Admittedly there's something decent here? Just seemingly did not get the time to get fleshed out like the devs wanted it to be.
Disappointing that one of the best franchises of all time only has garbage games.
I remember even as a kid I was so disappointed by this. The combat is mindless, and it does that late 90s/early 2000s scrimblo bimblo thing where it's trying to be 4 different video games in one, but when the normal gameplay barely works, this means stuff like the mine cart level works even less.
I wonder if this game could've been a bit more coherent if it just got to be a played-straight game adaptation of the movie, rather than trying to recap 3 arcs of the Bionicle story in 7 really short levels. Because as is, the plot feels like it's on fast-foward, and that WITH me knowing the story of Bionicle. I can't imagine how much of this game is just complete gibberish to somebody who didn't know Bionicle first-hand.
Ass, but when it's a commercial in video game form, what's to be expected?

Actually pretty neat! As long as I don't play it too much. Mmm yeahhh stay in those memories babyyy
A perfect storm of cut content mixed with rushing a game out the door to coincide with a movie. I loved this game as a kid, but going back to it as an adult, it truly is terrible. The amount of content that was shown off in trailers and promotional pieces, that are completely missing from the final product, are astronomical. The game is held together by chewing gum and paperclips. The story makes NO sense whatsoever, even to a fan of BIONICLE.
Skip this title. Not even worth the bandwidth to pirate, if that's your thing. It's barely even worth a watch on YouTube, even though the entire game can be completed IN AN HOUR.

I can't rate these versions separately, but know that the PS2 version was alright while the GBA version was an absolute dumpster fire.
I don't care how bad this game is, it was one of the first games I got on my original XBOX and I cherish it to this day.
wish it was better ☹
Shoutouts to Jihkie’s mom
You cannot destroy me, for I am nothing.
I remember this game being really cool, frustrating, and not the greatest. But a good time.
cries in mask
This game was just okay. Kinda janky, and pretty short too. The snow/lavaboarding levels were pretty awful, but the rest were fine. I don't remember much else about the game.
I had this game and my PC could never run it. Probably was a good thing cause it really does not look good.
best game ever
Kinda mediocre but I love Bionicle.
It's barely 2 hours long and yet it's still an absolute chore to get through. Awful combat, boring level design, and half the stages are shitty sliding or minecart levels. Only decent stage was Lewa's, because it was at least a bit more open and the gliding was sorta fun. It also runs at a fairly consistent 60 FPS, so that's something.
Pretty crap overall.

it's just so not-good it's hard to even describe it all. at least i'll never be curious about it again.
bionicle is a game all about the popular Lego brand: bionicle (who'd have guessed).
The game has many issues, and to put it briefly:
the camera controls are a bit wonky (but you could get used to it)
when you save your game, the words "save successful" stay on screen for 5 hours.
The snowboard controls are worse than bears repeating.
Enemies and mini bosses respawn when you backtrack.
Useful cutscenes are skipable, but the useless cutscenes aren't.
I can, however, point out some good in the game like the start of the game is a good introduction (even though my game bugged and got me stuck on the pause menu, so i had to restart the game), but the game isn't as good as it could of been.
(Please note that none of this is meant in malice, and please don't take offence to this opinion).

i remember some trite platforming with the leaf guy. and some frustrating lava surfing levels with tahu nuva(am i right). i had a blast, but my imagination probably did most of the work on this one. the toys were awesome.
Just awful. Probably one of the worst games from a major publisher. Uninspired, lazy, buggy, and extremely boring. On top of that, the game suffers from what I like to call "NES Syndrome." It doesn't teach you anything and just expects you to know all of the mechanics, despite giving no clear direction whatsoever. For me, that's not a dealbreaker, but it very much is frustrating. There was zero actual enjoyment here, just meme. Don't play this, it's not fun.
eh it's funny ig, character designs are pretty sick and it felt like love was put into this game, but alas, rushed mess
Honestly a "so bad it's good" sort of game. The only thing I can say positive about it is the soundtrack. Otherwise, it's clearly a rushed and unfinished mess. There is something fascinating about it in that way.
I remember liking this. Definitely scratched the Bionicle itch I had as a kid. Maybe I should replay it...
kino
I wish we got the Legend of Mata Nui over this diarrhea dumping dieses
It's a true same the game is so basic and uninspired, because aesthetically it's the best fusion this series has ever got, mixing the shiny colourful comics (and its reverence to how the toys are actually built) to the movies' attempts at making the characters more cybernetic and expressive.
The music is another highlight for me, because even if it is not memorable by any means, it was a more honest attempt at fusing epic with the tribal roots of the series (and the more quiet ambiences of the Mata Nui Online game).
It definitely feels like a game made from fans of the source material, but with only two days to put the actual game in lol.

Me and my bionicle obsessed little brother played the crap out of this but could never get passed the lava level where we consistently softlocked ourselves every single time
my favorite game when i was a kid obsessed with bionicle. i remember having some fun with it, and i shall not replay it because it would ruin the memories
The trailers showed stages not in the game, and even the manual made mention of switches not present in the game, and that pissed kid me right the hell off. It clearly wasn't finished before its deadline.
