He collects 16 different alien forms throughout the adventure, each with a unique look and feel (and voice, oddly enough), but we found that only a few of them are truly effective in battle. Ben himself is weak, so he'll need to employ the use of his alien forms, some of which are more useful than others. Ben will enter an area, a pink border will prevent him from moving forward in the level, and a ton of enemies will spawn. Ben makes his way through the level, avoiding pitfalls and other hazards, while stopping every few moments for a contained fight with several different enemies these sequences grow old fast. Younger audiences who know the show may get more out of the story, but its primitive presentation will bore them.Įach level follows the same formula. From what we could gather, Ben is on a mission to stop the amphibian-like Incurseans from conquering Earth and must use his different alien forms to do so. The game makes no effort to catch players up on the story of the television series and assumes that everyone already knows the premise and characters, which makes the already paper-thin dialogue sequences at the beginning of levels incoherent to anyone who hasn't seen the show. Developer 1st Playable Productions has a few good ideas present, but the tedious level design, slow gameplay, bare bones presentation and incoherent story make Ben 10 Omniverse 2 a game only young fans of the series will be able to appreciate.īen 10 Omniverse 2 is a side-scrolling platformer/brawler starring Ben Tennyson, a wise-cracking teenager who, though slight in stature and strength, has the power to transform into different aliens that grant him special powers.
It's a shame, too, because the creative, action-packed world and characters of the series certainly would lend themselves well to a video game. The latest tie-in to the Ben 10 television series, Ben 10 Omniverse 2 is a serviceable title that falls prey to many of the issues that plague licensed games.
