Bionicle Heroes is a pretty good game, the graphics are amazing! The upgrades you can receive at the Shop are pretty cool. I woudn’t recommend getting the Toa’s special abilities right away though, wait until you’ve defeated Vezon, because in almost every level you need Vezon’s special abilities, so you can forget about completing the entire stage in one round. The fighting gets pretty intense once you get to the sub-boss’s lair. The HUD is very nicely laid out, gameplay is relatively easy, once you are familiar with the controls, but make sure to keep a pretty firm hand on the controls, because when you spin too fast through the level it could give you a headache. Gameplay is fun, but beware! You have to finish a level before you can save the game. Otherwise you could lose all the points you have earned and your place in the game.
Overall I give this game 4.5 stars out of 5

Things I learned:
- When you squeeze quartz an electric charge is generated.
- When two different types of metal in contact are heated, a small electric charge is generated. This is called Thermoelectric charge.

Things I learned:
- NEVER PLACE A MAGNET NEAR A VHS OR A CASSETTE TAPE (all data will be erased).
- An object attached to a magnet is momentarily magnetic, however it may retain some magnetic properties.
- Magnetism results from moving electric charges.

Things I learned:
- For every human killed by a shark, about ten million sharks are killed by humans.
- 80% of our planets biomass inhabits either the sea or the ocean.
- More than 70% of victims of a great white shark attack survive.

Things I learned:
- Sometimes a high jumper’s center of mass does not clear the bar.
- When we exert a force on an object we supply it with energy.
- When two objects of the same mass collide, the one that was moving transfers all of its energy to the other object.

Things I learned:
- Every object in the universe has a small degree of gravitational attraction.
- The speed to get into orbit is approximately 17,000 Mph.
- To get into Geosynchronous orbit you must travel approximately 22,000 miles.
- In Geosynchronous orbit you are in sync with the earth’s rotation.

Things I learned:
- Gravity affects all things equally, regardless of mass.
- Buoyancy force is exactly equal to gravity.
- There are 14.7 – 15 pounds of pressure per each square inch of air.
- Ice is 90% denser than water, that is why only a small percentage of an iceberg is visible.
- It would be possible to fly with a board for a wing.

Things I learned:
- Centripetal force is the force pulling an object traveling in a circular motion toward the center.
- The faster one goes in a curved path, the shorter time it takes to move from one part of the curve to another, so the change in motion is greater.
- To explain centripetal force you must find a real physical force.
