This might not be quite what you had in mind, however Jedi Knight II has some good light saber action. The online multiplayer mode includes one-on-one light saber duels. Single player, not so much.

It's a little old, but the closest would be Bie By the Sword. It was tough to play but the gameplay and controls were a really interesting way of dealing with swordingfighting.

Typo attack!!! It's Die By the Sword, not Bie by the sword.

Die by the sword is good fun, but a bit buggy as I remember. More recently there is an indy game called Mount and Blade. Its in Alpha right now but I've found it quite entertaining even in this unfinished state.

Kengo wasn't bad.

If you like Bushido Blade, there's always PSX emulation.
