Unlike mindless shooters, Bionicle's well-developed characters and plot give it a real sense of adventure. It's able to leave the player with the feeling of visiting a strange and mystical place while still offering fun and varied gameplay.

Story aside, there's some pretty decent action here. Gameplay includes straight-up action, light puzzle solving, and fast-paced racing. The variety keeps things fresh and ensures you won't become bored.

This game may have suffered from mixed reviews but Heroes was mostly the better Bionicle game with a lot of personality the story mode is pretty solid while it's takes time to get used to collecting the matorans as well as unlocking bonus content such as a trailer for Bionicle mask of light the movie followed by other promotional stuff and concept art it feels almost lighthearted to say the least even though the Xbox version is the better one of the bunch PS2 and GameCube seem to be average

Love that game. Diverse and interesting gameplay, iconic characters and awesome soundtrack lead you through an epic journey. Yeah, camera controls are terrible, but i can live with it.

If you are a PC gamer looking for a decent third person platform title, do yourself a favor, do not pick this up and grab a console.

Definitely not a purchase for mature PC gamers, but for those wanting a gaming introductory lesson for their young children, this might just be for you. Just plan on lots of patience, as this is certainly targeted toward the LEGO fans of the world.

Bionicle's horrible controls and confusing camera angles (which shift at inopportune times) make it a terribly frustrating experience. [Feb 2004, p.77]

All the wonder of the Bionicle universe has been bled dry by a vapid design, an atrocious camera system, and one noteworthy bug.

The adventure is also far too short and easy -- you can complete the entire game (100%) in less than two hours -- even while struggling with some counterintuitive (because of control) levels.

Set on Mata Nui in LEGO's expansive BIONICLE universe, this videogame is one for the kids. As for the game itself, the coolness of BIONICLE, enjoyable music and decent appearance are well outweighed by the short campaign attempting to cram in the entire first act of BIONICLE (and does it poorly), clunky controls, nonexistent camera controls, and sometimes awkwardly unforgiving sections. Kids won't mind too much and its worth a play for a fan (on a console or old XP PC that is) but otherwise, pass.

This game is the definition of "It's an alright license game". It has a bad story that makes no sense, bad level design, poor difficulty scaling, and all-around, it just kinda ****. Still, it's an interesting game if you liked Bionicle from back in the day.

The bad camera and horrible controls make this game extremely frustrating. If you really want to play this game, don't buy it on PC because I can only hope that it's not as horrendous on a console.

A very strange game. There are a lot of problems in this game. The plot is average. The graphics are normal.
