Asterix & Obelix: Kick Buttix

"Asterix & Obelix XXL sees the heroes of the title, plus their faithful diminutive companion Dogmatix, on a quest across Europe to rescue the members of their village, who were captured and transported to various locations in the Roman Empire whilst Asterix and Obelix were away."

"Atari innovates again with its adaptation of the Gallic heroes' universe, in which gamers will feel like they have drunk an interactive magic potion," said Atari chairman Bruno Bonnell. "Asterix & Obelix XXL is bound to be a Christmas best seller for new-generation consoles."

"This budget platformer's few interesting ideas are submerged under its litany of half measures and conventionalities."

"Asterix & Obelix: Kick Buttix is a competently done PSone style platformer that is recommended for some hardcore fans of the comic books who desperately need to see their heroes in action or for some younger kids if the price drops low enough. 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."
