In Astro Boy's first game for the Game Boy Advance, Astro needs to both stymie the bad guys and connect with the souls of people he meets. Connecting with souls add to his "Omega Factor," which represents human traits. Every time Astro Boy connects with a person, he becomes more human-like and gets to power up one of his six super powers.
Astro Boy gets around by walking and using his jet-powered legs. He fires on his enemies with an arm canon, finger laser and three special weapons. He also has limited super sight and X-ray vision capabilities. When you meet a new person, you're given a chance to upgrade any of these abilities or upgrade his health meter.
The jet-propelled, side-scrolling action takes Astro Boy to several different locales, and with three levels of difficulty, you control how tough your opponents are. In each stage, Astro Boy can only use his super powers a certain number of times, so choose wisely. You might need to reserve your powers to take on the boss at the end of the level.

Astro Boy (GBA) This is a great game that reminds me of the good old Nintendo games in the 80's.
The music is also good. If you are a fan of Japanese animation from the 70's and 80's, then you will not be disappointed!

Possibly the best game for GBA Playing this game will remind you of the time when playing video games was actually entertaining and addictive. This game has got the playability and fun factor that is equivalent to that of the games being released on PS2 and other high-end systems. I can guarantee that you won't regret getting it at this price!
