	Astro Boy: Omega Factor for Game Boy Advance Review - Game Boy Advance Astro Boy: Omega Factor Review
		Astro Boy: Omega Factor is one of the greatest GBA games this year.
		Astro's arm cannon is visually impressive and punishing.
		Astro can beat up enemies using his fists, but the many individual waves of enemies within each level encourage the frequent and gratuitous use of his pyrotechnically gorgeous finger laser, arm cannon, and machine gun special attacks.

	Astro Boy - PlayStation 2 Review
		Astro Boy is based on the anime series of the same name.
		Astro does have a simple punch that he can use, but actually lining up next to an enemy, both vertically and horizontally, is a chore at best, and the punch combos typically knock an opponent away, causing the player to go through the alignment process all over again.
		In short, avoid Astro Boy at all costs; even $5 for a rental is too much for a game that is over almost before it has begun and fights you every step of the way between the opening sequence and the end.

	Astro Boy
		Boynton displaces his inability to safeguard his son by equipping the boy robot with finger lasers, jet boots and then in a moment of complete over-compensation a butt laser.
		Right from the start Astro (or disturbingly Toby as his father/creator calls him) is unable to please his primary care giver who is both scared of his power and angered at his inability to complete simple tasks.
		Be warned, the Astro Boy tin has a direct line to ganglia relating to childhood memory causing them to start popping like fireworks.

	Astro Boy > Review
		Having taken control of Astro Boy, you'll step out on a sunny balcony and have your entire field of vision occupied by the futuristic metropolis of Metro City.
		Difficulty aside, it should be said that Astro Boy's epic boss encounters are well executed and make good use of the robot boy's many powers (as well as the integrated Havok physics engine).
		Astro Boy is one of those games that alludes to good gameplay...

	GameSpy: Astro Boy Review
		Astro Boy starts off slow, but I figured, hey, the first hour of the game is probably just a simple tutorial that teaches you how to use the boy robot's arsenal of super powers.
		The enemy robot's patterns and the various ways that Astro Boy can defeat it (punch it, use the flying Spin Attack, chuck cars at it, grab its robotic tentacles and pull) made the game feel like a great old school platformer.
		If you're not fighting a boss, you're flying around Astro Boy's all-too-small world looking to talk to the proper person who will advance the story, which leads to another boss fight.

		Astro Boy is a robot with a soul, based on the dead son of his creator Dr. Tenma.
		The visuals of Astro Boy stay true to its original anime roots with bright colors and saucer-eyed, exaggerated characters.
		Astro Boy is not really offensive, though, and may be appropriate for younger players who may not be able to handle the challenge of a more complex setup.

		Thus, although his creation is a robot who frequently does battle with missiles, tanks, and monsters, he is first and foremost a boy with a good and open heart, and therein lies his true power.
		Despite his creation's popularity, however, Tezuka was dissatisfied with certain differences between the animated version of Astro Boy and his original concept, as the cartoon focused primarily on action and superheroics, elements Tezuka felt were the least important aspects of his story.
		Further adventures follow Astro as he enrolls in school and attempts to break through the anti-robot prejudices of his classmates, falls in love, and continues to walk that tightrope between his function as a piece of ordnance and his real-boy programming -- hardware versus software.

		Sega’s first Astro Boy—a GBA game reviewed last issue—was superb, both in gameplay and in reverence to the original robots-are-your-friends anime.
		This new PS2 Astro Boy, though, is virtually the opposite—it’s short, twiddly, and has little of the trippy, optimistic Astro-ness of the portable version.
		Unlike the stellar GBA Astro Boy, this underdeveloped turd reeks of that foul “quickie cash-in” odor so many licensed games suffer from.
