Ben 10 Ultimate Alien Cosmic Destruction
SCORE: 71
The home console version
of Ben 10 Ultimate Alien Cosmic Destruction is a standard action
adventure platforming video game. There are various puzzles to solve,
and numerous enemies to dispatch. Collecting items allows the player to
upgrade the special attacks, and/or stats of the various alien forms. Oh
but things get really interesting when players get the Ultimate Form of
the aliens. They become mega powerful, and even larger. Which makes
taking out the enemies almost like swatting flies.
The character models and animations are very good in Ben 10 Ultimate
Alien Cosmic Destruction. This home console game took me all around the
world, and the variety of the background graphics is great. I did notice
a few nuances like ghosts coming out of coffins in one level. Ben 10
Ultimate Alien Cosmic Destruction includes a lot of super hero fighting.
Punch, kick, and use special powers on the various enemies.
The voice actors from the television show are used in Ben 10 Ultimate
Alien Cosmic Destruction. I love when companies do that. It helps fans
of the show, and it is more approachable for those who are not. Their
acting is awesome, and brought quite a few smiles to my face. There is a
bit of sarcastic humor that makes me believe parents need to adhere to
the ESRB rating age as a minimum.
I appreciate all of the extras in Ben 10 Ultimate Alien Cosmic
Destruction. Concept art, a behind the scenes movie, as well as
character upgrades are present in this game. The behind the scenes movie
is one of the best features in my opinion. The levels are long in Ben 10
Ultimate Alien Cosmic Destruction, and it will take most gamers a week
or two to defeat this game. Ben 10 Ultimate Alien Cosmic Destruction
includes so many alien forms that many will spend hours trying to decide
which they like better.
The formula to the game play of Ben 10 Ultimate Alien Cosmic Destruction
is a good one. There are puzzle elements that require thought, changing
forms, and more. Then there is some fighting areas. This goes back and
forth until the player finds a boss which includes both of these. Again
pretty standard for the genre. The Ultimate Forms bring something new to
the table. I was doing fine with Ben 10 Ultimate Alien Cosmic
Destruction until I reached the bad guys with shields. I ran into a
couple of glitches on them. Hitting them would cause them no damage. I
even got in close whacked away, and the game was not registering the
hits. I found one sure way of defeating them if I had enough juice
available. I would use NRG's laser blast. Of course using up all my blue
bar meant I could not use it again. This frustrated me, and slowed me
down.
Ben Tennyson is on a mission to save the world from an evil that wants
to destroy it. His attitude towards other characters, especially bad
guys is not very respectful. Of course the bounty hunters are being
greedy, and could care less what harm they cause. Being able to easily
change between forms does this franchise justice. I enjoyed the puzzle
elements in Ben 10 Ultimate Alien Cosmic Destruction, and love how they
break up the fighting sections. Ben 10 Ultimate Alien Cosmic Destruction
is a solid action adventure game for the older members of the family.
