It seems as if most of the game’s expenses was put toward the visuals, but only to portions of it. The damage and explosive feedback is weak and doesn’t partake of the 360’s exceptional rendering capabilities. The controls are rather awkward – and even less intuitive. Although the game does have bursts of inspiration in the charm of the cut-scenes and quirky humor, it can’t carry the package. The game is quite lengthy, but ‘Hero Mode’ cuts down a lot of time and, ultimately, fun…invulnerability can only make you smile for so long. Ten year olds and fans of the Lego theme can probably appreciate the game, and may even be able to look past the obvious flaws, but newcomers should probably go the way of Star Wars rather than Bionicle. Either way, renting may be your best bet. |
