This time Ben 10 must battle the invading force of the Highbreed, a group of aliens who are secretly plotting to take over the world. Unfortunately, Ben’s grandfather Max has mysteriously disappeared trying to fight the alien threat and has been supplanted on Team Tennyson by Ben 10’s cocky ex-rival Kevin. The story sounds like more exciting Ben 10 action, and was hastily adapted into a video game for every console known to man.
