Mega Bloks Halo Game Was In Development
If you've strolled down a toy aisle over the past few years, you may have noticed some of the Mega Bloks sets based on popular game franchises like Halo and Call of Duty. Lego has successfully made the leap from physical toys to video games, thanks to TT Games' adaptations of the family friendly toys, so putting Mega Bloks' sets through the same process isn't a completely insane idea. As it turns out, a Halo game was in development at one time that sought to do just that.
PtoPOnline has tracked down a prototype of a Mega Bloks Halo game that was being worked on by N-Space. It's not a complete game, but as you can see in the video below, it was fairly far along in development before the game – never officially announced – was canceled.
The game featured familiar weapons, vehicles, and characters from the Halo universe, as seen through the Mega Bloks filter. The most notable shift is the change in perspective from the series' first-person action to a third-person camera. If nothing else, it provides a better look at your Spartan hero.
