The game begins five years after Ben puts away the DNA-scrambling Omnitrix, but now Grandpa Max has gone missing and the planet Earth is in grave danger.

Gamers must help Ben take the Omnitrix out of retirement and lead eight different playable characters-including cousin Gwen, enemy-turned-ally Kevin Levin and five of Ben’s brand new alien forms-Swampfire, Jet Ray, Humungousaur, Spidermonkey and Big Chill-to utilize their all-new super powers and defeat the intergalactic invaders. 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. Ben 10: Alien Force The Game comes on the heels of a tremendously successful inaugural game, BEN 10: Protector of Earth, which launched in November 2007 and has sold more than one million units worldwide, making this an adventure not to be missed. Playable CharactersBen 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:

User Ratings and Reviews
1 Star Boring, even for a 6 year old.
The music in this game will put you to sleep. The repetitive voice clips during battle are beyond annoying. The graphics are laughable. Even the 6 year old I purchased this for thought it looked horrible.
Playing with a second player is a complete joke. Rather than letting one character be Ben adn another be Gwen or Kevin, BOTH players are the same character. You can’t even change colors to tell the characters apart. That makes for some confusing fights!
Once your child completes all 8 levels (which they will do in one night), there is nothing to bring them back to the game. The game is boring, awkward, and highly repetitive.
If you have a big Ben 10 fan in your household, I suggest renting this game so you’re not out a lot of money on top of having a disappointed child.
5 Stars 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.
4 Stars 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.
4 Stars 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 !
4 Stars Cool Game! ROOARALLRRKK!
My six year old boy and eight year old girl love this game. It took them a while to get used to it but now they just dig right in and fight the aliens until their gone and go on to the next level. The grunts and grones are kind of violent sounding and I would rather see them playing nicer games but this is not blood and gore.
