Plot
[edit]The story starts as Vilgax invades Earth with a gigantic Null Void projector.[2] To help save the Earth, Professor Paradox sends the trio Ben Tennyson, Gwen Tennyson, and Kevin Levin back in time in order to stop Vilgax from collecting a power source for his Null Void projector. With help from Grandpa Max and Ship, Ben and company travel throughout the galaxy to foil Vilgax's evil plan before it can come to fruition.
Gameplay
[edit]The game is based on the Cartoon Network series of the same name, which has as its main character Ben Tennyson, a young man who, during his summer vacation, finds an alien device called the Omnitrix. This special watch allows Ben to transform into a variety of aliens, each with unique abilities and powers.[3]
Gameplay consists of action and puzzle-solving that revolves around the skills of alien forms. Ben can perform various combinations and special attacks using different aliens. By defeating enemies and collecting glowing energy spheres, Ben can acquire new abilities.
