Astro Boy: The Video Game {Giveaway}
Sunday, November 15, 2009 Posted by Jolly Mom
The highly anticipated movie, Astro Boy: The Movie is finally out in theaters and it has been a huge hit among kids and comic book fans! I was recently asked if I would review the brand new game to hit store shelves--Astro Boy: The Video Game for the Wii. It is available for several gaming platforms--the Wii, Playstation 2, and Nintendo DS. Knowing that my nephew, who has seen the movie and loved it, would also love to play the video game, I sent it over to him to test out and tell me his thoughts. At 16, my nephew is probably a bit old to play this game {rated for 10+}, but he said that he enjoyed it--especially the flying combat levels--which he raved about. He also pointed out that he liked how the game did a good job of following the movie and even some of the actors from the movie do voice-overs. His overall thought of the game is that it is probably better suited for younger kids, but he believes that even older die-hard Astro Boy fans will get a kick out of the game.
Synopsis: Become the ultimate young robot hero from Astro Boy: The Movie. Use all his super powers- lasers, arm cannons, super strength, and flight- on the ultimate adventure to save Metro City. Set in futuristic Metro City, Astro Boy is about a young robot with incredible powers created by a brilliant scientist. Powered by positive "blue" energy, Astro Boy is endowed with super strength, unbelievable speed and the ability to fly. Embarking on a thrilling tale of a true hero in search of acceptance, Astro Boy must gain the strength to embrace his destiny, and marshal his awesome super powers to save everything he cares about.
Features:
Want It: Astro Boy: The Video Game can be purchased at various retailers and is available for the Playstation 2, Wii, and Nintendo DS.
