Good - More than anything, Astro Boy is a great surprise for what many would assume is simply some child's Christmas present. The Astro Boy coating is there so kids ask mommy and daddy to spend their holiday bonuses on it, but High Voltage Software felt nice enough to sneak in a fun game too.

Mediocre - The game has its pluses, and for old and new Astro Boy fans, you could do a lot worse. And for those who just want to experience the unbridled power of shooting hundreds of bullets out the ol' poop shoot, you should know that it's not as fun as it sounds.

Mediocre - Astro Boy just straight up isn't much fun. There is fun to be had, namely in the flying levels, but those are small portions of the game. The majority is a functional, but boring platformer/brawler.

Poor - Astro Boy's grainy and jumbled look is disappointing. On top of all that, it doesn't take much more than an hour or so to complete the entire game on normal difficulty. These things create a game that shoehorns Astro Boy's super abilities into a completely unremarkable experience.
