  • Summary: The year is 50 BC. Gaul is entirely occupied by the Romans. Well, not entirely? One small village of indomitable Gauls still holds out against the invaders. Among these resolute Gauls are our two heroes: Asterix and Obelix. One day, when Asterix and Obelix are out hunting, Caesar's troops take advantage of their absence and capture the other villagers. Even worse, the invaders also seize the druid, Getafix, along with the magic strength potion he was brewing! Caesar has left nothing to chance. The Gaulish prisoners are triple-locked to carts, each closely guarded by a whole legion of Romans. The carts are taken to the farthest corners of the Roman Empire, and the cauldron of potion is on its way to Rome. When they return to their village, Asterix and Obelix quickly figure out what has happened, and they immediately search for their friends. So begins an adventure of historic proportions.

    Trust me when I say the pummeling action is simply not to be missed; there's really nothing quite like it. [Sept 2004, p.62]

    Adults will move through relatively quickly and may lose interest before the end but the cartoon graphics are so perfect and funny that the kiddies should enjoy it all the way through.

    With graphics and audio that feel at least five years old and a clunky combo system that are all easily ignored, the puzzles and size of the game are what really make up the overall experience. The gameplay is decent, but just barely.

    Just about everything about this game is below par. The script is lame and does little to highlight the characters' personalities or the almost adult-oriented context of the comic book theme.

    If your an Asterix fan you'll love it, I know I do. It is not for the advanced gamer, but most of us are just average and this is a good game that you don't have to worry about turning off if someone younger comes in the room.… Expand

    I am a kind of advanced gamer, and have interest only in serious games, like Half-Life 2 and Bioshock.Anyway, that game shows me that even cartoon-based games can really be amazing and funny.Without of doubt, this game should receive a prize.Serious.It is a king of challenge, there are many puzzles to solve and, of cource, tons of enemy's to defeat.I standed hours in the front of the PS2 playing it, and even now i want to play it again.… Expand
