BIONICLE Heroes is a third-person shooter video game released in the year of 2006. It was developed by TT games and published by Amaze Entertainment, being the fifth official BIONICLE video game and the second BIONICLE video game released on multiple consoles. The game is located on Voya Nui, featuring the Toa Inika as the main characters and heroes and the Piraka as the antagonists.
Storywise, the game is non-canonical and is loosely based on the BIONICLE Legends story arc, along with featuring various characters from the previous arcs in the franchise.
All the versions of the game are the same, with the exception of the Nintendo DS and Gameboy Advance versions. While the game came out on most platforms in 2006, it came out with its Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, and Nintendo DS versions in 2007. It should also be noted that this game is the first LEGO game to be rated T for Teen by the ESRB.
Plot
It is thought that the console version picks up where the Mobile and GBA versions left off. The game starts after showing the logos of the company that made it. Jaller's Toa canister is seen washing up on Voya Nui after staying in the canister following the first defeat of the Piraka. Waiting there until help was needed again. The canister's lid is seen getting kicked-off. And Jaller runs out to a place where Balta is siting. Balta quickly explains that Vezon and Fenrakk have used the Kanohi Ignika (the Mask of Life) to rebuild the Piraka along with the Rahkshi, Titans, Vahki, Visorak, and Bohrok. Balta then takes the Kanohi Calix (the Mask of Fate) out of a storage unit and puts it on Jaller's face telling him to defeat the villians and to recover the Ignika. The camera then zooms out to show an overview of the island while at the same time showing the rest of the Toa Inika (Jaller's team) walking towards Jaller.
Gameplay
The Game
It features each of the Toa Inika, and they carry one of three different weapons: the tool of the elementally corresponding Toa Mata, the tool of the corresponding Toa Metru, and finally their own tool featured in their set. They upgrade from one weapon to another as the player buys them in the Matoran Enclave. The player fights many enemies spanning all over the BIONICLE world, from Rahkshi to Visorak, as well as some familiar mini-bosses, like Sidorak and Roodaka. The player can unlock different abilities that help them unlock bonus canisters, and once a Piraka is defeated, they can be played as in their zone. However when you defeat Vezon, you cannot play as any of the other Piraka, but Vezon still has all the Piraka's abilities.
