Asterix & Obelix XXL 2: Mission: Las Vegum is an action-adventure game for Windows and PlayStation 2, the sequel to Asterix & Obelix XXL. It was released in June 2006 in Europe. The game stars the French comic book characters Asterix and Obelix, and features spoofs to many classic games, in the same fashion that the comics spoof historical characters and make many cultural references. One such example of this is the box art that has a passing resemblance to the one seen in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. A remake called Asterix & Obelix XXL 2: Mission: Wifix was released for the Nintendo DS and PlayStation Portable in 2006. Story Julius Caesar, in another plan to conquer Gaul, builds a theme park called Las Vegum, a parody of Las Vegas. Getafix swears loyalty to Caesar, and goes to Las Vegum. Asterix and Obelix come to his rescue, with the help of a Roman spy named Sam Shieffer, a reference to Sam Fisher from the Ubisoft Splinter Cell series. Las Vegum is divided in 6 zones: Lutetia, WCW, LuckSore (Luxor), Little Venetia (parody of Venice), Pirate Island, and SeizeUs Palace. Throughout the game, Romans who slightly resemble famous video game heroes Mario (Nintendo), Sonic the Hedgehog (Sega), Rayman (Ubisoft), Pac-Man (Namco) and Ryu (Capcom) appear as frequent enemies, while Lara Croft (Eidos Interactive), here a Roman centurion called Larry Craft, appears as a mini-boss. In addition, Caesar references The Matrix series by calling Asterix "Mr. Anderson". Mission: Wifix Asterix & Obelix XXL 2: Mission Wifix is a remake of Mission Las Vegum for the PlayStation Portable and the Nintendo DS. It revolves around the same plot, with added touch screen minigames and Wi-Fi multiplayer modes. Gameplay The PlayStation Portable game is a 3D platformer. It uses almost all of the same elements as the console version. The player can switch between Asterix and Obelix at any time and almost every room from the console version is recreated with its hundreds of parodies of many video game series. The Nintendo DS game is a 2D platformer where occasionally the player must complete touch-screen mini-games throughout the story which can also be played outside of the main adventure mode. Both versions also contain multiplayer modes, the PlayStation Portable allowing up to four players to play competitive games across a wide selection of arenas where one team works to accomplish an objective while
