Nothing original, but a good time. My 5-year-old adores it. Just the right amount of challenge with plenty of action.
User Rating: 7 | Ben 10: Protector of Earth WII
I suppose there's nothing too new in this game to get riled up about, but Ben 10 fans will have a fantastic time playing this title. It's challenging (but not too challenging), fast-paced, and very forgiving, so it doesn't get frustrating. There are plenty of groovy moves for Ben's alien forms to use on hapless opponents, and enough simple puzzles to break up the monotony of smashing up the endless hordes of foes. The dialogue has the same good-natured snappiness we expect from the show, and the artwork is great, both in-game and the cell-shaded 3D figures in the cut scenes. Bottom line: for the price (about $15 US) it's well worth it. My 5-year-old has a blast playing this, and I don't feel like gouging my eyes out when asked to play with him - on the contrary, I also find the game to be fun and exciting.
