  Bionicle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bionicle (often written BIONICLE) is a line of toys made by the Lego Group that is marketed towards those in the 7-16 year-old range.
"Bionicle" is derived from the English words biological and chronicle, although in the past it was sometimes believed that the first half of the word was formed from biomechanical.
The Bionicle storyline is told mainly in the book series and comics, which are written primarily by Greg Farshtey.

In Bionicle, you play as a robotic warrior, and your object is to save the island of Mata Nui from Makuta and his army of insect-like warriors.
Bionicle’s plot is enjoyable, but its save-the-island premise is as old as the hills.
Bionicle’s camera is adequate but not intuitive, as it continually tries to position itself behind you throughout the game.

 Macworld: Review: Bionicle
Bionicle is a third-person platform game, which means there’s a lot of jumping over chasms, moving past obstacles, and brawling with evil creatures.
Bionicle is aimed at the kids who are buying the toys, so experienced gamers probably won’t find much challenge here.
If there’s a Bionicle fan in your house who hasn’t already played this on a console, it may be worth your while.

 IGN: Bionicle: The Game Review
Bionicle starts out simply enough, unfortunately it never really gets complicated -- besides for the odd lingo.
In an effort to appease fans and keep kids interested in the game, Bionicle never settles on one character or gameplay style for any extent of time.
Since they're usually in plain sight and the levels are so brief, searching for guys screaming, "Help me!" doesn't really add any difficulty or enjoyment.

Granted, Bionicle does have its fun moments, and I really like the variety of gameplay—you’re doing something different in each of the eight levels.
Thing is, if you’ve been playing games for at least a few years (and that very well might not be the case with much of this game’s target audience), you’ve played all of these stages before.
Ironically, though, this mechanic makes Bionicle harder—I can’t see your average preteen getting past some of the game’s more challenging, genuinely frustrating moments.
