YEEEAAAHHHHH HE DID IT!!! 156 videos and 675 days later, he finally played Bionicle heroes! To all the haters who said it would never happen, you were wrong.
I genuinely have no idea why the music is so good, I have no nostalgia for the bionical series but I have no hesitation to say that is an amazing soundtrack
that intro alone makes this video amazing. I can't believe we can see the day. So happy for the guy and love the clear awareness you have always had for your community.
One thing that always struck me as weird about this game was that _Hewkii_ was the one you needed to switch to to build things, when NUPARU was the engineer in the actual lore! Dude was able to build a robot suit! In a cave! With a box of scraps!
I heard they got sued by native tribes or something.. idk I had some OG bionicle and they were super fun with unique designs and abilities. I loved mixing them together to make a super bionicle 😅
Id like em to come back, but I feel like the last of the movies not being *that* good aswell as taking the story and cranking it to 12 kind of gave Bionicle a less than stellar reputation hence the decrease in sales
@bencekrepuska1735 Basically on Metru Nui, half of the Matoran by 3 elements each in two factions started a civil war. The war meant Mata Nui started dying, resulting in a Team of Toa with one named Jovan amongst them travelling to Voya Nui and using the Mask of Life to save Mata Nui from death. As this was happening, Makuta decided to lock the instigators of the Civil War in a vault of the Onu Metru archives where the Rahi Beasts inside essentially mauled them to death. The war stopped afterwards, but this caused the Matoran to fear Makuta (unaware that he would soon pose as Turaga Dume in part his efforts to overthrow Mata Nui)
@@fosterbennington6405 for me it's having multiple characters that were either dead for a thousand years by this point or on the toa's side appear as bosses that I found enraging.
That guitar sounds so much like tom morello ( rage against the machine/audioslave ) and I'm loving it. It has absolutely no business being that kickass
My brother and I still come back to this game to 100% it every few years. The music goes hard! Another thing I love is the map design. Just about every map in the game starts were the previous map left off, and it really makes it feel like you're traveling through the island. Now a part of that is because the 2nd and 3rd level for each world were originally one before being split in development, but they aren't the only time you see it. The first Avak level ends with the elevator you start the second one on, the Vezok boss fight takes place down a hallway from where you fought Roodaka, ect. It's really cool! Unlike Mata Nui and Metru Nui we were never given much details on the locals of Voya Nui, so things like a dam and logging yard really make the place feel lived in. Would explain how the Piraka power that giant stronghold! The game's one issue: the blatant disregard for the lore, most notable in the enemy selection. The Bohrok were slumbering during the Voya Nui arc and had no nests on the island, the Vahki had all been dismantled 1,000 years prior, and while there were Visorak on the island there were nowhere near the hordes seen here. Nidhiki, Krekka, and Sidorak were all dead. The Rahkshi never worked with the Piraka, nor were any on the island. Roodaka was off doing her own thing at the time, and Axon was a good guy! Brutaka and the Piraka are the only boss fights that make sense. 4:27 well at least that bit's canon ;) 8:51 The blue guy's purpose, believe it or not, is bosses. No matter which weapon you use you will always deal 1 heart of damage to the bosses when their shields go down. Her weapon fires the fastest in the game, so instead of skillfully timing your attacks you can just hold down attack and stare at them and the frame they give you an opening they're hit. The red one's similar. 10:27 Now that you mention it, yeah probably! Even ignoring this non-canon game, in the canon Piraka commercials we also see Thok mess with the cameraman. It was this little spider drone thing if I remember right. 11:57 I remember one time playing this level on one these walls we glitched out and fell off and, like, went out of the map. It was spooky! 15:57 Unironically in the next year of the story Jaller considered unleashing a nuke to kill a bunch of fish people and Gali went through with dropping a nuke on literal Hell-itself.
I had a bionicle set (there were two of them in it), and I built them, was really proud, and thought they were cool enough to bring into our mandatory show & tell when I was 7 years old. Then, my 2nd grade teacher said they were too violent, and took them away, saying I'd get them back at the end of the school year. When that day came, she said she didn't have them anymore. I was ROBBED! June of 2008, an unforgivable, unforgettable crime was committed. 10:20 This was one of the two victims.
This and Transformers Armada were the first video games I remember playing on the ps2; along with Namco Museum, but I liked Bionicle and Transformers. I did also have an Armored Core game, but I lost the disc, so I don’t remember which one it was.
God, this was my first favorite game on the Xbox 360 next to Halo and Gears of War. I remember playing this so much, the in game cutscenes and music lives in my head rent free, especially the Piraka themes as well. Doesn't help I was a major Bionicle nerd at the time and was reading every book I could get my hands on. Also fun fact, the people who made the three Bionicle movies (Mask of Light, Legends of Metru Nui, and Web of Shadows) made a Warhammer 40K movie called Ultramarines with Sir John Hurt in it. Yes, they made a Warhammer movie with John Hurt voicing one of the space marines in it.
@@etiennevandijk1141 Surprisingly, he voiced Chaplain Carnak, one of the surviving Imperial Fists. Though you're right about them sounding the same as three voice actors voiced roughly eight in total (as in one voiced three, one voiced three, and one voiced two hence why they sounded so similar.)
Man bionicles really were. Just the coolest toys growing up. All the fun of lego getting to make whatever you could imagine, mixed with being able to play with action figures. Rip to my big box of bionicles that my dad got rid of when i moved out, hopefully another kid is having a great time with them!
I got so happy when I seen this notification I though "Yeeeah!!" He finally did it congratulations to that commenter the fortitude and patience it took is genuinely inspiring
I remember one of the things that kept my attention the hardest throughout the years was how hard the music went. For a bionicle game it was entirely unexpected, but amazing.
Love Bionicle and love this game. I have it for the PS2. What's fun is the plot and tone of this game does not line up with the Bionicle Legends novels AT ALL - those get dark. I would know, I have all of them up till when the writers hopped planets to Bara Magna and have read them all the way through multiple times.
13:13 So, I knew Kev was Canadian. But I absolutely WASN'T expecting this regional of a joke. Also, I know this was mostly for a joke/very insistent commenter, but like, he knew what was good. I'd love to see you complete this game now.
This is one of my favorite games as a kid. Loved bionicles back then and still like em to this day. Cant believe it took 2 years of 1 guy asking for it daily for you to make a vid in it
This is amazing I'm glad that somebody is playing this old, weird & great non-canon game with banging soundtracks & funny scenes. When times were simpler :D
"And now I, Kevduit, completely unprompted and of my own free will, am going to play Bionicle Heroes. Specifically because it was a big part of my childhood and I wish to relive some nostalgia. That's it, there's no other reason for this video."
When all you got to keep is strong Move along, move along like I know you do And even when your hope is gone Move along, move along just to make it through
Sometimes i like to wonder how interesting it would be to see an alien civilization trying to learn about humanity through video games they'd probably nuke us from space or declare us a war spiecies especially after this one
Hell yea, i love this game, i remember when i grinded it so hard to get 100% in every Level, it was so much fun back in the day, the Golden Hero Mode Music is also my most favorite in Bionicle Heroes.
You unlocked I core memory in my brain. I still remember when I was just a kid not caring or knowing that you can upgrade weapons in this game so I played with no upgrades for like a 2/3 of the game.
One of my favourite games as a kid. I had it for GameCube and remember it was third person also. Great game. Helps that a lot of these Bionicles were in stores at the time this game came out too.
I remember renting this game from my local movie rental place as a kid and never returned it, they shut down a few years later. I played the shit out of this game on my ps2 when I was a kid
Btw, don’t know if you noticed but the first weapons the Toa have are the weapons of the Toa Mata, the second is the one from the Toa Merry and last is their own.

