If you're not familiar with Xiaolin Showdown , it's a cartoon on the WB which frankly is pretty entertaining. The story is based around an ancient group on Xiaolin warriors whose mission is to protect the Shen Gong Wu. The current warriors in training are four students who are learning the ancient fighting styles, each with unique abilities. There is a villain however. An evil boy genius is trying to steal the Shen Gong Wu and use its powers, but the Xiaolin students must protect it.
The story is interesting and there's plenty of character development take could be taken advantage of from the TV series, but for whatever reason very little of the charm from the TV series gets transferred to the game. It doesn't help that the gameplay is lacking serious polish.
Xiaolin Showdown is a basic action game with an extremely tedious structure where you simply attack enemy after enemy the same way over and over. Each of the four students do have unique abilities but there isn't much difference in how they are used. Other issues don't add any excitement either as you'll find yourself fighting the same types of enemies over and over. Unfortunately, the graphics aren't going to help fill any gameplay holes. It's not horrible, but it is bland with little diversity in attacks or enemies.
It is based off of the TV show with cel shaded graphics but it isn't going to help sell the game. There's not much to mention about the audio either, but it does use effects similar to the TV show as well.
The objective of each level is to defeat all of the enemies and to collect three scroll pieces. In Adventure Mode, you can play through the main story mode of the game. After a level is completed, it can be selected and played again at any time from the level select screen. A training mode is also available when the Sparring Room level is selected.
In the Sparring Room, Jack-Bots will appear when you step on either of the two buttons. In Showdown Mode, you can play any showdowns you have already played in Adventure Mode. While you can steal Shen Gong Wu from other players if you win the showdown in Showdown Mode, you will not win the Shen Gong Wu you would normally win if you completed the showdown in Adventure Mode.
When a new character is selected from the character select screen, you will have the opportunity to save data for that character after completing a level in Adventure Mode or Showdown Mode.
This will create a character profile. You can create up to 10 separate character profiles per memory card. The number of blessing coins you have, your rank and experience points, the Shen Gong Wu you have, and the three monks that you play levels and showdowns with are all apart of this character profile. Adventure mode completion and unlockable characters are not a part of a character profile and will be the same for all character profiles.
In each of the levels, Jack Spicer, Wuya, or Chase Young will command a number of enemies to come down and attack the Xiaolin Warriors. All of the enemies on the screen must be destroyed to move onto the next phase of the level. Each of the players have their own unique combos and signature moves but they all share the same sets of button combinations to perform those moves.
All characters have the ability to double jump, use one of three shen gong wu, shield, and pickup items. Omi's signature move is the "Tornado Strike, Water". When he does his signature move, a tornado of water surrounds him and he spins around like a top. Raimundo's signature move is the "Typhoon Boom, Wind". When he does his signature move, he creates a tornado, that is fired forward and passes through enemies. Kimiko's signature move is the "Judolette Flip, Fire". When she does her signature move, she moves in circles, unleashing small flames.
Clay's signature move is the "Seismic Kick, Earth". When he does his signature move, he hits the ground unleashing a shock wave that knocks down and causes damage to any nearby enemies. For his signature move, Jack Spicer falls on the ground and as he gets up, he uses the blades of his heli-bot to attack. Chase Young's signature move is the "Monkey Strike".
While he does his signature move he levitates and surrounds himself with blue fire. He then teleports himself to random areas of the level and transforms into his reptile form, firing a blue fire out of his mouth.
Each world consists of three levels and ends with a boss battle. Hone your skills, or try out a new Shen Gong Wu on jack bots. You can summon Jack-Bots by standing on one of the buttons on the floor. In the minigame, players are confined to a small two-dimensional area with cloud platforms and vases.
Blessing coins are hidden in vases and powerups appear in random locations. The goal is to collect as many powerups and blessing coins as you can before time runs out. In the final ten seconds, the Ying-Yang Yoyo will appear and powerups and blessing coins will appear at a much quicker rate.
If you do not make it back to the Ying-Yang Yoyo before time runs out, you will lose everything you have collected. If you do make it back to the Ying-Yang Yoyo, then you will have every powerup that you've collected when you return to the level. If you collected more than one of a powerup, then that powerup's activation time will be multiplied by the number you collected.
For example, if you collect five Cheetah Mojo items, then the Cheetah Mojo will be active for five times as long as normal when you're back in the main level. There are twelve Showdowns in total. If you win a showdown in Adventure mode, you win the Shen Gong Wu that triggered that showdown. Before the start of the showdown you are given the option to wager a Shen Gong Wu.
If you choose not to wager a Shen Gong Wu, then you only have a chance to win the Shen Gong Wu that activated the showdown. During levels in Adventure Mode and in showdowns, powerups will appear in random locations.
In later levels of the game, additional powerups will become available and powerups will appear more frequently. Xiaolin Blessing Coin - These coins are used to buy new shen gong wu from the xiaolin temple vault. Coins are dropped when a scroll piece is grabbed or whenever a player is knocked out. Scroll Piece - In each level, there are three scroll pieces to collect to finish the level. They are guarded by a shield that will deactivate when 6 jack bots are defeated.
Blue Chi Pellet - increases your blue chi meter. When it is filled enough, you can use one of your shen gong wu. As you play through the game, you will earn points after completing a showdown or level in Adventure Mode. These points will go towards increasing your rank. Each new rank comes with new belt color as well as new status effects.
Ranks and the experience points are tied to a specific character profile. At the end of each level or showdown, each player is given experience points based on what awards they received. There are 8 possible awards to get, though some may not be given out if they are not relevant. Getting an award will give that player a certain amount of experience points that go towards rank upgrades. It is never explained in the game or the game's manual exactly how to get these awards.
See: Xiaolin Showdown Videogame Script. Dojo has dropped a bunch of the Shen Gong Wu scrolls and they have broken into pieces. The Xiaolin Monks must travel to several different areas to recover all of the scroll pieces. Meanwhile, Jack Spicer and Chase Young are each trying to enact evil plans to rule the world. At the beginning of the game, the Xiaolin Monks are introduced to Jack Spicer, an evil boy genius who wants to rule the world.
He sends several variations of Jack-Bots to attack the Xiaolin Monks, but they are all destroyed. In a final battle in the temple vault, Jack Spicer is defeated and he retreats, swearing to return. The Xiaolin Monks then travel to a forest where Jack Spicer is working on a deforestation project.
He continues to send Jack-Bots to attack the Xiaolin Monks. Wuya, a year-old evil spirit and Jack Spicer's partner, also introduces herself to the Xiaolin Monks.
In Jack Spicer's lumber mill, he introduces them to a new type of robot called a Chameleon Bot. The Chameleon Bot has the power to transform into any of the four monks and use all of that monk's elemental powers and Shen Gong Wu. As the monks beat up the Chameleon Bot, it transforms into each of the four monks before finally being defeated. Next, the Xiaolin Monks travel to Jack Spicer's lair where he is working on a giant robot to take over the world. When the Xiaolin Monks reach the robot's chamber, they destroy it..
In a way that is not explained, Dojo eats all four of the monks. He explains that he is feeling really sick and wants the monks to figure out what the problem is. Dojo has also ingested a large number of Jack-Bots as well as a number of rock creatures. As the monks make their way through Dojo's body, they find out that Chase Young has infected Dojo with a deadly illness. When they make it to Dojo's stomach, they find out that Chase has opened a portal to the Ying-Yang World and released a bunch of Chi Creatures.
