Bionicle Heroes

Sorry if I make a lot of comparisons with Metroid Prime Hunters in this review but if you've played both, then you'll know why Anyway, about a year ago, Metroid PH came to the DS and proved that the format was almost ideal for FPS games. Quite surprisingly though, only a handful have been made for the DS since, and these have ranged from mediocre to awful. Bionicle Heroes has crept in fairly unannounced and is (excuse the pun) - an unsung hero! Whereas Metroid PH was largely about exploration and investigation, this game is more action-based. Exploration is well rewarded though, which offers good replay value and a nice adventure element Graphically the game is impressive for the format - of course the DS will never be able to provide smooth console visuals but it doesn't feel like a compromise...
