Ben 10 (Sega Genesis)

Ben 10 (Sega Genesis)
Ladies and gentlemen, the Sega Genesis bootleg game made out of Ben 10 developed by the same developer behind this terrible trainwreck, and no, this was NOT made by Cartoon Network Games.
Platform(s): Sega Mega Drive Release Date: 2012 Developer(s): BMB Publisher(s): Kudos

Ben 10 is an unlicensed Russian Sega Mega Drive port of a beat-em-up for Java phones Ben 10: The Power Of Omnitrix, based on the TV series of the same name. No developer credits exist in the game, but several elements point it to having been made by BMB.

Why We Should Give it A Big HET

1. A gory and upsetting continue screen showing Ben covered in blood. But that's just the beginning. In a manner similar to the Felix the Cat bootleg, choosing "НЕТ" ("nyet", Russian for "no") or having no continues will lead to a game over screen that will utterly horrify children (and in some cases, adults as well), as it shows a hand rising from the ground in the dead of night. This game over screen was used for the flash game Zombie Last Night as the title screen. Coincidentally, Zombie Last Night was released a year before this game was released and likely when this game was being worked on.
2. The enemies' hitboxes are way too small, rendering most of your attacks unreliable and ineffective against them.
3. Similar to SpongeBob HeroPants, there is no final boss, just a couple of enemies, but with much more health.
4. The game is basically an asset thief.
   • The box art is also just a zoomed in picture of Ben from the Ben 10 Galactic Racing box art. Also, the Ben on the box art is the teenage version of him, when this game features the 10-year-old Ben.
   • The cutscenes are just coloring sheets that someone poorly colored in.
5. The game is very short; you can beat it in just 20 minutes. Even Ninjabread Man is longer than this.
6. Very boring and repetitive; there are no other moves besides punching and kicking so it gets very boring.
   • You cannot turn into any of Ben's aliens despite it being based of the TV show where he does this to fight.
7. Terrible controls nearly on par with the Mario Genesis games (which also happen to be developed by BMB).
8. Ugly looking cutscene's graphics.
9. Almost no sound as it is mostly just music.
10. Very easy for a beat em up game. And not in a good way, mind you.
11. Same as Felix the Cat (Genesis) game, it has a bad ending, showing some text.

Redeeming Qualities

1. The soundtrack from both games is good, despite consisting of songs derived from the TFM Music Maker.
2. At least it is better than most other BMB games.

Trivia

• Like most BMB games, the continue and game over screens play Uwol: Quest For Money's continue screen theme and uses TFMMusic Maker.
• As mentioned above, Felix the Cat has a bootleg game with a gory game over screen. The continue screen in that game, however, showed no gore.
• There is also a reskin of this game based off the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, titled TMNT: The Legend Returns. It is the exact same game, just with a Ninja Turtles skin.
  • Additionally, the continue and game over screens in TMNT: The Legend Returns have no gore. The game over screen in TMNT: The Legend Returns is also pretty cute and funny.
