Astro Boy, known as Astro Boy: Tetsuwan Atom (アストロボーイ・鉄腕アトム) in Japan, is a 2004 action game based upon the 2003 anime series Astro Boy. It was developed by United Game Artists[4] before the company was merged with Sonic Team, and was published by Sega. Sega had previously published another Astro Boy game for the Game Boy Advance a year earlier, Astro Boy: Omega Factor.
A soundtrack album was released by Wavemaster in Japan on 7 April 2004, titled Astro Boy: Tetsuwan Atom: Game Soundtrack Score.
