If you are a fan of the old NES/SNES Double Dragon games, then you will probably really like this GBA gem.

You are Astro Boy, and the object of the game is very simple, run around and beat everything up.

Of course, you have a few special moves to boot. The interesting thing about this game is that throughout the game, you can increase different aspect of Astro's forte. You get to choose his strenghts, and it's a really cool thing. It makes the game much more interesting than just finding random power-ups here and there. The story that goes along with the game is involved and some what interesting.

The graphics for the game are good, some anime and good backgrounds.

The music for the game is good and catchy.

I highly recommend this game.
