GoldenTahu!Lord Trionx, go here to answer your comments.
Um, the game suffered mostly from bugs, not quality issues. And if it had to be scrapped because of that, it would be better to just make your own version. And like I said, it would be using nearly a decade old game engine. In terms of software and hardware advancements, it's like a century old game.

Yes, but JrMMB fixed MNOG, so he could fix this. As to a new game, see the banner in my sig?
And Greg- I never said Lego or you owe us anything, just that giving us permission to have the game would be a good idea in my opinion...
Actually, GT, you pretty much did. These were your words:
"Most Bionicle fans were unhappy about the cancellation of the toyline, and the die-hards are boycotting the new Hero Factory. I just think this would be kind of a "we're sorry, but here's something else to cheer you up" thing."
So you basically positioned the release of the game as us having to somehow apologize to you.
And to an earlier point -- I never heard that the game was cancelled because of bugs. What I have always heard (and I was good friends with the LEGO producer working on the game here at the time) was that the game's quality was not up to LEGO's standards.
Sorry if my post sounded like that, I didn't mean it.

I actually dont buy the thing about the "low quality". It can never be worse than Bionicle: The game. Never. Alone the fact that you play as the Toa Mata on 2001 Mata Nui and can change your masks makes it 30 times better than Bionicle: The game. I think the bugs are that heavy, that it doesnt make much fun to play the game.
He said the opposite of what you said about the bugs, but there was a bit of confusion about that. The important thing is that most people think it would be better than Bionicle: The Game. I don't know whether that is true or not, but half the reason we're trying to get it is because of it's antiquity, even if it's not very good.
GT - The legal dept. already made their decision, so I am not sure what it is you are waiting on. They aren't required to provide justification for their decisions.
GregFI can't speak to BIONICLE: The Game, never played it. At any rate, point is moot because LOMN is not being released.
It wasn't very good other than the graphics. Just a bunch of thrown together action sequences with a confusing version of the 2002-2003 storyline. The Toa couldn't even use their elemental or mask powers, just shoot a little ball of light called their mystical "elemental energy"(which was their only attack by the way).
Keep in mind that would have been made during the very stringent anti-violence era of LEGO, which is probably why you didn't have Tahu shooting fire at someone, etc. In those days, our action games were not known for a lot of action.

Oh, that's why. That reminds me: what was this "Maori law suit" thing I keep hearing about? Did it have anything to do with MNOG? Also, didn't we go through almost the same thing with "the game I won't mention" as with MNOG?
The Maori objected to the use of some of their native terms in BIONICLE. It did not have to do with MNOG, specifically, because it was terms like Tohunga which were also appearing in other places. They never filed a lawsuit to my knowledge -- I believe LEGO met with their representatives and a compromise was reached in which we were allowed to keep using some names, like Turaga, Tahu, etc. and changed other ones, like Jala, Tohunga, etc.

LEAVE GREG FARSHTEY ALONE!!!
I'm sorry, but he's already stated he has nothing to do with LOMN, we've got some good arguments,
But we're telling the wrong person!
While I bet LOMN will eventually be released,
Let's continue this in the 'Legend of Mata Nui Videos' topic, and stop pestering Greg.
He gives most of his free time just to answer your questions, and I firmly believe he deserves some time out.
Sorry if I sounded rude, but it just makes me so ticked off that we're bugging him so much about something that isn't in his department.
