ASTRO BOY: THE VIDEO GAME NINTENDO WII

This is a side-scrolling beat 'em up and shoot 'em up combo based on the 2009 3D animated film of the long-running manga and anime character. Astro Boy must save Metro City from President Stone and his robots while battling through levels on the ground and in the air. In addition to combat combo moves, he can fire a laser from his fingertip and use a special attack if the energy meter has enough power. These include an Arm Cannon, Butt Machine Guns, and Absorb (refills some health). Find different bonuses and costumes in hard to reach and hidden areas.

In addition to the single-player mode, there is 2-player co-op multiplayer on Wii and PS2 where the second player controls another Astro Boy with a different costume. In Story Mode, if a person dies, they can later rejoin the game at full health after a certain amount of time. But if both die, then the game is over and must be started again. There is also an Arena mode where both players battle with bots to determine the winner with the most points.
