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!

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.

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.

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! Lots of stuff to unlock! Only 5 aliens though. I thought there might be "10".

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.

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 !

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.

this is an awesome game and completely flawless. I did every level at least 5 times because of how fun it is. there are few combos unlike ben 10 protector of earth,but these combos are better than the ones in that game. all these aliens are awesome. graphics id give a B+. 5 bosses doesn't seem like much, but they are really hard. i highly recomend this. review by an 11 year old

If you played "Ben 10 Protector of the Earth", you do not need to play this. The first game is better. Alien force do not improve even a point.But it is good to your son or nethew.
