Ben 10: Alien Force

Almost everything about Alien Force seems great -- except for the
game controls. The story is cool and hip, as is the dialog. The artwork,
although slightly jaggy due to the Wii's lack of processing power, is top notch.
The voice acting is also top shelf: it never seems like actors aren't into their
roles. And the idea of shape-shifting into various aliens is a good one that's
full of thunder and fireworks when you transform.

But when it comes down to game mechanics, Alien Force is a mess. You
can't move the camera around at all. So when you want to judge distance in
jumping, say, to a platform in the water, it's really difficult. Even though
it's a 3-D game, you have no depth perception. So you end up dead in the water.
Also, when you try to run then jump, sometimes the controls only allow you to
run. If you're jumping over water or fire, you might be doomed if the controls
screw up. Even though the game's levels are short, this really could have been a
terrific buy … if they had taken a few more months to get the controls in line.
As it stands, this one's for true fans only.
