Bionicle ( for XBOX ) Review

Customer Ratings:

I had a chance to preview this game recently and I was not expecting much. Lego's previous electronic games (mostly for the PC) have been bloated platforms with terrible graphics and so-so game play. However, this title is a complete turnaround from the previous examples. My 8-year-old is gonna LOVE this game!

My 6 year old son is a Bionicle fan, and he also loves platform-style games, so this title is a perfect fit. I think that, for the target audience, the game is well done. It is short; my son beat it in two days all by himself (except for two fights that I did for him). It might be better if it were priced in the thirty dollar range, because of the length. But there is a good mix of action/platforming gameplay involved, and it never gets too difficult. If you die, you just restart the section you were on, with no penalty, no limit on "lives", nothing. Very kid-friendly. Argonaut Games also created the excellent I-Ninja, so there's a quality developer behind the title. The graphics are not really up to Xbox standards, but for a multi-platform release they are serviceable and do have some nice lighting effects. The story also ends up reflecting events in the Mask of Light DVD movie, so if you're familiar with that, it will add another dimension to the game for you. Bottom line: if you are wondering if this game is worth your money, I say yes if you are buying it for a younger Bionicle fan. It's a game he or she will enjoy and will actually finish in a few days (how many unfinished games do you have sitting on your shelf?)

This game will definetly NOT appeal to hard-core gaming fans, but fans of BIONICLE(which I am) and Kids should like it. It's fairly easy, but we just recently got an Xbox and this was the first game we tried on it(you can't try something like Halo and expect to be good at it right away).

BIONICLE fans might find something lacking about it, and I'll tell you: Not enough levels. The only Original Toa you can play are Tahu and Kopaka, and then you play all the Toa Nuva in turn EXCEPT Kopaka Nuva. Oh well.

Still, don't be put off by video game review websites or some lousy customer reviews. It IS a fun game, has some challenging parts, and has good graphics(not amazing, but still good). The stupid "bad camera angles" are junk talk, because you can control the angle(except for a few parts, but what it's doing is showing you the way)and it looks fine to me.

It's a great game, and pretty well designed for a Kid's game.

Honest reviews on Bionicle ( for XBOX )

This game is awesome on the xbox. I used to have this game for pc and it SUCKS on pc. On the xbox it runs perfectly smooth. As a bionicle fan, this game is so cool, it's perfect. it has top notch voice acting, combat, story, and music. The only flaw this game has is the game length; it barely took me an hour to finish it. This needs to be a 40-hour long RPG. Still it's a good game; but ONLY if you are a bionicle fan.

This could be more fun if it wasn't so short. The game also freezes a couple times on my 360. Also the game doesn't have much story and some parts have no explanation as to what's going on.
