Ben 10: Alien Force

"Great for fans"

Ben10 is about a ten-year-old kid called Ben. Who finds a mysterious alien device inside a pod that crashes from outer space. The device attaches to his wrist and gives him the ability to become any one ten alien heroes, each with their own unique powers and abilities. Ben10: alien force, takes place five years later. Ben has put the watch away to have a normal life. But when his granpa disappears, Ben is forced to turn to the Omnitrix once again to find his grandpa and stop the DNAliens and the Forever knights.

Gameplay 7/10: The gameplay in Ben10: alien force is about getting through the levels by using Ben's different alien forms to get through different sections. Like using Spidermonkey to climb up walls, Jetray to swim underwater, Humungosaur to break down large barriers, Big chill to ride on air currents and Swampfire to burn down obstacles. There are also many combat sections within the levels. And this can get a little repetitive. It seems that you can't walk ten meters without running in to a fight. There are also small sections in the levels where you get to play as Ben's old nemesis Kevin, and Ben's cousin Gwen. These sections are not as fun as the Ben sections. Kevin's sections in particular are a bit hard. All he can do is punch, he doesn't have any cool attacks like Ben's aliens do. Gwen's sections are just the same.

Sound 8/10: If you watch the show, you will recognize the tunes that play in the game. These pieces of music are quite good And the voice acting is top.

Graphics 8/10: The graphics look like the show. And they are quite slick too. The movies are good, but the game itself can sometimes get a bit hard to see where to go, since most of the game takes place at night.

Battles 7/10: The battles are entertaining despite there being a lot of them. You can choose which alien you are going to fight with, and they all have impressive attacks. Like Swampfire's "Ring of fire" move, which creates a ring of fire burning all enemies within the rings range. But the more you use these attacks, the more the Omnitrix timer will go down. When the timer runs out, you turn back into Ben, who only has a punch and kick. And the boss battles are hard too.

Overall: I recommend this game to fans of the show. It could have done with a few more levels, but overall this a game that fans of the show will eat up.
