    Without a doubt this would be a great game for young players and when the kids have gone to bed the older gamers might want to play as well and indulge in a few of those guilty pleasures I mentioned earlier to spice it up a bit.

    Whatever you do, don't purchase Astro Boy. It makes a great rental since you can finish it in a day or two without having a nervous breakdown.

    Like a one million-horsepower sucker punch to the good feelings we've all suddenly developed toward Astro Boy games, however, the second release, Sonic Team's Astro Boy: No Subtitle, turns out to pretty much stink.

    This game is a scar on the face of video gaming! No sense, no coolness; just dorkiness and a strange half-naked little kid who flies around all day. I wonder, was he always a boy?… Expand

    This game sucks a lot. the game play is repetitive and boring and should be in black and white.
