduced button configuration of the PSP. Dodging, for instance, now necessitates the utilization of both shoulder buttons and the analogue stick. The iconic Blades of Chaos, synonymous with the God of War series, make a return, accompanied by an array of new weapons and magical spells such as the Sun Shield, Efreet spell, and Light of Dawn.
The narrative unfolds as the Gods dispatch Kratos to the city of Attica, charging him with the defence against an encroaching Persian army. However, as Morpheus unleashes chaos, Kratos finds himself compelled to harness his formidable powers to once again rescue the world from impending doom.Action Fantasy Historical
