Looking for a non-adventure game's title
 

Ok, this game was on the original Playstation. I remember that it was a hack and slash game and that your character had this black mask on his eyes. The first scene in the game is you falling down a pit. I remember that I couldn't beat it.. probably because I was young and inexperienced.. I'm guessing this game is less known because I have exhausted almost all possibilities on google and gamespot, so if you happen to know what game it is, let me know.
Thank you for your time.

Not really ringing a bell, any other details? Perspective, theme (asian, medieval, fantasy, etc), plot, etc?

Its fantasy 3rd person hack and slash. I can't remember the story.. except the part where you fall down a pit :P.

My uneducated guess: Akuji: The Heartless
