ben 10 ultimate alien cosmic destruction

'What the hell kind of name is Ben for a pint sized super hero?' Incidentally, the final Godzilla style punch-up was a good chuckle as well. That being said, the levels are nice and varied, though the fact that you have to repeat one of them is a total drag to be honest, while most of the boss fights are also fun to do, even if they are far too easy for the most part. Being able to turn into the ultimate form of some of the Omnitrix creatures is also a blast, although it just devolves into mindlessly beating up wave after wave of enemies.

On the plus side, the game does stay fairly true to the series and plenty of familiar faces pop up along the way to help or hinder your progress. Even kids can remember that green smoke needs setting on fire surely? Apparently not, and the fact you are prompted every time something crops up kind of takes away any modicum of challenge or intrigue. However, everything is very obviously signposted and the game holds your hand even in the latter stages. The platforming aspect of the game is a little more fun though, as you can use the various abilities to solve simple puzzles and negotiate tricky areas. Even bosses don’t put up much of a fight, with most of them following a very simple pattern that can be easily overcome in a couple of minutes. While the enemies do vary from level to level, they are still amazingly familiar in terms of fighting style – some are melee attackers, others ranged and others require a perfect counter attack to remove their defensive abilities. Combat is pretty much button mashing fun, although you can also use a variety of special moves to dispatch your foes and speed things along. Each form has its own strengths and weaknesses, but you’ll pretty much end up using whichever one is chosen for you on a specific level. My, doesn’t this sound familiar?Īs far as kids games go though, Cosmic Destruction is rather innocuous, as you basically use the various forms in the Omnitrix in order to pummel the various enemies that cross your path. However, wouldn’t you just know it, the pieces have all ended up in the hands of various villains and Ben has to pummel them into submission in order to set things right. Luckily, as otherwise this would have been a very short game, there are pieces of an ancient artefact scattered all over Earth that, when combined, would allow Ben to fight off this incoming nemesis. Ben 10 and his horde of sidekicks are made aware of an approaching cosmic colossus, hell bent on taking over the planet. The short answer is pretty much “no,” as the game serves up more of the same in pretty much every department.

'Well, Ben, you're obviously not trying hard enough!'
