Join Astro, the robotic superhero with a human mind, in a jet-fueled
adventure to reunite the robotic race with humans. Working with Tezuka
Productions and Sony Pictures Television, SEGA's SONICTEAM studio has
faithfully recreated the Astro Boy universe, lending authenticity to
the franchise and paying homage to a classic icon of Japanese anime
that is now a featured series on Cartoon Network. Osamu Tezuka, who is
known as the pioneer of Japanese animation and the "father of manga,"
created Astro Boy in 1952. Since then, Astro Boy has become one of the
most recognized characters in Japanese animation and was the first
Japanese animated television show shown in America. Airing in more than
40 countries and selling more than 80 million comic books and $3
billion in merchandise, the beloved character has amassed a global
following that borders on cult status. In Astro Boy, gamers use Astro's
Rocket Feet, Arm Cannon, 1,000,000-horsepower Strength, X-Ray Vision
and other special abilities to help save Metro City. With each case
solved, Astro's skills develop; preparing him to face off against the
strengths of Atlas, Acheron, the Blue Knight and more!
