Gamers will also experience tons of new story content.Gameplay is fast-paced, 3D and action-adventure based, offering an unlimited combo system with puzzles and challenges that will engage players of all levels for hours at a time.

Playable Characters
Ben Tennyson - Ben fills the role of leader after Max disappears. The Omnitrix has been recalibrated, giving him access to a new set of alien heroes. Over the past few years, Ben has matured dramatically. Gwen Tennyson - Now 15, Gwen is much more proficient with her powers, able to manipulate energy directly as opposed to using spells. Gwen is much calmer and grown up, nowhere near as fiery or sharp-tongued as she was five years ago. Kevin Levin - A former nemesis of Ben, 16-year-old Kevin reforms and joins the Tennysons on their quest to repay Magister for saving him from the Forever Knights. While not as psychotic as he once was, he still desires revenge for his time in the Null Void at first, though he puts it aside to help stop the Highbreed. His abilities now allow him to absorb the properties of any solid matter he touches. Humongousaur - Humongousaur is a Vaxasaurian, a humanoid dinosaur alien from the planet Terradino (a play on 'dino' from dinosaur). Standing at about twelve feet tall, Humongousaur has great strength and vast resistance to injury. He also has the power to increase his own body size and mass, growing up to sixty feet in height. His strength increases as he grows, and his dinosaur features become more pronounced. Spidermonkey - Spidermonkey is a Arachnichimp (a play on arachnid and chimpanzee) from the planet Aranhascimmia. As his name suggests, he is a six-limbed monkey-like alien. He has superhuman agility and, like a spider, can spin webs that he can swing from or create nets from his tail, and stick to walls. When Ben transforms into Spidermonkey, he talks in an excited, childish tone and displays mischievous characteristics with occasional monkey-like screeching. Jetray - Jetray is a Aerophibian (a play on 'aero' for air and amphibian) from the planet Aeropela. Jetray is a manta ray-like alien capable of flying and swimming faster than the speed of sound. He can fire neuroshock blasts from his eyes and tail, and the stingers on his head carry a powerful poison. Swampfire - Jetray is a Aerophibian (a play on 'aero' for air and amphibian) from the planet Aeropela. Jetray is a manta ray-like alien capable of flying and swimming faster than the speed of sound. He can fire neuroshock blasts from his eyes and tail, and the stingers on his head carry a powerful poison. Big Chill - Big Chill is a moth-like alien whose wings and antennae can "fold" up, giving him the appearance of a phantom; his appearance is reminiscent of the cryptid known as Mothman. He can become intangible and invisible, and can breathe freezing vapor. He can also freeze the objects he phases through at his discretion. Key Game Features: - Authentically Step Into The 'Alien Force' World - Play the only video game that allows you to command members of the 'Alien Force' team; investigate never-before-seen locations, enemies and characters, and explore favorite places from the best show episodes.
- Multiple Playable Characters with Special Superpowers - Take control of Ben and his new alien forms Swampfire, Jet Ray, Humungousaur, Spidermonkey and Big Chill to manipulate fire, swim underwater, grow more than 60 feet tall, stick to walls, fly at mach speed, plus lots more! Harness Gwen's talent to create an energy shield to protect and attack, and use Kevin Levin's ability to absorb materials to create impenetrable body armor.
- Solid and Robust Gameplay - Explore action-packed levels and secret sections in arcade-style gameplay as you clash with more than 20 types of enemies; use more than 75 attack options and create unlimited attack chaining with the streamlined combo system; engage in two-player co-op on the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system for hours of fun and replayability.
- Based On a Successful Television Franchise - As one of Cartoon Network's breakout original franchises, the Ben 10: Alien Force television series is in its first season as a top-rated show, and is the next generation continuation of the phenomenally successful and Emmy-winning Ben 10 original series. A long form television movie based on Ben 10: Alien Force will debut on Cartoon Network in fall 2008.
- Exceptional Level of Authenticity - The game's art style, sound effects and music are 100% authentic, with all audio in the game pulled directly from the show sound vaults and all voice acting provided by the original television cast.

