    The Nintendo Wii console is best known for its next-generation game play, centering on the Wiimote. Unfortunately, Ben 10: Alien Force fails to capitalize on any of the console's innovative controls—and is a mediocre action game, at best. As they embark on their journey to find Grandpa Max and defeat an alien race, young Ben 10 gamers will discover quickly that the game's difficulty level is remarkably low. What's worse, the graphics are poor and game controls so simple that the game ends up better suited for the Game Boy Advance. Ultimately, the Wii market is saturated with youth-oriented titles that are far superior to Ben 10: Alien Force—games that take better advantage of the console's uniqueness while bringing fun to the entire family.
