    This game offends the great white and grey lord Solek with it's lime green colors. Also where is Solek? Oh... I get it now... It's just another game produced by the evil T*nm*nian empire... For followers of Solek, please don't corrupt your holy white and grey colors with this evil game.

    I bought it because I loved playing Lego Star Wars II, and thought it would be similar. While it is slightly similar, it's lacking in almost every aspect. The cooperative 2-player that was so much fun in LSW2 is totally missing, and the gameplay gets old quickly. While it's not the worst game I've ever played, it's hard to recommend.

    At first glance this looks like any other LEGO game. You're thrown into a hub world (without any sort of tutorial to help you get your bearings) that branches off into the various levels you need to complete and from there you immediately begin destroying everything in sight for LEGO pieces. It doesn't take long to realize just how lacking in content this is however. Each zone is comprisedAt first glance this looks like any other LEGO game. You're thrown into a hub world (without any sort of tutorial to help you get your bearings) that branches off into the various levels you need to complete and from there you immediately begin destroying everything in sight for LEGO pieces. It doesn't take long to realize just how lacking in content this is however. Each zone is comprised of the same four level loop and there's no platforming or puzzle solving in any of the stages. Literally all Bionicle Heroes has going for it in the gameplay department is the third-person shooting, and that proves to not be much fun due to the awkward controls, extremely limited enemy variety, and dull boss battles.

    Even the collect-a-thon element Traveller's Tales games are known for comes up short. Usually tracking down everything in a LEGO game requires you to replay levels with new character types in order to open up new paths with their own amusing secrets and mini-games. Here you just upgrade the already existing characters at the store and open a door you previously couldn't. What's behind the door? Just the collectible itself and nothing else new or exciting.

    There is also no real story to speak of. So those hoping for some kind of narrative that makes use of the series' complex lore are sure to be disappointed outside of the brief bits of fanservice. There are cutscenes, but all they do is show off Traveller's Tales' kid-friendly sense of slapstick humor which proves to be a poor fit for the Bionicle brand.

    While the developer might have just had a misguided vision for the game from the start, it's the rushed and incomplete feeling you get that makes Heroes not worth playing. There's simply not enough variety or content to keep the mindless action from becoming a repetitive slog and the potential for this to have been so much more can be clearly seen. It's a lot like opening up a new LEGO set only to find out that most of the essential pieces are missing. You're frustrated, letdown, and ultimately left with something you can't have that much fun with.

    Game and Idea are fun

    Game and LEVEL 1 are both difficult as f*ck

    SERIOUSLY LEVEL **** 1 is harder than hell.

    How is a force field on the boss fair in any way?

    Bionicle Heroes... where do I even begin? It is not that terrible of a game or anything, but to be honest, it is just a mind-numbing disappointment. The gameplay lacks any sort of excitement and is VERY repetitive throughout all the levels, leaving players feeling utterly unengaged. It is a shame because the potential was there for something to be good, but Bionicle Heroes falls flat inBionicle Heroes... where do I even begin?

It is a shame because the potential was there for something to be good, but Bionicle Heroes falls flat in delivering an enjoyable gaming experience. Every single level in this game is pretty much copied and pasted with just a few changes of the level environment. To all the die-hard Bionicle fans out there, you might want to think about maybe skipping this snooze-fest, this is not your average LEGO game.… Expand

    There's a cavern in here reserved for viewing your stockpile, along with enough mini-games to keep you busy until the 720 comes out. [Dec. 2006, p.76]

    The LEGO elements are just as fun as ever, and the advent of the masks provides solid variety.

    Besides the poor camera angle, it's easy to play and is challenging enough to hold your attention for an enjoyable and borderline addictive experience. [Issue 18, p.87]
