Xiaolin Showdown at GC 2006

KimikoOmiClay

Karate Kid? Nah. Too 80s. Enter the Dragon? Too serious. Xiaolin Showdown? Just the right mix. You can be one of Master Fung’s dragon-in-training as you play Konami‘s game for the DS of the same title. Take on the characters of Omi, Raimundo Pedrosa, Kimiko Tohomiko or Clay Bailey as they fight against the evil that is Jack Spicer. Release date is sometime in November.

Craig Harris of IGN describes this game being developed by Razorback as a “Double Dragon style brawler done in an isometric ¾ view.” The demo has demonstrated some good and bad points. Characters were a bit slow in movement and collision detection was off, but, smashing, lifting and throwing objects at enemies or at switches are fine and comes a lot into the game’s early stages.

You can also treat yourselves to a variety of mini-games like “Wind Hockey” which is a touch screen version of air hockey, a “Breakout” challenge, a four player top-down challenge and bowling, that shows the most potential among the others mentioned. All these games will be unlockable in the main game as well as being fully playable outside of the battle. It supports the DS’ download play feature for a high kicking multiplayer showdown.
