The second Ben 10 console game (following up “Ben 10:Protector of Earth last October) will be available from D3Publisher this Fall with an all new adventure in “Ben 10: Alien Force the Game”!
The playable character lineup this time around includes Ben ( Swampfire, Humungousaur, Jetray, Big Chill, Spidermonkey) Gwen and Kevin. Echo Echo and Goop will be exclusive unlockable aliens for the DS version much like Upchuck from the previous game.
Full press release follows:
LOS ANGELES – May 1, 2008 – D3Publisher of America, Inc. (D3PA), a publisher and developer of interactive entertainment software, will bring Cartoon Network’s next generation series BEN 10: ALIEN FORCE to videogame systems with BEN 10: ALIEN FORCE The Game on the Wii home videogame system, PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system, Nintendo DS system and PSP (PlayStationPortable) system. The successful inaugural game for the brand, Ben 10: Protector of Earth, launched in October 2007 and has sold more than one million units worldwide. Based on the next generation television series launched on Cartoon Network last month, BEN 10: ALIEN FORCE The Game begins five years after Ben put away the DNA-scrambling Omnitrix, but now Grandpa Max has gone missing and the planet Earth is in grave danger. Gamers must help Ben take the Omnitrix out of retirement and lead eight different playable characters—including cousin Gwen, enemy-turned-ally Kevin Levin and five of Ben’s brand new alien forms—to utilize their all-new super powers and defeat the intergalactic invaders! BEN 10: ALIEN FORCE The Game is slated to ship to retail outlets across North America in fall 2008.
“BEN 10: ALIEN FORCE The Game is the only console videogame that allows players to take command of the ALIEN FORCE team to authentically control and experience their brand-new superpowers,” said Alison Quirion, vice president of marketing, D3PA. “Based on fans’ warm reception of Ben’s newest adventures and the impressive million-plus unit sales of the first Ben 10 videogame, we’re confident that our latest collaboration with Cartoon Network on BEN 10: ALIEN FORCE The Game will prove even more successful.”
“BEN 10: ALIEN FORCE set records as the most-watched original series premiere in Cartoon Network’s history, winning its timeslot when it debuted, and each week the series continues to grow as destination viewing for kids,” said Christina Miller, vice president of consumer products for Cartoon Network Enterprises. “The release of BEN 10: ALIEN FORCE The Game this fall will build upon the success of the first videogame by expanding fans’ experience with the brand and giving them a new battle to win with Ben.”
In BEN 10: ALIEN FORCE The Game, players work to find Grandpa Max and stop a diabolical Highbreed alien plot as they battle more than 20 types of enemies, including Highbreed invaders and DNAliens. Gamers take control of Ben and his new alien forms Swampfire, Jet Ray, Humungousaur, Spidermonkey and Big Chill to employ distinctly different and complex powers to manipulate fire, swim underwater, grow more than 60 feet tall, stick to walls, fly at mach speed, plus lots more! Gamers will also harness cousin Gwen’s new talent to create an energy shield and use it to protect and attack, as well as Kevin Levin’s ability to absorb materials like concrete, wood and metal to create an impenetrable shell on his body. BEN 10 ALIEN FORCE The Game is a fast-paced, 3D side-scrolling action adventure that offers eight playable characters, an unlimited combo system and puzzles and challenges that will engage players of all levels for hours at a time. The Nintendo DS version will offer alternate playable alien forms including Goop and Echo Echo, giving players additional unique powers to command and explore.
BEN 10: ALIEN FORCE The Game for Nintendo DS is under development by 1st Playable Productions, LLC. All other versions are under development by Monkey Bar Games. The game is currently rated “RP” (”Rating Pending”) by the ESRB.

The Complete Ben 10 Season 3 DVD is now available for purchase at a store near you!
“For a ten-year old kid, Ben Tennyson sure sees his share of action and adventure. And in Season 3, things get even wilder and weirder as Ben, Gwen and Max travel across the country and through time, to save the universe and each other from one evil menace after another. Ben’s cast of alien heroes also continues to grow as he uses the Omnitrix to unlock Upchuck and Benwolf and all their amazing powers”
Featuring Upchuck on the cover, this DVD includes all 13 original episodes from the third season on two discs! Unfortunately there is no poster this time, and it is replaced with a normal paper insert displaying episode titles and descriptions.Episodes:
- Disc 1 - Midnight Madness, Ben 10,000, A Change of Face, Merry Christmas, Benwolf, Game Over, Monster Weather, Super Alien Hero Buddy Adventures
- Disc 2- Under Wraps, The Unnaturals, The Return, Be Afraid of the Dark, The Visitor
Special features :
- A handful of short deleted scenes from “Merry Christmas” and “Game Over”
- Two of the very first promos (commercials) for Ben 10 that aired on CN in early 2006.
- A cool alien character gallery that showcases some neat concept art including designs for Benwolf, Upchuck, Ben 10,000, and some cool un-used concepts for Ben 10k’s aliens.
Doesn’t pack quite the punch as the first two DVD sets, but any Ben 10 fan who loves watching the show over and over (especially the one shot monster movie aliens) would have to be hoowwwling mad not to pick it up.
SRP $19.98