"The ice Bionicle is dead."
Lore accurate.
This is a fabulous pull in your part
Matoro. Gone but never forgotten. Rest in peace ice man.
He died for our sins
“In his final moments, Matoro feels no fear…”
He is not wrong. Does he know?

It really is nuts how many times the soundtrack just pops into my head when doing something completely unrelated. Permanent resisdent now
@@mcmumbles9484 Beg lego to get that thing on Spotify.
Yeah. I remember playing this game about a year ago and the music was bringing back so many memories
the fact that every toa starts with the weapons the toa mata had, and you slowly upgrade them into their weapons was dope af
KEVDUIT HAS DONE IT COAL'S DREAM HAS BEEN FULFILLED
One thing that always struck me as weird about this game was that _Hewkii_ was the one you needed to switch to to build things, when NUPARU was the engineer in the actual lore! Dude was able to build a robot suit! In a cave! With a box of scraps!
Hewkii: "well I'm sorry sir, I'm not NUPARU"
apologies for being a marvelhead, but this is a certified Tony Stark moment
Iron man has nothing on NUPARU.
This unironically makes me sad that Bionicle never saw what heights it could achieve in gaming. Lego games were always rad.
The lore is wild too, they had so much potential
I heard they got sued by native tribes or something.. idk I had some OG bionicle and they were super fun with unique designs and abilities. I loved mixing them together to make a super bionicle 😅
Seeing that 'Tt Games' logo just brought back so many memories...wow
Honestly, despite them being the "Lego Game" guys, I'm surprised to see them having worked on this.
@@NEEDbaconTo be fair, Bionicle is always a LEGO property.
@@somerandomdude7785 Oh I'm aware, it's just this game seems so unlike their other games.
@@NEEDbaconliterally everything about it is just a copy/paste of the Lego game formula but it’s a shooter instead of an adventure game.
I wish Bionicle would make a comeback 😢
Fr I loved playing with bionicle when I was younger
It did for a brief moment got a new series on Netflix and then nothing
It was the bees knees I used to build the ice one and gave him an ice and fire sword. I loved playing with them!
Well, there are those crappy remakes LEGO did. They were a gift of purchase
Id like em to come back, but I feel like the last of the movies not being *that* good aswell as taking the story and cranking it to 12 kind of gave Bionicle a less than stellar reputation hence the decrease in sales
The commenter is secretly kevduit 2.0 and is all a setup to come back to this game
"Turning Bionicle into some crazy genocide...." So um, Kev......you ever hear of the Matoran civil war?
Sorry the what?
@bencekrepuska1735 Basically on Metru Nui, half of the Matoran by 3 elements each in two factions started a civil war.

Such great music this game has. This one when "hero mode" activates sounds is so cool
