Astro Boy is a PlayStation 2 game created by Sonic Team that is based on the latest animated version to hit television. The game has a tough challenge to overcome. One that game developers have struggled with forever. That challenge would be free range flight in action. It's been tried before. Astro has the ability to fly. So while running around the city, Astro needs to be able to leap into the air and fly across town to that skyscraper and if he so chooses, be able to land on the roof and explore. Astro also tends to fight in the air rather than on land. That's going to double the challenge for Sonic Team. Another aspect will be the camera. Something Sonic Team isn't exactly known for in a good way. Being a licensed game means Sonic Team has little leeway in what they can do. It has to be Astro Boy. Everything has to be just like all the Astro Boy fans are expecting them to be. We'll see if Sonic Team was able to pull it all off...
Next time will cover the play mechanics of Astro Boy.
