Known in Japan as Tetsuwan Atomu, the Treasure-developed GBA game is based off the new Astro Boy cartoon that's currently airing on Japanese television. But even if you're only familiar with Tezuka's original manga or the 1980s show, you should recognize much of what's included. The makers of the game created an original story by putting together bits and pieces from the various episodes of the TV show. It feels somewhat like a collage of all things Astro Boy that's split into seven episodes each consisting of multiple gameplay and story sequences. The game itself takes two forms: side scrolling action and side scrolling shooting.
