Great for older Ben10 fans,
My 4 year old son borrowed a Omnitrix FX from a friend for a couple of weeks and played with it non-stop, had so much imaginative play with it that when I saw this one reduced to £12 I knew it would be well worth the money.
The deluxe one does seem to be much better quality than the F/x. It has a thick fabric strap that fastens with velcro so fairly easy to put on and take off. It is a big hunk of plastic but my son loves that about it. It has a black and white screen and various modes in which too play. this is where problems arose a little for my little boy who has not yet learnt to read. He cannot play in battle mode as this consists of a little animation of Ben running for a while and then at random times the watch makes a noise to alert you a villain has approached. Text then runs along under a picture of the villain instructing you which Alien you must turn the omnitrix too in order to win. It then times you while you turn the dial thro the aliens, choose the correct one and hit the watch. It then shows a little fight – not amazing graphics but the kids don’t care – and tell you whether you have won or lost.
Normal mode is a lot simpler – you turn the dial, select which alien you want to be and hit the watch, much like Ben10 himself. It makes all the right noises and then shows a few images of your chosen alien.
There is also status mode which shows how many battle you have won and lost and options which you can turn the sound off.
When we first got this, my little boy kept having to bring it too me has he had wandered into various modes and couldn’t get to where he wanted to be. I think for younger fans the FX is probably sufficient although the plastic strap is nowhere near as nice or comfortable looking and I think considering it doesn’t actually do anything other than make noises and flash light it ought to be substantially less expensive than the deluxe.
Now my son has had this a week or so he seems to have worked out how to navigate around it without being able to read what it says, and taking the closeness in price into account, I would have to recommend the deluxe Omnitrix over the Omnitrix F/X.

|Brilliant!,
I bought this for Christmas for my nearly 6 year old and he LOVES it!!
The battle mode took a bit of explaining, but now he plays it all the time and it’s helping him slightly with his reading too.
A typical boy, my son seems to break almost everything, but this has lasted great so far… even when my 18mth old decided to have a go!!
I did a bit of research before buying this and would defiantly recommend this one over the others. For a few pounds more you are getting a far better product.

|good for role play but don’t expect much from the functions,
I bought this for my boy who is 5. He was very excited about it and still plays with it weeks on from purchase but not as often as you would think. It looks impressive and for role play is good. The things it can do are really really really basic. Mind you, despite the lameness of the effects he seems to like it better than the ds game!
As an adult who likes Ben 10 I think it looks cool but the functions could have been better. The battle mode (the most ‘interesting’ one) has you having to turn the dial to find the correct hero in time. If you find the right hero in time you win the ‘battle’ if not you lose……….. yeah great! Another mode helpfully keeps your score and another one allows you to ‘turn’ to the hero you want to be – however for a child who is into Ben 10 it is an essential bit of kit and this, with the outfit, transforms the average kid into Ben 10. Whether it is worth the money is debateable but are any of these toys worth the money!? I think on the role play front he will get more enjoyment and use out of it than alot of other toys so on that level it is probably worth it!