This is a really fun game if you love the Ben 10 TV show.
You can play as Gwen or Kevin as well as Ben 10. You can play as the aliens on certain levels. There are 3 difficulty levels, Easy, Normal or Hero. Some of the aliens we have gotten to so far are Spidermonkey, Swampfire,and Big Chill. Jetray and Humungousaur are upcoming.
You fight against Forever Knights and the DNA aliens. You can play up to 2 players.
A fun and challenging game for both my 6 and 13 year-olds! |
Great Game!

| I purchased this game for my six year old ben10 fan with the wii system for Christmas. He loves it. It was a little challenging for him at first, but as he learned to maniplulate the controller it became easier for him. By the second day he was completing tasks that I wasn't able to! It is a fun game that we both enjoyed playing until we beat it. My son is still enjoying going back into the different levels of the game using all the aliens we got throughout the completion of the game. I would buy this again. |
Awesome!

| Very fun game! Lots of stuff to unlock! Only 5 aliens though. I thought there might be "10". |
Buggy beyond Belief

We are currently trying to work our way through the Wii version.
The entire family loves Ben 10 but hates this game.
After one frustrating session, my wife looked daggers at me and vehemently asked "What possessed you to buy this game"
My meek answer
Humungusour....
We are only just on level 3. Bugs encountered so for:
Bugs
1. On level one you are told to change into jet ray and then spider monkey.... Jet ray and spider monkey are not available until level 2, 3.
2. On level 3 in a tip you are told to turn into humungusaur. Humungusour is not available until level 4.
3. On level one you are supposed to break security cameras to get into a warehouse door. For us there was no door on the warehouse, trying to jump through the open door resulted in a long fall into a void then death. We had to replay all of level one to get the door back on the warehouse.
4. Clipping and camera issues that are just plain annoying. To be frank, this game often looks like bad shareware from the 90's
Maybe not bugs but plain annoying:
In section one, with two players, you often need to jump on a platform that is not in view on the screen. You figure out which way to go because that is the only way the game will let you fall off and die.
There is a section on level 2 where you need to ride steam or something up to get to a platform. The problem is if you have two people (for example you are playing with and helping your kid) you can not get the platform into camera view no matter what you do. After multiple flying up then falling to death we figured out that need to kill one ben 10, then with only one on the screen the camera view will change enough to let you get to the platform.
Again on level 2 there is a section where you need get past two towers to get to the boss at the end. You need to use spider monkey to shoot a web to an anchor point and pull your self up. Only the anchor point is not in the camera view and you can't tell where it is. Finally after many deaths and much googling we found the answer is to stand anywhere, hit the Z button and swing the nunchuck up. This is the only place in the level (and maybe the game) that you need to swing the nunchuck up.
Be aware that this is less a fighting game and more a, hop here hop there fall and die there start all over again game. This became apparent in the platform jumping in the first level (where the voice tells you to be jet ray but you can't). If you like hop hop hopping around then this game is for you.
Two player mode: When you play as two players you would think the game would in some way distinguish the second player. Maybe let you play as another character or at least change the color of Ben's shirt or the alien; in some way distinguish one character from the other. Unfortunately you get two carbon copy Ben 10's (or aliens) on the screen. This is very confusing for the kids as they can't figure out which Ben/Alien is theirs. Well OK it can also be confusing for the adults.
I'm tempted to play myself through level 3, get to the humugusour level for my kids, then after that game/stop this game.
Wii controls: The game makes almost no use of the wii motion sensing features. While there are wii remote options for the controlls there are also button substitutes that are quicker and easier for almost everything. To be blunt, this is not a wii game. It's a platformer you can play on the wii. It's annoying to have to use the nunchuck with this game and very annoying to have the jump button on the nunchuck instead of the B button.
I've read that the first ben ten game is much better. Maybe. Maybe. After we have had enough time to erase this horrible game from our memory we will give that one a try.

