Hi humans and fellow robots, it's me again!

As you know, I'm starring in SEGA® of America's "Astro Boy™" for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system and Game Boy® Advance which have just shipped to retail. We have already shared so much information about the PS2, so let me tell you a little bit about the Game Boy Advance version: “Astro Boy™: Omega Factor.”

First off, I bet you’re wondering what the “Omega Factor” is? It’s my electronic brain, which is most similar to a human heart and the more people I meet, the more it develops. With more than 40 different characters to interact with, it’s constantly growing! While some of these characters are good and some are not, they all have something to teach about justice, compassion, evil and courage – and it’s my job to determine which.

In “Omega Factor,” I’m presented in incredibly detailed 2D fashion with a fast action seven episode side-scrolling story for on-the-go gamers to enjoy. There are also 13 stages of battles with plenty of locations and characters, so there’s no shortage of replay value.

On my quest to help the human and robot races, I’m constantly strengthening my character and abilities. In fact, I am fully loaded with super powers, including x-ray vision, supersonic hearing, finger lasers, an arm cannon, rocket powered feet, an electronic brain and 100,000 horsepower strength. Not only do I pack a variety of powers, but I can jump, punch, kick, throw and jet around! Of course, being pure of heart and dedicated to justice, my biggest concern is reuniting the factions in the most benevolent manner possible.

Your robot friend,

Astro
