Bionicle Heroes

Bionicle Heroes is a shooter game developed by Traveller's Tales on home consoles and Amaze Entertainment for handhelds, released for the Nintendo DS, PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, Game Boy Advance, GameCube, and Wii.

History
Bionicle Heroes is the fifth game in the Bionicle series of games. It was said that the story of the game would be loosely based on that of the 2006 run of toys in the franchise.

The release of the game was overshadowed by the releases of both the PlayStation 2 and the Wii. Despite this, the game received mixed to good reviews. It was heavily criticized for having game-play very similar to the early Lego Star Wars games.

Home Consoles
The console versions were over-the-shoulder in perspective, with characters aiming in third person to attack enemies or objects. Each playable character had special abilities that made certain areas accessible only to them. However, due to only one player character being present on screen at once, the player could then change into their other characters after an area is accessed.

Nintendo DS
The Nintendo DS version of the game was much like the home console version; however, it had a multiplayer mode, and the perspective was in first person, rather than third. The higher number of wanted features presented the DS version of the game with higher review scores than the console version.

Game Boy Advance
Due to hardware limitations of the Game Boy Advance, the GBA version of Bionicle Heroes is played in a top-down perspective, similar in style to that of the games in the Mother franchise. Enemies are fought by shooting at them from any direction. Much like the DS version of the game, the GBA version received higher reviews than the home console versions.
