In an original storyline developed exclusively for the game, Ben and the Omnitrix will journey to outer space and distant never-before-seen planets for the first time ever in the series. As in the show, Ben will use 10 of his alien forms and their special powers to battle his greatest enemy, Vilgax, and an extreme team of fearsome foes in an effort to thwart a grand scheme to conquer the universe one planet at a time.

“The best of the Ben 10 franchise is rolled into one big adventure in Ben 10 Alien Force: Vilgax Attacks, showcasing eleven playable characters as well as favorite enemies, allies and locations from throughout Ben’s world,” said Kim Motika, vice president of worldwide sales and operations, D3Publisher. “With an original storyline, Ben 10 Alien Force: Vilgax Attacks will take players on an intergalactic journey in never-before-seen alien home worlds that is sure to please both fans of the television series and videogames.”

In Ben 10 Alien Force: Vilgax Attacks, players will take control of Ben and the popular alien forms: Echo Echo, Goop, Brainstorm, ChromaStone, Big Chill, Humungousaur, Spidermonkey, Swampfire, Jet Ray, and Cannonbolt to manipulate fire, harness electricity, freeze enemies and more. Players will also adventure as alien form Upchuck exclusively in the Nintendo DS version for additional powers to command and explore. Gamers will journey to exciting alien home planets on Ben’s first intergalactic adventure as they travel in an upgradeable spacecraft and blast through asteroid fields and enemy ships. Offering a solid blend of combat, puzzle solving and platform gameplay, Ben 10 Alien Force: Vilgax Attacks provides hours of gameplay for players of all skill levels.

“Building on the solid success of our first two titles, this latest release will continue to further the success of our video game franchise and cement Ben 10's position as thriving global brand," said Christina Miller, vice president, Cartoon Network Enterprises. “Together with D3, we have once again created a game that contains the qualities fans have come to expect from the Ben 10 video game series and we look forward to its release this fall.”
