Ben 10: Ultimate Alien Cosmic Destruction (2010) is the fifth installment in the Ben 10 video game series and the first to feature the “Ultimatrix.” On the PSP, it was a standout action-adventure title that captured the high-stakes feel of the Ultimate Alien show, allowing players to transform into hyper-evolved “Ultimate” forms for the first time.
Game Story & Premise
A mysterious “Cosmic Storm” is approaching Earth, threatening to destroy the planet. Ben discovers that he must collect the scattered pieces of an ancient Galvan artifact called the Potis Altiare to gain the power necessary to stop the storm.
The Plot: Accompanied by Gwen and Kevin, Ben travels to iconic real-world locations including Rome, Paris, Tokyo, China, and the Amazon. Along the way, he faces off against classic villains like Vulkanus, Enoch, and Sunder, eventually leading to a final showdown against a rogue To’kustar (the same species as Way Big) who is behind the cosmic threat.

Key Gameplay Mechanics
-
Ultimate Forms: Certain aliens (Humungousaur, Swampfire, Spidermonkey, Big Chill, and Echo Echo) can transform into their “Ultimate” versions. These forms have massive health pools and devastating specialized attacks, used primarily for boss fights and large waves of enemies.
-
Quick Switch: A major improvement over previous games; you can swap between your selected aliens instantly without opening a radial menu, allowing for fluid combat combos (e.g., freezing an enemy with Big Chill and immediately switching to Armodrillo for a heavy strike).
-
Enhanced Roster: Introduces the “Andromeda Five” aliens from the series: Armodrillo, Water Hazard, AmpFibian, Terraspin, and NRG.
-
Quick Time Events (QTEs): For the first time in the series, cinematic boss finishers and certain environmental puzzles are handled through timed button prompts, giving the game a more “interactive movie” feel during major moments.
-
Upgrades: Collect Red Sumo Slammer cards to earn “DNA points,” which are used to upgrade each alien’s strength, speed, and defense.
Short Review: The Ultimate Handheld Ben 10
The Good
-
Globe-Trotting Variety: The shift from generic sci-fi hallways to real-world cities makes the levels feel much more distinct and interesting to explore.
-
Smooth Gameplay: The combat is faster and more responsive than Vilgax Attacks. The Quick Switch feature makes the PSP version feel surprisingly modern.
-
Authentic Presentation: Having the original voice cast and music makes it feel like an interactive “special episode” of the cartoon.
The Bad
-
Short Campaign: You can beat the entire game in about 5–6 hours, and there isn’t much “Endgame” content aside from replaying levels to find hidden cards.
-
Missing Features: Unlike the PS3/Xbox 360 versions, the PSP version does not have platform-exclusive aliens (like Four Arms or Rath).
-
Technical Hiccups: Occasionally, the camera can get stuck behind objects, and the frame rate may dip when too many enemies are on screen.
