Video Game Reviews of Xiaolin Showdown
Customer Review: A lot of good, a little bad
Summary: 4 Stars
I haven't been gaming long and I'm an adult. My DS is my first system since an Atari!! I did play a Nintendo infrequently and now have a Wii. Anyway, this is one of my top games so far on my DS.
Pros
It is interesting and challenging. You have a characters to choose from with different skills. The main character seems to be the most suited for the challenges. I really enjoy the dance offs where you watch a cheerleader jump in four directions then you have to touch the screen in the same pattern or opposite pattern. Defeating foes is pretty simple but challenging when they gang up on you. There are clues to how to complete each situation. There are lots of beneficial items to find. You also get to call the other characters to help you with certain things.
Cons
The controls are strange. In the beginning you have a tutorial from a master. I had to give it to my husband to get over a part where you have to jump over alligator mouths. I kept drowning. It often seems like you have to push two buttons to go straight and one button makes the character move sideways. This is somewhat overcome by getting used to it. So far the stylus is only used to do the dance offs. This means that there are a lot of buttons to push to play this game. I am still unsure of how to use the second special weapon that you choose in the beginning. But with the 4-way movement button and the 4 buttons to fight and defend and throw, and the back button to do special things - I'm not sure I can keep track of much more!
Overall this is a good game. I definitely have games I regret purchasing and this is not one of them.
Description of Xiaolin Showdown
Xiaolin Showdown takes you an epic adventure, as you seek out and protect the Shen Gong Wu Omi. A Kung Fu monk leads three young dragons-in-training on their globetrotting adventures to search and protect the Shen Gong Wu, mystical power objects that gives its possessor super powers, from a band of villains led by Evil Boy Genius Jack Spicer, his army of robots and an ancient witch Wuya. They fight for the Shen Gong Wu one showdown at a time, where the universe transforms itself into a mystical, hyper-reality world. Our heroes have to rely on their superb martial arts skills, wits, and the mystical powers of the Shen Gong Wu to fight evil.Kids & Family Games
