This sequel keeps the good points of the first game, like the fantastic soundtrack, and improves its formula. The animation is smoother, the graphics are more rich and the gameplay is tighter. I remember seeing commercials all over the magazines, at the time. As I said before, this franchise is incredibly popular here in France, but I also think that the publisher gave magazines tons of money for a great coverage of their game. That being said, Astérix & Obélix is a decent game with a nice Super Game Boy support.
