Play Astérix & Obélix XXL 2: Mission: Wifix Online

Summary

Astérix & Obélix XXL 2: Mission Wifix is essentially a re‑imagined port of the PSP hit Mission Las Vegum, transformed into a side‑scrolling adventure that leans on the DS’s 3D graphics engine. What really sets the DS version apart are the touch‑screen mini‑games – four of them can be launched straight from the main menu, letting you dabble with the stylus even when you’re not in the main platforming run, and two extra challenges pop up when you link up via Wi‑Fi for multiplayer. In two‑player mode the mini‑games become a quick‑fire showdown, with two additional multiplayer‑only puzzles that you can’t find in single‑player. The levels are a love letter to the comic’s globe‑trotting spirit, taking you through whimsically named spots like Little Paris, WCW, LuckSore, Little Venetia, Pirate Island and the grand SeizeUs Palace, each rendered with surprising detail for a handheld. All in all, the DS spin offers a compact, stylus‑friendly twist on the original while keeping the chaotic fun of the series.

Storyline

In Astérix & Obélix XXL 2: Mission: Wifix, several druidic allies are kidnapped by the Romans, and Getafix appears to be complicit. The duo heads to Rome only to discover that Julius Caesar has erected a massive amusement park called Las Vegum – a tongue‑in‑cheek parody of Las Vegas – where the captured druids are held in a human zoo. Getafix even swears loyalty to Caesar, helping him seize three more druids to power his soldiers, while Asterix and Obélix enlist the aid of Roman spy Sam Shieffer, a nod to the *Splinter Cell* hero Sam Fisher.

Las Vegum is split into six themed zones – Lutetia, WCW, LuckSore (a Luxor spoof), Little Venetia (a Venice parody), Pirate Island, and SeizeUs Palace – each populated by Roman enemies that spoof famous video‑game characters such as Mario, Sonic, Rayman, Pac‑Man and Ryu. A mini‑boss appears as centurion Larry Craft, a playful take on Lara Croft. Caesar even references *The Matrix*, calling Asterix “Mr. Anderson” and battling him with identical clones.
