1 Comments

Based on the Warner Bros. animated series of the same name, Xiaolin Showdown will put you in command of Omi, a kung-fu monk, as well as his three international warrior companions as they trot the globe protecting the Shen Gong Wu, a set of super-powered artifacts, from the forces of Evil Boy Genius Jack Spicer, his army of robots, and an ancient witch named Wuya.

With support for up to four players, you'll be able to combine the mystical powers of Omi and friends as you progress your way through environments rife with hazards, enemies, and collectible items, collecting those crazy Shen Gong Wu items along the way. Konami promises epic boss battles in arena-style settings as well as "showdowns," which will test your warriors' martial arts skills. Fans of the series should expect to see a faithful 3D rendering of the show's stylized visuals that will also incorporate certain 2D elements.

Xiaolin Showdown is set to hit the PS2, Xbox, PSP, and the DS this November.
