    I have to admit, I am totally captivated by BH. What I was going to dismiss as "just another kiddie game" has turned into a visually stunning and highly entertaining video game for young and old alike.

    As an acquaintance of mine once said, this game takes away the blood and gore that makes most shooting games cool, but replaces it all with robots, which are equally cool.

    There’s a lot of fun to be had in Bionicle Heroes, and the price is definitely right, but ultimately this is a game you should be picking up for your kid brother for Christmas, and not for yourself. It’s a game that’s great at what it does, but put against the Gears of Wars of the world, doesn’t pass muster.

    This game is definitely aimed at the young and inexperienced player. Serious gamers need not apply.

    Bionicle Heroes does little to make a name for itself, with repetitive and overly simplistic gameplay, and some rather uninspiring visuals.

    A poorly executed game that could’ve been much more memorable if it had followed a similar path to Lego Star Wars.

    So once again, Traveler's Tales gets the Lego right, only this time they screw up everything but.

    It is good for kids and lots of fun especially when time is limited and you just need to blast things.

Now, their moving out of the cutesy games and into the hard-hitting shooter genre. And they don't do that bad. Firstly, those of you who seem to think gaming was created for adults... No it actually wasn't. This game is a great move by Lego to get slightly older kids into games. And Heroes isn't half bad. The graphics are decent, and the enviroments are beautiful. The characters are varied, with each having their strengths and weaknesses. On the other hand, the story isn't as easy to follow as Lego Star Wars, and the Hero Mode is a little too easy to achieve. But those aren't big downsides. Those of you who thought lego made a mistake with this game, you are very, very wrong indeed.… Expand

    A great little game for passing an hour or so when you really want a game where you can relax and take your time.

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.
