From the team that brought you Lego Star Wars II, comes Bionicle Heroes for the Wii. Now we know what your thinking, a Lego game? What’s so interesting about that? Well, the other versions of it that have been released, specifically the 360, are meant to be quite decent and hopefully the Wii version carries this trait on. Eidos Interactive says that “The [Wii’s] unique control mechanic will provide a completely new gameplay experience and will immerse the player even further into the world of Bionicle". Of course we will reserve final judgment till we actually play it, But things look to be in good hands. Press Release Inside.

Eidos Interactive, one of the world’s leading publishers and developers of entertainment software, and TT Games, the makers of the BAFTA Award winning LEGO® Star Wars™ series, today confirms its first LEGO adventure to arrive on the Nintendo Wii™ console: BIONICLE® HEROES, will be released this Easter 2007.
