People seem to really love Ben 10. The Cartoon Network show crosses the lines between kids and adults and when I saw the game demoed at Comic-Con, both sets of ages were there, enjoying the game with equal abandon. I tried it out myself and even though I wasn't terribly familiar with the show, the game was pretty fun. With the game's launch not far off, D3 Publishers has premiered the game's website which is now open and ready for your rather stringent approval. I'm sure you'll have plenty to say about it.

My nephew is pretty fond of the show, so if he's any good at nagging when I was a kid, he can con his mother to get himself a copy. The only line I can see with the cartoon appealing to adults (or me) is the art style of the animation, because it reminds me of other cartoons/comics growing up. It has no interest to me though, but my nephew will be happy to hear this.
When this show first came out I avoided it. Just another wannabe hero show with the main gimmick only created to sell lots of toys. Then I was bored one day and tuned in to it. I was hooked from the start. Great writing and fleshed out characters can add a lot to a programme. I've been keeping an eye on the game in the hope that it might actually be quite good.
PS: the link didn't work.

I suppose I watch the show if it's on, but if I have something else more important to watch (Mythbusters! :O) I'll probably flip away, it's not terribly awesome.
But, Ben 10 has Colonel Campbell. You can't deny his awesomeness.
@Someguy925: Haha yeah, and he sounds exactly the same as he did in MGS :D
Why isn't Hollywood making a live action movie yet?
A 70's Hanna Barbara color scheme, the characters are a strange bunch, and the main conceit of the show is that a kid can turn into various beasts via pushing buttons on his watch. It's a win all across the board.
They are actually making the movie(live action), it looks sort of terrible and I think it's straight to Nickelodeon.
@BALGERY: They actually are making a live action, i saw a very short, like seconds, clip of the lava monster on Cartoon Network. I dont know any details.
@Balgeary: They are making a live action its bout to come one cartoon network it looks really lame. The cartoon is actually pretty good the whole granpa plumber back story is pretty cool. Most cartoons don't translate well to live action.
come on* cartoon network
Unlike alot of the crappy cartoons out now (and note that, despite what some might say, "anime" is "cartoons", so consider my comments offensive no matter where your preferences lie), Ben 10 actually has some semblance of characterization and plot. The characters are more likable and the writing much tighter.
That said, the show has quite a few "filler" eps. And that live action movie was kinda dumb. But the good eps are REALLY good.
@balgeary: they are kinda its coming to cartoon network in november its live aciton/cgi
Ben 10 is alright. Sometimes cheesy, and could've been better. But all and all, better then half the cartoons on TV.
I used to like ben 10, until they started tossing out new aliens in lieu of decent episode plots. And with that sentence, my status as geek is permanently etched into the universal person registry.
The show is good but I don't really like the game. If there's going to be a game about the show you have to be able to play as all the aliens and to be able to get more. And it would be awesome to be able to change between them at will. In other words, a system more like the one in the transformers game where you could change between car and bot easily.
to echo a few comments on here, Ben10 actually has decent story and such, especially the grandfather's backstory. The time travel elements and hints and the girl's future powers have all been great. Probably my 2nd favorite "kids" cartoon on now, behind Kim Possible (which may have just ended again).
