    While it isn't very original, it can be very enjoyable in short bursts. Unfortunately, the camera problems prevent it from being ideal for long-term play, and make extended play sessions very frustrating due to how needlessly hard it is to see what you're doing thanks to the poorly-placed camera.

    Xiaolin Showdown has the elements of a good game, but the execution is so sloppy and shallow that it ends up falling flat.
