No exaggeration, this game is bar none one of the best GBA games I've ever played and one of Treasure's best by far.

They took Astro Boy alongside a chunk of characters from the Tezuka universe and injected Gunstar Heroes & Alien Soldier into it's DNA to craft something that's addictive, fun, and challenging to play. The visuals are clean and the music is great too.

Really my only gripe is the jet dash being a bit finnicky to use, especially since its the only defensive move you got in the game (its pretty much Alien Soldier's dash), but that's more of the GBA lacking buttons, so I can see why Treasure compromised things a bit.

Regardless, Astro Boy Omega Factor slams hard, go play it!
