The Critics

__________________________________________
"When LEGO Star Wars hit our consoles last year, most of us were pretty amazed that a tiny licensed game could hold so much replay value. When we got a second dose of it just a few months ago with the sequel, we were again amazed at how much fun the series could be. Now we’ve got Bionicle Heroes, a game that takes what was good about LEGO Star Wars and tries to transition it to a more robust single player experience, and despite a few quirks it manages to work out. The game has a few gameplay quirks worth mentioning, such as a troublesome camera, some targeting issues during combat and an overall A.D.D. over-stimulated feel, but it’s still a ton of fun. We can tell that that series takes inspiration from titles like Resident Evil 4, Unreal Tournament, and a dash of Halo, and for the most part the game does a decent job of simplifying its inspiration, converting down to a younger level, and keeping some of the magic and core gameplay that comes with those designs. In the end the game is a solid holiday buy for younger gamers, but it isn’t going to be captivating gamers of all ages like LEGO Star Wars has dome time and time again. Bionicle Heroes is a very entertaining licensed game, it has a ton of replay value, and it’s a no-brainer for younger action/adventure fans. In that way, it’s a success."

"Bionicle Heroes is a fun game that will keep young gamers busy for a good while. There’s nothing for parents to be worried about, which might just be a selling point in its own right. While the game can’t really stand on its own, when compared to the rest of the childrens’ games on the Xbox 360 (there really aren’t any) Bionicle Heroes fares pretty well. The LEGO elements are just as fun as ever, and the advent of the masks provides solid variety. A few control issues notwithstanding, Bionicle Heroes is a worthy addition to a game library that is probably totally devoid of titles for the little ones of the house."

__________________________________________
"Bionicle Heroes is without a doubt aimed at kids and is as E10+ as a shooter can get, but even a child will quickly grow bored by the lack of challenge, innovation, and story development in this game. The blatant similarities to the Lego Star Wars series are also troubling because they often leave you with the feeling that you're playing a retextured version of those games. Although the game does have bursts of inspiration in the charm of the cutscenes, these are spread entirely too thin and don't come close to carrying the package or making up for the disappointing gameplay. Those who enjoy the Bionicle storyline will most likely have an easier time looking past this game's flaws, but if you're looking for a fun and engaging game, definitely pass on this one."

I just watched the trailer on Xbox Live and it sucks from what I can tell. The whole mask idea seems like it would offer a horrible storyline if there is one at all.
