Description:

Ring in the spring with new alien-fighting action as Cartoon Network Enterprises and Warner Home Video release Ben 10 Alien Force Volume 6 to DVD on March 30th.  In this latest release, Ben Tennyson is up to some serious monkey business that results into an intergalactic war.  Along with containing the final four episodes from the series’ second season, the DVD also includes an Alien Database bonus feature.

Watching It:

We received a copy of this DVD last week to review. Of course the kids are familiar with two of the aliens that Ben changes into. They love as we like to call them PM and Red Fred. (Chromastone and Jet Ray). The kids play with the action figures and Zoe says that PM keeps her closet safe from Monsters.

Volume six contains the series two part finally of the final battle. Not having seen very much of the series I didn’t feel lost, the two episodes that built up to it showed me enough to know what was going on. I was worried that it was too scary for the kids to be watching but it was cartoonish enough that they never complained about being scared.

I don’t follow it much, but it looks like they could start a new Ben 10 with a different set of 10 aliens.

D3 Publiser was kind enough to send me one copy of Ben 10 Alien Force Vilgax Attacks to donate, to keep (my husband’s Christmas present), and one to giveaway to a lucky reader. I must apologize because I did request the copy for my husband and that was not very nice of me. I mean, this was our favorite game out of the ones that we were able to preview. The graphics were the highest on the Xbox 360 and my husband is addicted to getting gamer points. Ok, not addicted but if he finds a game he enjoys then he has to get 100 percent completion in the on-line points. So, thank you D3 Publisher and Papaya for the copy of the game on the XBox 360.

Thoughts on the game so far

I was watching my husband play his Xbox 360 version of Ben 10 and he said it is perfect for the target audience. I was thinking what does that mean, he said, it’s for children ages 10 and up. As you play Ben’s uncle provides you with tips to tell you which monster to use to help you along and you have to constantly switch monsters to complete the game. Papaya designed this game with Cartoon Network and are very satisfied with it. It’s the first version of the game where you can use all 10 monsters. Changing monsters seems to flow and this game captivates my daughter because we were also given some toys. Papaya Studios gave Zoe the Purple Monster, we call him PM. I have no idea what his real name is. My husband told me but I can’t remember everything I’m supposed to blog about. Zoe loves her “PM”.

One of my favorite things about this part of the D3 Family Event Tour was that we took pictures in the Ben10 Jacket and wrist band. My son just loved the wrist band.

Ben 10 Ultimate Omnitrix

You can purchase these wristbands from 5.00 to 50.00 depending on the amount of detail that you want in your band. The ones we played with are listed at Amazon.com for 20.00 and were a lot of fun. It was also nice because we now have a family photo. Family photos are very difficult to acquire.

About Ben 10

Ben 10 is one of Cartoon Network’s most popular cartoon. Ben 10: Alien Force is an American animated television series created by Dwayne McDuffie and Glen Murakami and the studio "Man of Action" (a group consisting of Duncan Rouleau, Joe Casey, Joe Kelly, and Steven T. Seagle), and produced by Cartoon Network Studios. It is a sequel to Ben 10. Set five years after the original series, the storyline is notable for having matured the character and taking a darker tone, with more complex plots, less manicheism and sometimes more character’s death.

Five years after the events of the original series, 15-year old Ben Tennyson has returned to a normal, everyday life. His adventures done, Ben has taken off the Omnitrix and has grown from a young boy into a confident teenager. But the mysterious disappearance of Grandpa Max prompts him to wear the omnitrix then Ben, Gwen, and a newly reformed Kevin Levin to search and locate him. While at the same time enlisting the help of child Plumbers and repelling attacks from a new foe DNAliens and The Highbreed.

Some time after the Highbreed are defeated, Ben, Gwen, and Kevin continue their adventures dealing with various alien threats. These include facing off with some villains from Ben’s past such as Vilgax and Vulkanus.
