Summary
Many years ago, the mention of Lego prompted images of coloured bricks that kids used to build things with. Then came motorised Lego, and then themed Lego sets. Today, things are stranger still, with Lego wars and battles taking place in TV rooms. Bringing Lego’s dark side to life is Bionicle for PlayStation 2.
Set in a fantasy world in which a dark shadow has been cast, six unwitting heroes have been brought together to bring down the menacing Makuta. With your Toa powers at your fingertips, elemental spells and combat are going to be your greatest allies as you traverse six hostile game worlds inspired by elements such as fire, water and ice.
Once you have chosen your hero, you must explore the world of Mata Nui, defeating evil minions, overcoming hazards and solving puzzles along the way. It sounds very similar to an RPG experience, and in many respects it is. It’s a great blend of adventure and combat, but it doesn’t inflict myriad stat menus and confusing dialogue on its players. It’s easily accessible, which is crucial to a game with a young target audience.
Much of the game action takes place on foot, tinkering with Toa powers and ridding the game world of your enemies. But there are other ways to get around Mata Nui. In several sections of the game, players can snowboard down icy mountains and even surf through lava streams. They’re almost like mini-games and offer a break from the norm.
Bionicle is a sound adventure game that kids are going to love.
