Asterix & Obelix XXL (GameCube)

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. [Atari]

Critic Reviews

60	GameCube Europe While this game undoubtedly has its high points, and running around super punching people generally never becomes tiresome, it does lack the variety required to make you spend hours playing as opposed to a mere fifteen minutes.
51	TotalGames.net Disappointing on almost every level, and a sad return for the heroes from Gaul.
