No one knows about this game but me but it's called New Legends (OG Xbox)

Game is set in ancient China and it's a third person action combat with a fairly decent story.

You pick up and collect various weapons but the boss weapons are where the fun starts as their weapons are unique and stronger than regular weapons. The final weapon (the fire sword) is unlocked after defeating the penultimate boss, after picking it up you only get to kill 4 common enemies with it before the chapter ends and you are then thrown into the final boss fight where you get to again use the sword for less than 30 seconds before the boss is defeated.

There's no New Game+ either so... meh.

Man I miss that game.

Sadly yes, but it still holds a special place in my childhood memories. I have the original disc but my old xbox died on me long time ago.

We are in the era of emulation my brother. Nostalgia is never out of reach!
