If you hit jump again at the wrong second, the double-jump will not activate and you will often fall to your death. Those forms with the ability to double-jump must do so with very specific timing. The platforming is generally fun, but a few problems hold it back. It's a bit cumbersome, especially when you're in the middle of a puzzle that's dependant on form-switching. What's unfortunate is that you can't simply switch to another alien on the fly You first have to press up again to switch back to Ben, at which point you can cycle to another form. Anyway, you cycle between forms with left and right on the D-pad, and then press up to transform. Ben, by the way, is absolutely useless on his own - he can't even crack open breakable jars and boxes. Let's assume you're starting out as Ben, which is normal.
Switching between aliens is a rather convoluted affair, however.
These are the most fun sections of the game, and the set pieces involved are often impressive and vast. The game is heavily leveraged on the shape-shifting mechanic, and many environmental puzzles require the use of many alien forms to progress. The game provides ample challenge and interesting concepts, but fails somewhat in execution.īen and his horde of shape-shifting alter-egos travel to many 3D platforming levels. In this Wii game, Ben traverses a host of planets in pursuit of the evil squid-faced Vilgax, who has taken over the Earth in the future.
Ben obtained an alien watch at the show's outset that lets him transform into an assortment of aliens, which is basically his superpower. However, I have never actually seen the successful Cartoon Network show, which stars Ben Tennyson and his friends, who save the world on a weekly basis. In my mind's eye, I see Link fighting Wildmutt in some dredged-up temple. I like the character design of many of them - they seem inspired by Wind Waker's simplistic outlines. Confession time: I have several Ben 10 action figures.
