Description - ben 10 ultimate - Earth Protector

ben 10 ultimate - Earth Protector is the first video game to attempt an adaptation of this popular Cartoon Gameplay franchise, and it does a solid job. Which should be a sigh of relief for fans of the series, because this is one character that certainly must have been a challenge to faithfully translate.

Because Ben's double life isn't just a double. Or a triple, or quadruple. Ben's dealing instead with upwards of 20 different personalities and alternate alien forms in the cartoon show, and it's kind of a mess to try to keep track of them all. The titular numeral refers to his original set of 10 transformations, the Omnitrix on his arm, when activated, allowed him to assume the shape, abilities and psychological mentality of any of 10 different alien species. But as the series has progressed, he's gained more and more accessible alien forms to call upon, with new ones added with regular frequency.

You'll find five altogether, in addition to Ben's normal human form. There's Heatblast, a pyrotechnic alien with the power to control fire and float for a short time. There's Fourarms, the heavy-hitting barbarian who will be your best option in major brawls with bunches of baddies.

There's Cannonbolt, who looks like a yeti but rolls up like an armadillo, and Wildvine, the sentient plant monster who plays a bit like the Bionic Commando, and, finally, XLR8, the speedster who's by far the fastest and most mobile of them all. It's a good group, and does a nice job representing the diversity of Ben's abilities it's even up to date, as Cannonbolt and Wildvine are some of Ben's newer forms, while the other three were part of the original 10 set.

The game plays out as a side-scrolling action/platformer, with a brawling component introduced when enemies arrive on the scene. And it's an immediately satisfying balance the touch screen displays an ever-present graphic of Ben's

How to Play - ben 10 ultimate - Earth Protector

And the design is fleshed out a bit more beyond that with the inclusion of additional unlockable abilities for Ben you'll earn points for successfully completing stages and those points can be spent in a store of sorts to purchase enhancements for any of Ben's five alien transformations. You can upgrade their offensive or defensive capabilities, expand the amount of time the form stays active before the Omnitrix runs out of juice, and get completely new moves that can then be called upon with button combinations. Heatblast's A Button + Y Button flamethrower is especially hot.
