Each of the changeable forms has its own set strength and weaknesses, and four special moves usable through a menu on the right trigger. And given the often complicated use of varied forms, a considerable more tuition for less experienced players would’ve been appreciated. Ben 10 Ultimate Alien: Cosmic Destruction does feature a tutorial of sorts, but in reality it’s a case of simplistic design preaching to the converted. You do need to understand some basic videogame conventions in order to play the game, even if your experience with the medium is limited to generic 3D Platform titles.
"Only the most dedicated of Ben 10 supporters will have the patience to sit through this mediocre action adventure..."
All in all, Cosmic Destruction is the definition of a budget brawler adventure game. I think what is most disappointing with that statement is that it didn’t have to end up that way. With some redesign and bit more polish around the edges, Cosmic Destruction could have been a much better experience all in all and a good tribute for fans of the series.

No major titles to talk about this week, but I bet a lot of people’s wallets are still recoiling from Dead Space 2 the other day, so at least you can rest safely in the knowledge that you’re unlikely to impulse buy anything new for a while. That is, until Marvel vs Capcom 3 gets released a week on Friday!
Uh... Test Drive Unlimited 2??
How the f**k can you forget about that game!? Lol, it's going to be awesome
Got it preordered at ShopTo.net, should get it one day early (10th) before uk release (11th) :D
