Okay I know that Asterix isn't popular here, but... - OB1 - 8th March 2004 ...this game needs to get a stateside release! Just check out these screens from IGN. Most impressive 3D GBA engine I've seen so far. Okay I know that Asterix isn't popular here, but... - A Black Falcon - 8th March 2004 I'm not sure if a single Asterix game has been released in the US... kind of too bad because I like Asterix. We have some of the books and I've read a few more and they're great... Asterix makes me think of Tintin... both are European, both come in similarly-sized books, both are good... I like Tintin more, though. We own almost all of the books (missing a couple I don't think I've ever seen for sale but are on the back of the books so I know they were written...) and I love those... haven't read them recently, but I loved them anyway. :) Okay I know that Asterix isn't popular here, but... - OB1 - 8th March 2004 I don't care about the characters but the game looks fun. Okay I know that Asterix isn't popular here, but... - Great Rumbler - 9th March 2004 Looks kind of cool. So what's it about? Okay I know that Asterix isn't popular here, but... - OB1 - 9th March 2004 Two Viking guys who run around and do silly things. In French. Okay I know that Asterix isn't popular here, but... - Sacred Jellybean - 9th March 2004 Holy crap... that's very impressive for GBA. Okay I know that Asterix isn't popular here, but... - OB1 - 9th March 2004 That's how the Crash GBA games should have looked! Okay I know that Asterix isn't popular here, but... - Great Rumbler - 9th March 2004 That's impressive for a GBA game. Okay I know that Asterix isn't popular here, but... - OB1 - 9th March 2004 Not for a GC game though. Okay I know that Asterix isn't popular here, but... - Great Rumbler - 9th March 2004 No, it wouldn't be. Okay I know that Asterix isn't popular here, but... - OB1 - 9th March 2004 But before DS and PSP screens are released it's the best-looking handheld game. Okay I know that Asterix isn't popular here, but... - A Black Falcon - 9th March 2004 Gauls! Gauls! Not Vikings! Gauls in Roman France. :) Supposedly the last Gaulic village not conquered by the Romans... :) They have potions of invulnerability. In the comics Obelix (the fat one) is pretty much invulnerable... he fell in the kettle as a baby. :D Okay I know that Asterix isn't popular here, but... - OB1 - 9th March 2004 You're a true dork, ABF. And not even the cool kind. :p Okay I know that Asterix isn't popular here, but... - A Black Falcon - 9th March 2004 I don't read many comic books (well not that kind anyway, we do have a lot of collections of newspaper comics but that's different...). As I said we have some Asterix books (and have since I was young... Slovenia maybe?) so of course I know the series... :) Okay I know that Asterix isn't popular here, but... - OB1 - 9th March 2004 You're the king of all dorks! Okay I know that Asterix isn't popular here, but... - A Black Falcon - 9th March 2004 Did you know that in France there's a Asterix theme park, and it's one of the most popular in the country? :) Okay I know that Asterix isn't popular here, but... - alien space marine - 10th March 2004 I Thought that Asterix is from Quebec? I know many of Tin Tin and Asterix comic books were made by french canadians. It isnt exactly historically accurate since there are American indians in europe and they fought the romans in Asterix . Okay I know that Asterix isn't popular here, but... - OB1 - 10th March 2004 You Canadians think that everything French is from over there. Okay I know that Asterix isn't popular here, but... - A Black Falcon - 10th March 2004 Umm there is one Tintin book with American Indians, but that's the one set in (yes!) America... :) Other than that, no. Asterix is French. Tintin is European and all of them were made by the same guy. There aren't multiple Tintin authors, and the guy isn't French-Canadian (Belgian or something maybe? Name is Herge (accent on the second e) I think...)
