v. 1.0
The game is based on the Bionicle toy franchise by Lego. The setting is the island of Mata Nui, a paradise where robots of the Matoran tribe live under the protection of six colorful guardians--Tahu, Kopaka, Pohatu, Onua, Lewa, and Gali Nuva--collectively named the Toa. All of their tropical tranquility is shattered by the arrival of the evil spirit Makuta, who has summoned a swarm of wasplike robots called the Bohrok to devour everything on the island. These creatures are aided by their smarter bug brethren Bohrok-Kal, in addition to corrupted Rahi island creatures, like robotic fish and bulls. Kids presumably understand this stuff better than grown-ups, who are apt to throw their hands up in frustration over all of the Polynesian names. Basically, though, Bionicle is about six good robots fighting bad ones in a slightly surreal take on Hawaii. (GameSpot)
Downloads 1-5 are parts of a zipped archive of the game DVD.
Download #6 is the updater to a universal binary (version 1.1), released in 2008.
Download #7 is a NoDVD for v. 1.0
The DVD seems to install in English, French, German, Italian or Danish.
You need to burn a DVD, and mount it, to play the game without a NoDVD. A mounted disc image is not sufficient.

Comments
--->Not working<---
It works for me, I never upload NoDVD;s without testing that they work first.
EDIT: Ahh...your "not working" comment relates to combining and unzipping the 5 parts. Well, I don't have any suggestions. Unarchiver works for me. BetterZip should work too as that is what I used to split the archive. Dragging the first part onto either application should unzip everything provided the 5 parts are in the one folder or on the Desktop. From a comment below, it looks like Scott Praed was successful in unzipping, so maybe he has some ideas for you.
Not working. Combined 5 pcs into one zip, it won't unzip with Tiger (Error 1), Unarchiver unzipped with a warning about the .toast resource fork of which there shouldn't be one of importance. It mounted but then the installer locks up midway.
I got these downloaded:
part 001 md5=b3b5..cf58
part 002 md5=60fe..9151
part 003 md5=c000..942c
part 004 md5=2dfa..27ca
part 005 md5=16f8..e0bd
Done
Can somebody send up the NoDVD ?
