They spend a lot of time advancing the story using cartoon cut-scenes but I had two issues with them. Vilgax, the evil alien nemesis of Ben 10 is invading the earth, and the only way to stop him is to travel back in time and stop Vilgax before h gets started. well, you and your cousin, sarcastic friend, grandfather, the time traveling professor who keeps appearing on queue and The Plumbers, whomever they are. The world is ending, and you're their last hope. The game puts the player in control of Ben Tennyson, the series star, and his morphing inducing wrist watch, The Omnitrix. Players already entrenched in the story of Ben 10 will have little trouble keeping up. From what I can tell the game sticks pretty well to the show, which has to be the point. Those on the other side of the fence will find a game with a spotty story, and a lot of time spent watching a cartoon rather than playing the game. This game is definitely geared towards fans of the series, and if that's you, I think you're in for a treat as the game puts you in control of the action. I spent the better part of this adventure scratching my head trying to find out who was who, and where I was going. It's important to know this going in, and it's also important to get some background on show as the game doesn't do a great job of filling in those blanks. Ben 10, for those not familiar, is an action cartoon that runs on The Cartoon Network where a boy finds a wrist device that is attached permanently to his wrist allowing him to transform into 10 different alien forms, and like all cartoons, he ends up saving the world doing it.
