the graphics are fairly decent but its not long at all I finished in a week and I think the hole story line is messed up the action is poor too.Do reaserch before you buy the game and make sure its what you want.

STAY AWAY!!

I recieved this game along with my GBA as a present. I am 26 years old and have been playing games since "Pong". This game has to be one of the worst games I think I have ever played. I LOVED "Legends of Zelda/Links" and this game falls close the the same game play...but the story line is non-existant and the game play is difficult at times. This game is no for anyone over 12 years old or so...under 12 might find it somewhat fun. I the only good part of the game is the graphics. Buy it used!

This game is ment for little kids. Its attraction for older games is slim. One should buy Advanced Wars instead

Save the $40, buy the real Bionicle toys...

I'm a huge gamer, and a big Lego fan as well. When I heard about the concept for Lego's new line of action figures, I was fascinated. When they hit the store shelves, I didn't hesitate to bring them home and spend hours assembling and redesigning the brilliantly designed, yet affordably priced, toys.

The game is dark. Sure, most GBA titles suffer the same fate of having the passively illuminated screen. But this one takes the prize. Don't get me wrong, the graphics are great, but even with my usual halogen lamp behind me (adjusted so I don't get the glare) I'm still unable to make out many of the details.

Controls are clumsy. Your character takes giant, awkward steps that make it hard to navigate in tight areas. There is also an arbitrary arrangement of seemingly useless bits that you have to walk around. That's fine, that's what games are for, and no one wants a straight line, but the objects make no sense in the game. In the first village, there are what look like little oil spills that you just can't walk over. Houses, trees, rocks; fine. Little dark patches on the ground? No sense.

The second village and subsequent missions will only further illustrate my points... Try to navigate the chain of islands by jumping and slingshotting to them and you will feel my pain. I LOVE a challenging game that tests hand-eye coordination and quick action, but this game only serves to frustrate.

Also imagine my surprise when I get to village #2 and my mission is the same as the first one! Get two crystals, a staff, and a stone. Most games have a running theme, or similar missions, but this one is just the same ones with different (barely) bad guys.

I'm afraid Lego has now suffered the same fate as many, many other game developers: the Time Crunch. They rushed it to market without test playing it. Release date is always more important than release quality. They could have really done something with this title, but they failed.

To be fair, I will play this game through to the end and see if it redeems itself. But I don't have high hopes.

The Bionicle toys are first rate and their newer parts with ball/socket design allow for freedom of movement never before seen with Legos. You can buy all 6 Toa (the 'bigger' figures)for less than the cost of this game. I suggest you do that instead.

bad

this is a bad game. period. however, for little kids that have gba and this is the only game they will ever get, it may be great. but, to experienced gamers who have seen the likes of great games like thps(*for every system but gba), dragon warrior, and even the new advance wars and golden sun, this game just bites.
*see my gba thps2 review

its a little complicated

i dont like it. Whenever you are playing it, and you get stuck behind a tree i could not move and on the rock boss on level 1 pushes me in the wall to kill me. I also cant see the screen because its too dark. And the level with the giant scorpion, i cant figure out what to do.Where do i go?

Zzzzzzzzz...

This is a bore. Why would anyone waste 40-50 on a GBA game like this one?! The object of this game is to retrieve all of the 6 Toa Stones and participate in pathetic mini games. I don't like this game. The last part of the game is impossible. Spend your 40-50 dollars on one of these games below:
Super Mario Advance
Advance Wars
Golden Sun
Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising
Golden Sun: The Lost Age
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

Not too good

This game really wasn't good. The entire game is dark, and you can't see anything. The mini-games are okay, but the story-line is practically non-existant.

this game is BOring!
