May 27, 2010 - Poor - Ben 10 Alien Force: The Rise of Hex is a waste of ten dollars. It has mundane, awkward platforming, no story context, and a strange difficulty imbalance. There are countless platformers more worth your time than Rise of Hex -- I recommend you play those.

July 15, 2010 - Poor - With an 800 Microsoft points price tag, Ben 10 Alien Force: The Rise of Hex is positioned as an impulse buy, but even then, it fails to impress.
