  • you have time for an evening or two (roughly 1–6 hours to see it through)

  • you are looking for something to play with friends

What playing Bionicle Heroes is like

Shooters are built around aiming and firing, from first-person corridor blasters and light-gun games to run-and-gun stages and multidirectional arcade shooters.

Tip for newcomers: Retro shooters were designed for CRT TVs and original controllers; light-gun games in particular need special hardware or alternative controls on modern screens.
