Asterix Mega Madness for the PC is one of the best party games to be released for the platform in a long time. Using the popular characters from the Gaul fighting comic books, Asterix Mega Madness is a collection of mini-games that are played one after another. If you are quick and smart enough you just might be able to beat that elusive top score.
For example the first game puts you in charge of a catapult on the frontlines. You must fire your catapult at three different targets. You must determine the correct angle and distance while avoiding the enemy shots. The time limit is strict, so if you want a good score you will have to fire fast.
Another game is an eating competition. The four of you are sat at a table as food comes streaming down, when it reaches you are presented with joystick movements that you must copy, the quicker the better. To add an element of strategy to the game, certain meals are worth more than others are. You can swipe these off your competitors, but watch out for them pulling the same tricks on you.

The game follows Asterix, Obelix and the faithful Dogmatix as they travel to Greece in aid of their lovesick friend Alafolix. Their journey takes them to the Olympic Games where they find themselves pitted against the athletic might of the Roman Empire. Adventure and hilarity ensue as Asterix and friends compete to get the better of Brutus, his muscle-bound champion, and their long-time nemesis, Julius Caesar himself.
In Asterix at the Olympic Games, players can choose from two playable characters, Asterix and Obelix, and switch between them throughout a series of escapades, including physical challenges and brainy problem-solving. The adventure mode plays out the love story involving Brutus, Lovestorix and the Grecian Princess Irina, whilst the antique mode offers players the chance to compete in over ten disciplines as 12 playable characters, notably a host of our friends from Gaul and athletes from countries of olden times. The more sardonic player could even choose to play as Brutus. There is of course a hearty dose of Roman bashing too. Tutorial videos and excerpts from the feature film appear throughout the game to bring the world of Asterix to life.
