Astro Boy (アストロボーイ・鉄腕アトム Asutoro Bōi: Tetsuwan Atomu, "Astro Boy: Mighty Atom") is a video game based on the 2003 anime television series, produced by Sonic Team. The story deviates from the positive 2003 series with several plot twists like the lack of important characters like Skunk and the lack of backgrounds for characters like Atlas who just appears as a robot bent into destroying all humans and as well changes in several characters personalities like Shadow who just wants to destroy all humans.

The game received mixed reviews. Game Informer's Matt Helgeson gave it a 5.5/10, opining that "The amount of time you have to spend tweaking your viewpoint with the shoulder buttons is ridiculous, an unwanted flashback to early 3D platformers like Gex and Spyro the Dragon." In a second opinion, Matt Miller rated it 6.75/10, praising "incredible special effects and a smorgasbord of boss battles", but stating that it is "unlikely to entrance for more than a weekend".[5]
