If you like the Bionicle universe like our son does, this is a rather cool and intriguing game for the NOVICE Wii Player. You're placed into a world where you can walk around, turn, alternate weapons/tools to blast clues left as Bionicle pieces. It took about five minutes to get used to, then you really feel the sensation of running, looking, walking, switching weapons. It's cool. It shows off the hardware ability of the Wii to make it really easy for first-time users to play in a virtual environment.
There are no really fancy graphics. But, it does have creatures that my son built over the past few years since the Bionicle movies came out (1, 2, and 3). What it really underlines is this: how much more fun it is to INTERACT with a game, than to sit passively in front of movie he's seen a dozen times before.
Check it out. It doesn't have the fifty buck price tag of some of the other games. And, it will re-ignite your interest in Bionicles, Legos and, of course, LEGOLAND!
