Everyone's favourite comic-book Gaul, Asterix made his return to the mobile scene in Asterix 2008 - also known as Asterix: The Official Mobile Game of the Movie.
For those of you who missed the movie, in this release, you join Asterix, Obelix and Lovestorix in their quest to join the Olympic Games and win the heart of Princess Irina. As with most games that complement movies, it has quite a few good points but also shares some disappointments too.
The graphics are true to the original animated style of the comics (and movie), with the game itself playing out as a mixture of a story and mini-games. Asterix must defeat the Romans who've scattered the registration stone for your three heroes around the village. It's up to you to try and locate these pieces, which is done by helping local villagers with their tasks. By performing these tasks to a sufficient level, you'll be rewarded by a piece of the stone.
The tasks include fishing, which consists of raising and lowering the line so the fish will bite, then reeling them in by pressing the appropriate number on the keypad. Next thing you know, you'll be bounding around the village beating up soldiers and collecting items. Running through the streets and along rooftops is quite a repetitive stretch of the game, which you must go through between chores. Fortunately, should you not be deterred by this, the Games await!
When you actually get to The Olympic Games, you'll alternate between Asterix and Obelix, participating in the events. These events consist of javelin, discus, long jump and sprint. Basically all of the games (except the sprint) rely on your sense of timing, pressing 5 at the right time to stop movement and select angles of throws or jumps.
In the sprinting event, meanwhile, your running is controlled automatically, leaving you free to move left and right to control your run. You have a limited reserve of boost so you must use it wisely. In addition, there are power-ups to collect, in the shape of lightning symbols, which give you more boost but can cost you time when you're veering around the course trying to collect them.
In truth, these games offer some entertainment and will certainly kill a bit of time, but lack any real stiff competition. This means that getting through the stages and winning is pretty easy.
Last but not least is the final event - the chariot race! This is largely the same as the sprint, but provides you with a little more of a challenge, due to the obstacles and power-ups available around the course.
In total then, this game offers quite a few minutes of fun, but is unlikely to provide more experienced players much in the way of a challenge. In fact, a seasoned player can probably complete the whole game within an hour. So, if you're looking for some light entertainment just to kill a few minutes, you might want to download this now.
Please ensure you've read all instructions carefully. Your mobile phone must be Java capable.
