To promote the LEGO BIONICLE toyline, a number of Licensed Game adaptations were released during its run. The first BIONICLE game was Quest for the Toa,. Mata Nui Online Game – released on the LEGO Bionicle website, it continues from Tales of the Tohunga and shows Takua going around Mata Nui and helping the villages. It is much beloved by older fans of Bionicle. The game was removed in 2003, and returned as a download in 2006 due to high demand.
NOTE: As explained above this is only relevant to the Game Boy Advance version of the game. Extremely generic title, which makes it very easy to be confused with another game, LEGO Bionicle: Tales of the Tohunga, also known as Quest of the Toa.
Lazy graphics and sprites; the Toa characters are literally recolors of each other. Non-existent and lazy voice acting. There are only 5 sound bytes, and all of the Toa sound exactly the same. Including, who is supposed to be female. Also, sounds like an old man, when this is not the case with the PC/console versions or the movie.
Slow, repetitive, and boring gameplay. Terrible controls.
Unfair difficulty. Becomes extremely repetitive as soon as you unlock the Toa Nuva. When you finally play as Takanuva (Takua’s Toa form), Takua still provides advices to you, which makes no sense whatsoever.
An anti-climactic final boss fight. Makuta doesn’t offer much challenge; his weakpoint is extremely obvious, you can easily avoid all of his attacks, and you can bring him down with only less than 15-20 shots. No save systems, relying on passwords instead. This means that if you lose all of your lives, you are forced to replay the game from the beginning unless you have a password.
