Ben 10 Protector of Earth is an action beat 'em up title released for the Nintendo DS in 2007. D3 Publisher brought the game to market while 1st Playable Productions handled the handheld development, working alongside High Voltage Software who built the console versions. The game pulls its story directly from the original Ben 10 animated series, following young Ben Tennyson as he travels across the United States with his cousin Gwen and Grandpa Max. Players smash through waves of alien enemies using five transformations from the Omnitrix, including Four Arms, Heatblast, XLR8, Wildvine, and Cannonbolt. Each alien form carries its own attacks and special skills, giving fights a fresh feel as players switch between brute strength, speed, and ranged fire. The DS version uses the touch screen for combo finishers and Omnitrix selection, which keeps the handheld experience tied closely to the cartoon source material kids loved at the time.

Overview
Ben 10 Protector of Earth is an action beat 'em up title released for the Nintendo DS in 2007. D3 Publisher brought the game to market while 1st Playable Productions handled the handheld development, working alongside High Voltage Software who built the console versions. The game pulls its story directly from the original Ben 10 animated series, following young Ben Tennyson as he travels across the United States with his cousin Gwen and Grandpa Max. Players smash through waves of alien enemies using five transformations from the Omnitrix, including Four Arms, Heatblast, XLR8, Wildvine, and Cannonbolt. Each alien form carries its own attacks and special skills, giving fights a fresh feel as players switch between brute strength, speed, and ranged fire. The DS version uses the touch screen for combo finishers and Omnitrix selection, which keeps the handheld experience tied closely to the cartoon source material kids loved at the time.
The story spans five themed regions including the Grand Canyon, Tokyo, Las Vegas, Mount Rushmore, and Hawaii. Each area ends with a boss fight against classic villains from the show such as Kevin 11, Vilgax, Zs'Skayr, and Dr. Animo. Between brawling sections, players solve light platforming puzzles that require specific alien abilities, such as climbing walls with Wildvine or rolling through tight gaps as Cannonbolt. The combat system rewards combo chaining and timed dodges, with experience points feeding into upgrade trees for each alien. Voice clips from the original cartoon cast bring familiar lines into the action, and short cutscenes push the plot forward between stages. While the game stays simple and aimed at younger fans, the mix of brawling, puzzles, and transformations gives it lasting appeal. Ben 10 Protector of Earth stands as one of the stronger licensed handheld titles of its era and a fun pick for series fans.
