Ben 10: Ultimate Alien: Cosmic Destruction is a video game that involves Ben traveling to iconic real-world locations in search of the parts to an ancient Galvan artifact called the Potis Altiare to save the Earth from total destruction by an evil To'kustar.
Gameplay[]
Ben 10: Ultimate Alien: Cosmic Destruction is the new game that introduces the new alien heroes: Water Hazard, Armodrillo, Ampfibian, Terraspin, and NRG from the Ben 10: Ultimate Alien television series, allowing players to tunnel or beat through evil alien enemies, unleash water blasts, emit radiation beams, shoot electricity bolts and fire, wind attacks, and more, with a unique experience system which lets them upgrade alien attributes and abilities. The game also provides all-new game enhancements such as Quick Switch, which allows players to switch alien forms faster than ever, and Quick Time Events which creates a cinematic experience that guides players through fierce boss battles and challenging puzzle elements. Players will control Ben and up to 16 alien heroes including Ultimate Big Chill, Ultimate Spidermonkey, Ultimate Echo Echo, Ultimate Swampfire, Ultimate Humungousaur, Four Arms (PS3) and Rath (Xbox 360).
The game expands upon the Vilgax Attacks formula by making alien transformation much easier by switching between alien forms without the need to switch back to Ben - which was an unlockable secret in previous games, with players given a specific quartet of four aliens per level, three of which are required to perform tasks to progress in each level. Gwen acts as Ben's navigator in the game, teaching players the mechanics of the game and how to perform them, as well as their in-game applications. From defeated enemies and destroyed objects, health pickups and experience points will spawn, and the player can redeem the latter to increase aliens' stats (damage output, cooldown time) and increase the power of any of their four special attacks each. Certain specials can interact with the environment and are necessary to progress in levels, and have aftereffects which allow for continual damage on enemies and bosses, allowing for battle tactic creativity.
The health and Ultimatrix energy meters cannot be restored but the latter refills gradually or can be refilled by successfully damaging enemies and bosses. There is only one attack button which simplifies combat, and is comboable into specials. All forms can dash by blocking and then moving in any direction.

Cast[]
Errors[]
- When certain aliens interact with switches or any other objects they do not actually touch the switch/object but the switch/object moves.
- When Terraspin hovers, his eyes are white.
- Sometimes while Terraspin lands and gets hit by enemies, he will have seven arms/feet.
- If the player jumps using Big Chill and starts punching rapidly, his wings do not close until he stops punching, or doesn't punch fast enough.
- On the DS, while choosing an alien form, only the center of the Ultimatrix dial is opened.
- On the PSP, in the cutscene where Ben meets Enoch, at the end where Ben says "Yeah yeah, blah blah blah... It's hero time!" and holds out his hand to the Ultimatrix, sometimes the Omnitrix is shown.
- In The Catacombs level, while encountering Enoch, if the player forcibly goes to the other end of the colosseum without fighting the enemies using the circular stone, the game will softlock and not progress. Even if the player takes down the three pillars, Enoch will not come down and remain there with no collision detection. This is only tested on the PSP version.
- On the Wii, when the player fails to complete the Forever Knights Castle stage once on the shifting bridges, the second time Ben appears in the checkpoint, the metal lock does not disappear yet Ben can get through it easily.
- The Havoc Beasts are misnamed as "Orf Beasts".
- The Wigzelian Org Beasts are misnamed as "Havocbeasts".
- The Dagger Aliens are misnamed as "criminal alien" along with their enemy class.
- During the special report news scene, Ampfibian's electricity is yellow.
- In the Great Wall level on the PS3 version, the player can fall through the floor for no reason and keep falling without dying. This forces the player to reset the game.
- In the Amazon level on the console versions, when the player falls into the water, there is no more water near the surface.
- Ultimate Echo Echo has 5 fingers instead of 4.
- When Humungousaur fights Evil Way Big, his eyes are white until he falls in the water.
- During the Final Boss battle, Way Big is much taller than the nearby bridge, but in the cutscenes, he is about a quarter of the height of the bridge.
- Way Big's cosmic ray is shown to be green instead of pale blue.
- Kraab is misspelled as "Krabb" in the credits.
Continuity[]
- In a conversation between Evil Way Big and Psyphon, they bring up the destruction of the dwarf planet Pluto, an event that took place in the episode X = Ben + 2.
- When Ben first meets Kraab, he says "Oh yeah! The guy that put the 'ug' in 'ugly'!", calling back to when he first said it to him as Ghostfreak in Hunted.
- In a cutscene, the source of Will Harangue's footage of Ben is theorized to be Jimmy, accidentally leaking it from his website like he did before in Fame.
- In a cutscene, Ben mentioned his teleportation to Primus in Primus.
- At the end of the game, Albedo referenced the time Ben commanded the Omnitrix to self-destruct in the episode The Final Battle: Part 2.
Allusions[]
- In a cutscene, Azmuth kiddingly tells the trio to click their heels together three times should they ever need him; a reference to The Wizard of Oz.
- In a cutscene, Jimmy and Ben get excited about the newest Sumo Slammers movie: "Sumo Slammers 2: Electric Slammeroo". This is in reference to the infamous subtitle of the movie Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo.
Trivia[]
- The Ultimate forms are not unlockable; The player can only play as them in certain levels. In the DS version, however, when the player builds up the meter, the alien turns ultimate for a power blast to do a lot of damage to all the enemies on the screen, or if it's an alien without an ultimate, it will do a power blast instead.
- Within the museum, there are several memorabilia of Forever Knights artifacts such as armours, shields, tapestry and the infinity crests throughout the building.
- In the museum, after defeating the Vreedle Brothers, there's a statue of a Vaxasaurian holding a ring. The same statue can be found on Terradino in Vilgax Attacks.
- Within the same location, there are two swords within stones on display; Resembling Excalibur. Among the several portraits, one appears to be of a sorcerer, presumably Merlin.
- Ultimate Cannonbolt is the only ultimate alien that is not playable in this game.
- Ultimate Wildmutt and Ultimate Way Big don't count as they weren't introduced until after this game was released.
- Though Chromastone is not a playable alien in the game, his hologram can be seen briefly in the cutscene between levels 7 and 8.
