Ben 10 is an adolescent boy's dream character. "10" is for the different super characters that he can morph into - aliens from alien planets: Echo Echo, Goop, Brainstorm, Chromastone, Big Chill, Humungousaur, Spidermonkey, Swampfire, Jet Ray, and Cannonbolt. They are as varied as their names imply.

But actually, who are they; who is the Villgax character that shares the title; how did Ben become Ben 10 anyway? If you are a fan of the Cartoon Network show - you know. But how about those kids who don't watch the show? Must be at least a few hundred thousand of them. There is no information in the manual and only three verbs on the box - Experience, Explore, Battle. Whatever happened to "selling" a game? Dumping it on the shelves and expecting the buyers to fill in the spaces is a disservice to the team that made the game and shows a lack of respect for your clients.

There is information if you will read the very fine print on the back of the box and go through four different levels of sites - but how many kids will? http://www.ben10thevideogame.com/vilgaxattacks/
