Asterix & Obelix XXL 2: Mission Las Vegum is an Action-adventure game for PC and the PlayStation 2, sequel of Asterix & Obelix XXL. It stars the French comic book characters, Asterix and Obelix, and in the style of the comics, that spoofs historical characters and makes a lot of cultural references, features spoofs to many classic games, in addition to the box art that has a passing resemblance to the one seen in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. The game was released in 2005, but only in Europe, since Asterix isn't well-known in the United States and Japan.
A remake has been confirmed for the Nintendo DS and the Sony Playstation Portable: Asterix & Obelix XXL 2: Mission Wifix. The game revolves around the same plot, with added touch screen minigames, and Wi-Fi (Hence the DS' game title).
