Ben 10 turns villain in this extremely difficult game. 3/10.

FAR FAR too difficult even on Easy mode. The first thing game makers should take into account when producing games for children is the difficulty and ease of gameplay. Both far too hard. Stinks of cashing in on kids without any real thought.

What’s It About?

In celebration of a special alignment of planets, one of the alien races hosts a series of races across the galaxy. BEN 10 GALACTIC RACING brings familiar characters from the Ben 10 television series into a racing kart game with courses set on different planets, each with their own environment. Players can compete in a series of Grand Prix races and try for a trophy. Taking home the trophy also unlocks new tracks.

Is It Any Good?

BEN 10 Galactic Racing will have some appeal to fans of the franchise, although, with the focus on racing, there is little of what kids love about Ben 10 present in this game. Unfortunately, it also offers a frustrating user experience in terms of the difficulty level, poor controls, and lack of tutorial, that even the fun of racing on alien planets is lost. Think twice about this one.
