Astro Boy: The Video Game for Nintendo DS

Astro Boy: The Video Game adapts the animated film into a family?friendly action adventure where flight, fists and energy blasts share equal billing. Levels blend side?scrolling brawls with rail?shooter flights over Metro City, and simple combos link punches, uppercuts and arm?cannon shots into flashy finishers. The tone is upbeat and colourful, with comic?book silhouettes and a steady stream of enemies that read clearly for younger players.

Upgrades unlock as you collect cores, letting you tune laser output, widen charged shots or lengthen invincibility bursts that turn a tough wave into a triumphant dash. Bosses lean on learnable patterns, and generous checkpoints keep the pace friendly even when a sequence takes a few tries. Between missions, cutscenes hit the beats of Astro’s search for belonging while keeping the focus on playable moments.

This console take sells the fantasy of being a rocket?powered hero without burying the fun under complexity. If your collection needs a breezy, Saturday?morning brawler with clean controls, Astro Boy delivers a bright, accessible ride.
