 The best GBA game you didn't play... April 30, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
And I almost didn't either until a few years back when seeing it used in my GameStop. The game only cost me $10 but y'know, if I paid attention when this game actually came out, I would have readily payed $30.br /br /This game... I mean, it's Astro Boy, an anime icon, the game though has its own storyline (and character designs) seems closer to the recent 2003 anime the game accompanied. Anyway, back to this game, this wonderful gem of a game... It's gonna be hard not spoiling this wonderful game for you.br /br /Story:br /br /After the game prologue Astro starts his training in Dr. Elephun's lab this is basically just helping you get into the games controls and you'll need it. Right after you'll be swept into Stage 1 and onward through an excellent story full cameos and roles from characters of the Osamu Tezuka universe. br /br /The games story is quite interesting especially a certain turning point where you're lead to believe is the final battle only to learn well... just wow. Very strong message the Astro Boy games are known for and the endings (yes, this alludes to what I said earlier) are real emotion bringers.br /br /Gameplay:br /Like I said, this game is a gem. It's part side scroll beat 'em up, part side scroll shooter, part explorer in one nifty little game. The game has three modes. Easy (I haven't played this), Normal (which is quite hard) and Hard (which is a nightmare). Hard lives up to its title as enemies hit hard and bosses can pretty much 1HKO you if you don't upgrade Astro's health.br /br /And to upgrade Astro's health and everything else is in the title. The Omega factor is quite a unique customize system. To utilize it, Astro needs to meet many different characters who'll all fall into certain places in Astro's judgment (Friend, love, enemy etc) Astro makes these judgments and each confirmation meeting allows you to access Astro's Omega Factor and upgrade his Health, Power, Laser, and Bullet weapons. Some people you meet start as "???" But don't worry, as the game moves along, Astro (and you) will see these people for what they are and the call is made there.br /br /Replay Value:br /It depends on you. I fell in love with this game and all the extra challenges (and lovely story) in the game made me play over and over until hard mode and its insanity made me stop. Try seeing if you can beat Stage 1 to the final areas, the game even times you for it. Good luck.br /br /Astro Boy Omega Factor: One of the best GBA games made that was shunned due to all the hype around other games. It's a shame, but if you can, pick this game up! You'll love it.
ASTRO BOY VEACA!!! May 9, 2007
An excelent game, I recomend this product to everyone that enjoy playing with robots. Even though astro boy don't look like your every day robot, he's more like a little kid with a strange haircut.
Treasure does it again January 4, 2007
Though you'd be pained to actually find their logo somewhere on the game's box, Treasure developed this amazing title - one of the few licensed games to really go above and beyond in the gameplay department. In fact, this is one of the few GAMES period to go above and beyond in the gameplay department. Taking cues from the Konami classic Rocket Knight Adventures, Astro Boy: Omega Factor features great ground- and air-based combat with massive, exciting bosses. Astro Boy saves your progress automatically, which is a good thing. This game is HARD - but never at the expense of fun! You will travel all over the world (even through time) to try and get the humans and robots to cooperate in Omega Factor's charming story.br /br /This game has it all - addictive short-term gameplay, a massive upgrades system that has drastic affects on your abilities, and probably the coolest replay motivator in any platform game ever. Once you finish the game the first time through, you go on a scavenger hunt through time and space to try and correct the damage the twisted villain has committed - each of the levels changes slightly, with some completely new levels and many new boss fights being revealed along the way. Completing this scavenger hunt will grant you access to the final, incredibly difficult area, and finally the game's good ending.br /br /I almost forgot to mention how fun the actual combat is - this is one of the few sidescrolling games ever to even slightly capture the feel of anime combat. A great balance of make believe and real physics mean that you do a lot of your ground combat in the air still - air attacks let you hover for a short amount of time, allowing you to engage any enemy on the screen in any way you choose. A powerful dodge move lets you take on groups of 20 enemies at a time, even if they are as tall as the screen (and they will be!) The game is also tuned for the heavy use of special moves - every 10 or 20 punches charges your power meter, allowing you to do a devastating attack that is not just meant for bosses. Even using your special attacks charges the meter, so the regular gameplay takes on a really addictive, rhythmic quality as you decide who to punch and who to blast.br /br /If you like GBA action games at all, this belongs in your system, along with Gunstar Super Heroes, Warioland 4, Drill Dozer, and Dawn of Sorrow.
great underrated game February 28, 2006

 Awesome but really short November 19, 2005

There is a lot of text in the game, but you can skip through it very quickly if you want too. Amazingly fun and original with beautiful graphics. Cons are it is a very repetitive button masher, and it is wicked short. It took me two hours to beat the game on normal and I'm just an okay gamer. Each level was ridiculously short and flew byin a minute. The boss levels were cool by even the hardest ones were really easy to figure out how to beat. You pretty much only use one button when attacking.
