Love Asterix? Be ready to get mad at these developers.
Once I got it (after preordering it), I was very disappointed. The play control is really terrible. It would be barely acceptable on a first-gen N64 game, but this late in the PS2's lifecycle? Come on. Your movements are not always translated immediately to the character, resulting in frustrating falls and annoying Tomb Raider style sequences where you cannot reach the next ledge.
The game really should have been much better, but I couldn't sit through any more horrible play control. After trying to beat the same levels over and over, I decided to put this one on the shelf. As much as I love Asterix, I just can't play it again.
