EA AND LEGO INTERACTIVE TO CO-PUBLISH
NEXT GENERATION VIDEO GAME BASED ON BEST-SELLING LEGO LINE: BIONICLE

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., May 2, 2003 –
Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: ERTS) and LEGO  Interactive today announced that
BIONICLE , a fast-paced action adventure platform title based on one of the LEGO
Company’s most successful play materials of recent years, is under development.
The game is slated to ship in fall 2003 for the PlayStation®2 computer
entertainment system, PC-CD, Xbox™ video game system and Nintendo GameCube™ game
console.

In BIONICLE, players enter the world
of Mata Nui, a paradise island where a shadow has been cast and the six heroes
of destiny, called "Toa," have been chosen for the greatest challenge of all.
Players will have the opportunity to live out the BIONICLE legend by playing the
Toa, helping them evolve into the super Toa, or "Toa Nuva," and eventually find
the seventh Toa.  With the magical elemental powers that the Toa possess,
players must defeat the shadow of darkness brought by a sinister villain, Makuta,
and return Mata Nui to light. In all, from Toa to Toa Nuva, fans of BIONICLE
will be able to play all 13 Toa.

BIONICLE delivers a classic good
versus evil themed gameplay experience with the opportunity to battle opponents
and explore a fascinating 3D world. Players will find themselves in a variety of
gripping adventures such as crossing a molten river, gliding from tree to tree,
and swimming in the deep waters of Lake Naho, all the while mastering a unique
blend of puzzle-solving skills.

As players work to break Makuta’s
spell of darkness, they also will be challenged to rescue scattered islanders
called "Matoran" along the way. The adventure unfolds in six elementally themed
regions of Mata Nui, including high mountains, great lakes, and mighty
volcanoes. Danger lurks around every corner, from battling with Makuta’s foul
minions to the island’s many environmental hazards such as falling rocks,
rainforest winds, and lava spills. Players will also be able to collect special
power-ups to increase their elemental powers as they advance through the game.

BIONICLE is being developed by
Argonaut Games and will be co-published by EA and LEGO Interactive. The PC
version of the game will contain special features that take advantage of the
Intel® Pentium® 4 processor with Hyper-Threading Technology to provide a better
visual experience including high-resolution artwork, sky, lighting, and shadow
and water effects for more realistic graphics in the 3D worlds.
