Bionicle Heroes Demo

The Bionicle toys have captured the attention of children all over the world, especially since they are basically made out of insanely popular Lego bricks. Each hero has his own special abilities and a number of upgrades that can be added on top of the existing model, whether it's a new weapon or an armor set.

Bionicle Heroes allows you to play with these characters in a virtual environment and make use of their skills to defeat the forces of evil that are trying to take over the universe. Moreover, the entire world is built using destructible Lego bricks, which allow for a very dynamic gameplay with many hidden secrets and possibilities that can be unlocked by manipulating the blocks around you.

The game plays out as a classic action-adventure, with a third-person perspective and slightly different shooting mechanics. This is due to the fact that the aiming system is automatic, meaning that you do not get to point the weapon wherever you want when you are facing enemies. However, this means that you do not have to bother trying too hard and you can just enjoy the story and the rest of the gimmicks that are available.

Since most of the objects you stumble upon throughout your journey are made from Lego blocks, it means that they can be easily disassembled, by simply shooting at them. By doing so, you get to collect the pieces and raise your score, which in turn enables you to unlock more goodies. Alternatively, there are also some objects that can be assembled, for a change, in order to unlock the path further into the game, or simply gain yet more points.

Graphically-speaking, the game is presented in a very colorful manner, which is only natural, considering the fact that Legos come in all sorts of shapes and colors. The animations are very well made and they accurately depict the movement of the characters, although they do have far less joints that move about when they walk.

All things considered, Bionicle Heroes is exactly what you expect it to be, featuring everyone's favorite Lego toys. The gameplay is very laid back and easy to handle, even for those who are not too experienced with video games.
