Astro Boy: Omega Factor Critic Reviews

Digital Entertainment News

Osamu Tezuka is a man who needs no introduction. This review, however, is in desperate need of one and so you, our dear reader, will have to make due with a short historical perspective on the godfather of Japanese comics and animation. Not only will it...read the complete Astro Boy: Omega Factor review at Digital Entertainment News

Game Informer

Its pure and simple action is a perfect antidote to the poory executed, overblown titles that clog store shelves these days....read the complete Astro Boy: Omega Factor review at Game Informer

Gamecritics

The level designs may lack the intricacy, and consequently the intensity, of the studio's high watermark titles (Ikaruga; Gunstar Heroes) and the constant left-to-right blandness is a possible criticism, but, primarily because of the narrative ingenuity...read the complete Astro Boy: Omega Factor review at Gamecritics

And even though the characters in Astro Boy: Omega Factor come and go so fast it's still hard to ignore just how beautiful Osamu Tezuka's creations really are....read the complete Astro Boy: Omega Factor review at IC-Games

Nintendo Spin

Among the rules of anime -- such as the tear drop on the back of the head and the wind blowing whenever nobody is talking -- any show that runs for more than one season will most likely (and eventually) be turned into a video game. Considering how long...read the complete Astro Boy: Omega Factor review at Nintendo Spin

Quirky, over-the-top, and very Japanese-y, Astro Boy: Omega Factor comes from the publisher of Sonic the Hedgehog and Nights into Dreams and the developer of Ikaruga and Wario World. It's credits like those that sparked my interest in Astro Boy....read the complete Astro Boy: Omega Factor review at GameZone

Portable Review

To tell you the truth, I had never seen anything branded with Astro Boy until a few years ago. Even now, I really know nothing about the series except that it’s a Japanese cartoon starring a robotic, young looking boy called, Astro Boy. That’s my...read the complete Astro Boy: Omega Factor review at Portable Review

All About Games UK

At its basic level, Astro Boy: Omega Factor is a beat 'em up (with additional side-scrolling air-based shooting), but is also more involved in terms of story and gameplay than the beat 'em ups of yore. Not being a fan of the series I have...read the complete Astro Boy: Omega Factor review at All About Games UK

Games First!

While I am not a fan of the Astro Boy anime series, the game makes a lot of references back to the show and its characters. If I was a fan of it as much as I am with say X-Men, then I would have a greater appreciation for how the story is constructed,...read the complete Astro Boy: Omega Factor review at Games First!

There's a lot of repetition in the levels, and the fact that Astro Boy's weaponry is for all intents and purposes unlimited, the game is a bit on the easy side....read the complete Astro Boy: Omega Factor review at Netjak

Jumping is a skill that immediately needs to be mastered. After a single jump, Astro Boy can use his rocket feet to propel him in another direction. During this boost, the player becomes invincible.
