Ben 10 Protector of Earth Game For The Nintendo DS
For Ben 10 fans over 7 years old the Ben 10 Protector Of Earth Nintendo DS game is a good buy. As in the cartoons Ben has to save the Earth from the villains but he finds that some of his alien powers have been stolen from the Omnitrix. Playing as Ben, you have to recapture the lost pieces of the Omnitrix by battling the baddies that you meet. As you find each piece you will unlock the related alien heroes and will eventually be able to play as five of the popular characters being Four Arms, Cannonbolt, Heatblast, XLR8 and Wildvine. There are 14 different levels to get through as well as four challenge locations. A great feature of this Ben 10 game is the two player co-operative mode where two Bens can play together to battle the baddies. WiFi functionality also means that two players can play against each other in challenges. The DS microphone can also be used in mini-games.
So is it any good?
The resounding answer from pre teen Ben 10 fans is yes. It is primarily a platform game and the game play and graphics are better than average. It starts off being quite easy so you can get used to the controls and then it gets harder and more challenging. Some of the villains are quite tough to defeat. It is very focused on the Ben 10 theme and by tapping your stylus on the centre of the Omnitrix you can select the aliens you want Ben to transform into. The fact that you can only turn into 5 of the 10 aliens from the cartoon is probably the biggest downside. You can only be in alien form for a limited amount of time without recharging the Omnitrix so you need to choose your alien wisely with reference to their special ability before trying to defeat a baddie or accomplish a challenge. Even younger children will have lots of fun Ben 10 adventures and probably won’t need much, if any, help to get going as there are handy on screen hints for them.
You can also buy Ben 10 PS2, PSP and Wii games.
