Ben 10
By Gadget Reviews | October 11, 2008
Take on the role of Cartoon Network’s popular everyday-kid-turned-alien-hero, Ben Tennyson. At first glance, 10-year-old Ben looks like your average, everyday kid, but upon closer inspection it’s plain to see he’s the world’s youngest action hero stopping evildoers from Earth and space. Using the power of the Omnitrix which has embedded itself on Ben’s wrist, you will be able to battle as one of five popular alien heroes from the show. By taking on these amazing powers, you can battle to save the world through the game’s diverse challenges, puzzles and skirmishes. The evil Vilgax, with the help of Kevin 11 and the Forever Knights, has set in motion a plan to capture the Omnitrix and the world is in danger. Ben 10: Protector of Earth is an exciting game full of familiar characters on a quest to stop Vilgax and save the day.
User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars “Ben” There, Done That
Hey, look !
It’s the all new “Ben 10: Protector of Earth” video game I and some of you Ben fans have been waiting for !
Ben Tennyson and his adventures go to the next level when Ben’s Omnitrix gets busted up with all its alien powers within it. Now Ben is totally going cross-country with Gwen and Grandpa Max in order to get the watch fixed AND save the world from utter destruction.
That’s where you come in. Take control of Ben and his awesome alien heroes as you defeat the bad guys using some killer combo moves each alien possesses. I, however, am surprised the only available aliens this game has to offer are Four Arms, Heatblast, XLR8, Cannonbolt and Wildvine. Why not Diamondhead ? Or Wildmutt ? Ah, whatever; those creatures still have some great moves if you know how to work each combo.
With vast levels that capture some great American landmarks and incredible boss challenges against the likes of the Forever Knights, Kevin 11, and Vilgax, you’ll definitely be having a blast playing this game. And while you’re at it, look around each level for hidden “Sumo Slammer” cards. Collecting all three per level will earn you some great bonus features and such. Getting an “A” rank in each and every level will unlock some more bonus features such as concept art, enemy and hero viewers, and more.
Also, more than one player can play in either Battle or Two-player Co-op modes in this game. (In the Co-op mode, you and your teammate can unleash a special move together !)
So get set for the greatest road trip any 10-year-old kid would ever dream of… again ! (That is, if you’ve been watching the hit TV series.) And keep your eyes peeled for brand-new episodes of “Ben 10″, PLUS a brand-new animated series coming this spring: “Ben 10 Alien Force” !
4 Stars Play at the same time with your kids (two-player co-op)
There is already a lot said in the other reviews, so I thought I would solely focus on one of the great features of this game. The co-op mode. My son is 5, he still struggles with some of the battles in this game. But you can just fire up another controller and join the battle with your kid. We have a blast trying to smash more than the other. We each try different aliens to see who is better.
It is a lot of fun with some great bonding.
The game itself is OK, the the ability to play together is such a plus!!!
5 Stars Wonderful for young and old
Great game, I agree w/ all other reviews. Easy to figure out, and my kids are 5 and 10. It is great that 2 Ben’s can play at the same time as my 10yo helps my 5yo through the levels. They have since conquered this game, but continue to play it over and over. Now my 5yo can play it by himself, even conquering the big alien ‘mini-games’ or whatever they are. Love it love it. we also have only played on easy level, but i think time to bump it up a bit!
5 Stars WII Ben 10
I’m too old to appreciate this game. But I purchased it for my grandson’s 9th birthday, and it quickly drew the attention of his 7 year old brother and 11 year old sister. Appears to be plenty of action to make this a really fun game for all! So I would have to give it high marks. If you’re a little leary about purchasing it, you might try renting it first, which is what we did - they loved it!!
4 Stars Loads of fun for all ages, easy game to play too
This is a lot of fun to play, no matter your age.
It’s what I’d call “gamer lite”. It’s a gamer type game, but very easy to play.
My only gripe *SPOILER* is that you only get to play as 5 or 6 of the aliens.
One of my favorites, Upgrade, isn’t even in there.
*SPOILER* Even at the end of the game when Ben gets all the aliens back, we never even see them!
I hope they do a sequel to this, and include all the aliens.
