Astro Boy

"...everything looks and plays fine, but even if you (somehow, inexplicably) don't beat the game it won't be long until you're looking for something deeper, regardless of all the mini side quests and character card collecting. This is a prime rental if nothing else."

"This forthcoming title puts players in fully 3D, free-roaming, anime sci-fi worlds of manga legend Osamu Tezuka (1928-1989), while incorporating the style of the newer animated series."

"Astro Boy is a worthwhile if unexceptional homage to the rockety-legged robot kid, offering some fun, frantic, and good-natured combat."

"It would have been a more valuable homage to the life's work of Osamu Tezuka had Sonic Team simply created a better game."

"NiGHTS this is not. Don't pretend. Don't buy-in proclaiming your adoration for the character and his origin so long ago. Open up your eyes and pray Osamu Tezuka doesn't come back as a very angry zombie to vengefully slaughter us all. Better still, go buy the GBA version and have yourself some honest to goodness fun."
