O.K., wow, I recently have played this game all the way through because it had been bugging me on the bottom of the bin of games I never play. I bought it a LONG time ago and man, what was I thinking? For its time and being on the GBA, the graphics aren't terrible, but I have seen much more impressive games on the GBA and this one just had a little bit of cartoony style to make up for its bad art. Even that is way generous. The gameplay is just basic platforming with very little flavor. There is the basic move, jump and my favy, attack. But even with those simple moves, I think the original super mario bros. could kill this game easily. There are very few powerups and even when you get them they don't do anything really helpful. The only exciting part is when you reach a boss and thats only twice. Even then, the bosses are litteraly the SAME thing and are not very differant in difficulty. The bosses aren't very fun either, the only good part is lightning in the backround. Your attack is a wimpy little disk, and you never get new weopns or cooler disks. The game is waaaaaaaaaaaay short and ends in about 2 hours if you actually try. As far as unlockibles go, there are pieces of bionicle masks floating about, and even then they only unlock new bionicle characters to play as who are EXACTLY the same except for their color (Why would you want to play this sucky game again with the same character in a diff. color?) This game is old (for a game) and nobody would really buy it. But for those who are Bionicle fans or have this game sitting around I have one thing to say..... DON'T, DON'T, DON'T buy or play this game, save your time and/or money and do something else. I believe even younger audiences would get bored of this game after 10 minutes. I just thought I would wright a review for people like me who just want to know if this is a game was even worth LOOKING at.
