Bionicle Heroes was a video game developed by Traveller's Tale Ltd. for publisher Eidos. The game was released in 2006 for a variety of platforms, including PlayStation 2, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, Game Cube and PC. A title that is classified as an action game, with a third person perspective, Bionicle Heroes is a continuation of the adventures that were presented in the game Bionicle, launched in 2002, and is based on LEGO intellectual property.
The player can assume the role of various LEGO Bionicle Toa Inika, like Jaller, Matoro, Hahli, Kongu, Hewkii and Nuparu. All the heroes wear Toa Masks of Power, which are basically power-ups the player can get throughout the levels of the game and that will grant his avatar different elemental-based abilities. The levels of the game also feature some Bionicle cannisters that will allow the player the energy required to beat the arch-villain Vezon, who is the 7th Piraka and has somehow managed to steal the Mask of Life.
The main gameplay mechanic is based on shooting fights with alien entities like the Vahki, the Visorak and the Borhok. In a mechanic that was replicated in LEGO Star Wars and LEGO Indiana Jones, you get to collect LEGO pieces from all the enemies that you defeat. If you get enough of these LEGO pieces, you get an invulnerability mode, which you can then use to defeat the final boss more easily.
GAMEPLAY HINTS
Defeating Vezon
After you defeat all the Piraka, you will have to fight Vezon for the last time. First hit him in the back, then in the legs, then in the head. After that you can play as Vezon on all levels.
Easy LEGO pieces
Completely upgrade Toa Nuparu at the Matoran Enclave shop. Collect 500,000 Lego pieces and buy "Bonus Level 1". Go to the Piraka Playground. Go to the other side of the playground. Once there you should find a cave/pathway between the Piraka VIP lounge and the Piraka diving board. Go inside the cave and there are three portals. Go through the first portal on your left. Once you are in, switch to Toa Nuparu and start destroying multiple enemies while collecting Lego pieces. Do this quickly as you have a 112 second time limit. You can get an average of 50,000 to 70,000 pieces every time you try the bonus level.
