Game description: Gameplay is third-person combat. The player controls Yoshitsune or Benkei, and both characters are equipped with two basic attacks: Normal and Special. Yoshitsune is your archetypical fast and agile warrior, making up in speed what he lacks in strength. He is able to jump on small platforms (which, if jumped on by Benkei, would collapse). He wields two swords, and can also use his sword to 'hang' onto a ledge before jumping again, allowing him a double jump of sorts. Benkei is the more powerful but slower character, with greater range than Yoshitsune. He uses a large war club, which can also be used to destroy certain structures and heavy doors in the game.

Widescreen support
Widescreen support with .pnatch file from the PCSX2 forums. The pnatch for this game is not 100% perfect. You will see some glitches (blue colored void) at the edge of the levels. No gamebreaking issues here, as you can't go there. Not very noticeable if you pay attention to gameplay. :)
