5781 LEGO BIONICLE : The Legend of Mata Nui LEGO BIONICLE : The Legend of Mata Nui , also advertised under the truncated title LEGO BIONICLE , was a PC title set for release in 2001 , to tie in to the launch of the BIONICLE theme . But then it was cancelled . Story . Six heroes , the Toa , descend from the sky in metal capsules , washing ashore on the island of Mata - Nui . The island is beset by the evil Makuta and his terrible Rahi beasts , so the Toa must set out to find Kanohi masks of power that will enable them to defeat the threat . Each Toa travels through their own region , finding masks and reclaiming lost items belonging to the inhabitants . They also fight elementals , powerful beings that are ( surprise ! ) immune to elemental attacks . Finally , all six heroes meet in the center of the island , and don Gold Masks in order to confront Makuta in his lair . They are victorious , but even as the celebrations begin , an ominous sphere opens its eyes . . . Gameplay . The Legend of Mata Nui is a 3D action - adventure platformer . Combat with Makuta ' s creatures is ranged , with the Toa firing lasers from their tools . Some creatures will spawn infinitely from nests , which must be destroyed to stem the tide . Mask powers are another core element of gameplay , and span a wide range of uses that must be put toward solving puzzles . Mask usage is dependent on an energy meter that drains while a mask is in use . Pickups refill ammo , health , and mask energy . A fourth pickup , in the shape of the Bionicle ying / yang symbol , acts as a collectible that , presumably , unlocks additional material . Cancellation and Search . The game was announced to be cancelled on October 19th . The official statement is reproduced below : ` ` ` The LEGO® Software division has decided it will not release the previously communicated and much anticipated LEGO® BIONICLE™ : The Legend of Mata Nui PC CD - ROM game . The LEGO® Company is committed to producing only the highest quality products for children , and as a result of several issues in development on the title - including chip compatibility and timing - they will not move forward in finishing the game . BIONICLE™ has become an extremely strong property since its launch in June , and the decision to cancel the PC title also reflects our commitment to maintaining the strength , longevity and value of the BIONICLE™ property with only the best in product offerings . LEGO® BIONICLE™ : Quest for the Toa for Game Boy™ Advance has been released and currently is topping video game sales charts in its first few weeks . Future BIONICLE™ software titles are planned - likely for console or hand - held gaming systems . ` ` ` For several years , nothing else was heard on the matter . Then , in 2004 , Mark of the Bionicle fan site Mask of Destiny shared a look at the game provided to him by an anonymous owner of a prototype copy of the game . The anonymous owner , who went by " Deep Brick , " offered a small essay on the game , complete with screencaps of the one level he was able to access ( the first , featuring Onua ) . In 2010 , Deep Brick responded to requests for more by providing the cinematics found in the game ' s files , and began to communicate via Mark with fans on BZPower . Over the course of months , it was established firmly that Deep Brick could find no means to surpass a glitch in the game , where Onua would spontaneously die upon any attempt to pass through a necessary area . In the interest of engineering a way through this , he offered another portion of the game - onua . apk . This contained models related to Onua . Neat ! Deep Brick also recorded a playthrough of the sections of the game he could access . The abrupt and lengthy 2011 downtime of the BZPower forum resulted in radio silence from Deep Brick once again .