Doesn't anyone debug or test games any more?

| Reviewer: Dennis Morse, Chicago-ish |
I'd like to start off by saying that my 4 year old son is a huge Ben 10 fan and does enjoy the game and that is the only reason i won't be sending it back.
Game play is basically the same as in the first Ben 10 game, you unlock more aliens and moves as you progress through the story line. This game has a more 3d look that the first Ben 10 game that had more of a cartoon feel.
Pros:
-The ability to attack by moving and waving the wiimote and nunchuck is great for younger kids who won't be able to do the button combinations for all the moves.
-Actual voices from the show, lots of video scenes to watch
-Ben 10 fans (kids) probably won't notice the huge game play issues.
Cons:
-The biggest problem is that the game is just horribly buggy. Especially in 2 player mode. Camera tracking is bad, interaction between objects is poor (can fall through floors, float in the air on nothing, die and come back over open pits and just die in a loop) When my son and I play I will join in to get past some harder areas and with the bugs in game play you simply can't complete the game in 2 player mode all the way through.
-Compared to the first Ben 10 game, it seems like it is way too short and just ends in the middle of the story line.
-Level selection is just a text list and is missing the map feature of the first game.
Conclusion:
If you have to choose a Ben 10 game to play, Ben 10 Protector of the Earth is a better choice, or maybe wait until the new Ben 10 Alien Force Vilgax Attacks comes out the end of October 2009. |
Very fun game and intereactive.

| My 5 year old son loves it. Very good game. I enjoy playing the game with him as well. Graphics are good and good game play. Has not gotten bored. I recommend this game. |
Play side-by-side with your kid (early teamwork development)

This game is exactly like the previous Ben 10 game. The gameplay is shallow and the controls aren't top notch. BUT, this game lets you play co-op with your kid. That alone is worth the price.
This game isn't horrible, especially if you have a Ben 10 fan in you house, but it isn't one of the better action games on the Wii. There is a reason why this game is always on sale.
My son and I have a blast switching up the characters. He likes it when I freeze the bad guys with Big Chill and then he hits them with fire balls with Swamp Fire. It is great early development of teamwork skills.
Enjoy saving the universe with your kids. This type of gameplay is priceless. |
May the (Alien) Force Be With You.

Ben Tennyson's back and badder than ever in his new series "Ben 10 Alien Force". Now you can live out his adventures in the new "Ben 10 Alien Force" video game !
Join Ben, Gwen, and Kevin as they head out to new places - though some are familiar to the series' first season - and take down some new foes in vast 3-D areas with many levels and stunning (though mostly dark) graphics. You'll encounter new creatures great and small, but as Ben, you'll take them down no problem with 5 of your favorite alien heroes: Swampfire, Big Chill, Spidermonkey, Jetray, and Humoungousaur.
This game is somewhat familiar to that of the first Ben 10 game, "Ben 10: Protector of Earth", but you're now playing new alien characters, AND Gwen and Kevin, too ! (Especially with the 2-player co-op mode.) There's also some new attacks and combo moves that you've gotta be quick on to take down the bad guys. But beating up baddies isn't enough; there are some parts in the game that require skill needed to solve puzzles and challenges in some levels. Also, use each alien form wisely, and you'll find some new secret areas with items that unlock new bonus content like artwork, cutscenes, and a special video behind the game which makes it very authentic.
So if you're a fan of "Ben 10" and "Ben 10 Alien Force", this game is rather enjoyable. And look for more new episodes of "Alien Force" real soon on Cartoon Network as well as a new movie coming this Fall ! |
FUN

| My 8 year old son loves this game and can play it well. It is still fun for my 11 year old and not too easy even though he doesn't really like Ben 10. It came when it was supposed to in good shape. |

My son, his babysitter, and my husband have been glued to it. It is a bit hard for my 6 year old, but he is getting it and doing quite well. Graphics are a bit lacking, but overall....cool game. |
