An all new Astro Boy game is now available, which is based on this week's new Astro Boy CG film. D3 Publisher is bringing the game to the Wii, PSP and PS2 (which was developed by High Voltage Software) and to the Nintendo DS (from developer Art Co. Ltd). Astro Boy: The Video Game is based on the events of the new CG movie. As Astro Boy, you'll defend Metro City from an army of robot invaders. At your disposal are weapons like Arm Cannons and, as in the movie, Butt Machine Guns. It's a 2.5D side scrolling action adventure. The voice actors from the movie, Freddie Highmore (Astro Boy) and Kristen Bell (Cora), also contribute to the Astro Boy: The Video Game.

Watch a video trailer featuring gameplay clips and the two voice actors below.

Astro Boy: The Video Game packs in a few surprises as well, including some alternate unlockable Astro Boy costumes and two-player gameplay. If you're a fan of videogames and anime, you should definitely check out the CG movie out this week. It's rated PG and is enjoyable for just about any age, although it may not be suitable for the younger children since some of the imagery and events can be traumatic. If you know the story of Astro Boy, you know what I mean. But the Astro Boy film is worth the watch and Astro Boy: The Video Game will allow the older kids (parents) to play with the younger ones. You can get a sneak peek now since the game is already available.

Visit the official website of Astro Boy: The Video Game at AstroBoytheVideogame.com for more screenshots and a gameplay video. The Astro Boy movie will be released nationwide by Summit Entertainment on October 23rd. Visit the movie website at astroboy-themovie.com.
