Reminiscent of LEGO Star Wars, the premise behind this current
instalment is rather similar as you explore the environment, break
things apart, collect LEGO and of course battle other Bionicle enemies.
Interesting enough, the Bionicles that you control have access to
elemental powers that allows you to access other parts of the game that
normal characters cannot. In terms of the environment, there are 6
different "zones" from fire to ice which assists in breaking up that
some may consider monotony.
Exploring this world was actually quite fun, although not as fun as LEGO
Star Wars, however if you know about this universe, than I'm sure it
would be.
The game moves along with interesting cutscenes that are actually quite
entertaining, even amusing and I'm sure younger gamers will simply adore them and it
also gives you something to look forward to. The puzzles are generally
quite easy to solve as are the boss battles which sometimes does require
some patience.
The
control system on the PC is decent, although nothing beats a console
control and it's quite simplistic to master, ensuring children of all
ages will easily be able to pick it up and play. Best of all, there are
bonus stages and some interesting items which can be purchased, provided
you have collected enough items along the way to assist with the overall
gameplay.
Graphically, the title is a visual treat on the PC and best of all, the
system requirements are rather low, ensuring that a variety of computers
can easily play this game on full detail and high resolution. Of course the
Bionicles are the star of the game with some great texture detail and
animation which goes hand in hand with the gameplay.
Match
that with a variety of special effects, a decent colour palette and some
comprehensive gaming environments and for a game of this age, it's held up
quite well. The soundtrack adds to the gameplay and sounds quite
majestic and adventurous at times that is matched with a plethora of
sound effects from the Bionicles universe.
Kids
who are into Bionicles will definitely enjoy this game as they explore
the universe, solve puzzles and of course battle other nasties. The
gameplay does become a little repetitive, however generally most games
do but through the unlockable content and movies, it will definitely assist
in seeing them complete the game.
If
your kids loved LEGO Star Wars and they are a fan Bionicles, than you've
definitely got a winner on your hands, however for those kids looking
for a little more substance, than you want to find something else.
