Topic: New Astro Boy game?

Hey, I just noticed Astro Boy has been released for Wii as well as DS. Does anyone know anything about it? Can't seem to find any reviews or anything on metacritic and the game isn't even listed for sale on amazon.ca.

I really liked Omega Factor for GBA, so I hope this game is as good, but I'm kind of worried the way this game is flying under the radar that maybe it's just a piece of junk that they don't even care about promoting.

Looks like a mess to me. There are some screen shots there. I know screen shots don't always mean anything, but I'm thinking you may be right.

"but I'm kind of worried the way this game is flying under the radar that maybe it's just a piece of junk that they don't even care about promoting."

The excellent GBA game was developed by Treasure. The other games weren´t. Probably not worth your time and money.

This is a movie tie-in game. What are the odds it's any good? I mean, it COULD be, but it's not terribly likely, now is it?

I'll wait for reviews. i liked Omega Factor, though.

I think the Wii version was developed by High Voltage.

I could not find a review for it and yes its developed by HIgh Voltage. If your wanting some gameplay videos here is a link. I hope the videos are helpful.

Thanks. The gameplay does look quite a bit like Omega Factor, perhaps too similar for the game to be novel.

Yeah, I am pretty worried about it being a movie tie-in. Plus, the movie has pretty average ratings, so what are the chances I'm going to like a game with the same storyline.
