  Astroboy Sony Play Station 2 Video Game Review by AceGamez
Born as a robot boy with a human soul, Astroboy, or Tobio as he is sometimes known, was activated in the typical mad scientist's lab by some nutbag with a gigantic nose and evidently very little mad scientist training.
Astroboy is a particularly narrative driven title and it does an excellent job of leading you around the players and storylines in the saga in much the same way as any good RPG.
Astroboy's seven powers are particularly useful in these sections and apart from the usual bashi-bashi stuff there are a number of situation specific attacks available to add a little interest.
