    Simplistic 2D platformer like the old Mega Man games with horizontal shoot 'em up sections that are similarly basic. Decent cartoony graphics but it's old fashioned in a bad way...the Astro Boy game on the GBA is actually much better.

    Astro Boy is simply not where it needs to be. Not too much fun found here and the fun that is found, is so tough to get to, it will alienate its core audience.

    Considering there's nothing else to do in this game besides the single-player, that mode needed to be really good. Unfortunately, what we have instead is a missed opportunity that only frustrates and angers.

    Just avoid it and go see the movie instead.
