According to French newspaper Les Échos , Cryo's Asterix & Obelix game was a commercial hit, with sales of 200,000 units on the PlayStation by December 1999. [1] By April 2000, this number had risen to 300,000 units. [2]
GameGuru stated that "You're suppose to have reflexes to catch some mostly flying objects (like fish or baked pigs) and do something with them like bring them to the first free table. Very simple, and very boring." [3]
Hardcore Gaming 101 said " imagine a whole game completely based on running and fetching objects. That is Astérix & Obélix Take On Caesar. Yes in this game you rarely even meet the Romans at all, you spend your time serving wild boars to village people (not the band, even though these guys dress quite similar) or fetching misteltoes from trees. It's an absolutely baffling choice of gameplay, one that grows old pretty quickly and never starts being fun to begin with." [4]
Asterix or The Adventures of Asterix is a bande dessinée comic book series about a village of indomitable Gaulish warriors who adventure around the world and fight the Roman Republic, with the aid of a magic potion, during the era of Julius Caesar, in an ahistorical telling of the time after the Gallic Wars. The series first appeared in the Franco-Belgian comic magazine Pilote on 29 October 1959. It was written by René Goscinny and illustrated by Albert Uderzo until Goscinny's death in 1977. Uderzo then took over the writing until 2009, when he sold the rights to publishing company Hachette; he died in 2020. In 2013, a new team consisting of Jean-Yves Ferri (script) and Didier Conrad (artwork) took over. As of 2021, 39 volumes have been released, with the most recent released in October 2021.

One such example of this is the box art that has a passing resemblance to the one seen in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
