  1. It is fun for all ages, but isn’t very challenging for older gamers.

    A busy and rather decent shooter targeted towards young 'uns, but there's very little on offer here for veteran gamers. [Christmas 2006, p.85]

    Ideal for youngsters old enough to shoot things but too young for blood and guts. Fun, but flawed. [Christmas 2006, p.96]
  4. This game is definitely aimed at the young and inexperienced player. Serious gamers need not apply.
  5. Not even the allure of shiny robots with guns for arms can liven up this mind-numbingly simplistic and repetitive over-the-shoulder shooter.
  6. Bionicle Heroes looks good, and has a decent license backing it, but completely fails to capture the magic that made the LEGO Star Wars games a hit. What you get instead is an average, boring shooter that’s only worth playing if you have a deep love for the source material.
  7. Bionicle Heroes does little to make a name for itself, with repetitive and overly simplistic gameplay, and some rather uninspiring visuals.
  8. Clunky controls and nonexistent difficulty, however, reduce the game into bargain bin status.
  9. The sluggish controls and slow-as-molasses gameplay act as a virus that kills off any excitement this game could have had. Missions are boring and extremely repetitive.
  10. I cannot recommend this game for adults, kids, or even a rental, unless you plan to find humour in a so bad it's good kind of way.
  11. God help the kid that gets this as a present when they should have gotten one of the LEGO Star Wars games instead. Seriously, just avoid this game and pick up one of TT's better efforts.

    If you really love LEGOs, buy a pack from a local store instead--it's much more entertaining. [Feb. 2007, p.88]
  13. Even the target audience has games in the same genre that are more well defined. While these may entertain, after one or two levels you realize that there is nothing new coming.

    This game gave me the feeling of when you get that epic victory royal, i had more joy playing this game than i received during the birth of myThis game gave me the feeling of when you get that epic victory royal, i had more joy playing this game than i received during the birth of my first born son, i bring this game in the front of my car and make my son sit in the back like the peasant he is in comparison to bionicles heroes for the ps2. I have no need for regular pass times that other humans partake in , bionicles heroes for the ps2 is my only joy in life, this game has brought me back from depression and given me new life, this is not just the greatest game of all time but the greatest creation man has ever seen, the bible is dog sh*t in comparison to the story that is told by bionicles heroes for the ps2. To conclude my head stone on my grave will not have my name, it will read "Bionicles heroes ps2 lover" Full Review »

    This is clearly one of the best Lego games. It has good graphics, superb gameplay, epic music and unforgettable characters.
    A game for all ages.
