The game was released in November 2006 by Traveller's Tales on PlayStation 2, Xbox 360, Nintendo GameCube, Microsoft Windows and by Amaze Entertainment on Game Boy Advance, and Nintendo DS, a Nintendo Wii version was later released in April 2007. The game stars Bionicle's 2006 feature characters, the Toa Inika and the Piraka. However, the game also features enemies from previous years. Players must destroy enemies, solve puzzles in order to progress further, and throughout the game, maximize their individual special powers and gain better and deadlier weapons.

Development

Bionicle Heroes began development in late 2005 and lasted approximately twelve months. It was developed at Traveller's Tales by a crew of 20 to 25 people. The game's story is loosely based on the 2006 storyline, but features multiple characters from previous years, such as the Bohrok (2002–03) and Vahki (2004). Instead of rigidly following any year's storyline, as it could possibly restrict creative freedom, the team decided to create an independent story with as many memorable Bionicle characters present as possible. This proved difficult when balanced against fan expectations. The game engine was built upon the engine used in Lego Star Wars: The Video Game. The team faced several problems during development as they wished to create the highest quality possible. In the event, they pushed the chosen platforms "to their limits" and could not include a multiplayer option or the ability to create custom characters. Voice acting was also not included to allow more space for level designs, with it being limited to the opening and closing cutscenes. Giving players the ability to play as all six Toa Inika from the 2006 storyline put some limitations on design, such as being unable to swim. The story was also made to be very simple. One of the ideas was the player being the "hero" and having access to the Inika's powers, rather than playing as a specific characters. The Nintendo DS version of the game did incorporate multiplayer, while the Game Boy Advance version could not support the over-the-shoulder shooter style of the console version and so settled for a 2D overhead perspective. The GBA port was also developed by a different development team. The game was officially announced in May 2006.
