I still wish I could find this game somewhere, though I know it was only release in Europe. :( Abhi was showing me these things originally on MSN.

Anywhere where I could buy it without ridiculous shipping costs or *ehhmm* download it, since I'm here in the US?

If you don't mind using a torrent Phoenixan, TPB has one up for the pc version of this and ones for the other games in the series (XXL 1 and Asterix at the Olympic Games).

I doubt you'd be able to import it without it being expensive.

Yes that's a plant pot.
In the elevators in SeizeUs Palace, there's paintings of the Rayman roman with a magic wand and pulling a white bunny (not unlike the Rabbids) out of a top hat. It couldn't possibly not be a Rabbids reference. Raving Rabbids wasn't even out at that time but I guess the early info and screenshots were floating around so they decided to slip it in there.

From the French topic:
Raylex wrote:J'ai fait une recherche et je n'ai pas vu de topic dans le genre alors voila. J'ai trouvé Rayman dans le jeu Astérix & Obélix XXL2.
Regardez :

On peut voir Rayman Romain à gauche de l'image.
http://image.jeuxvideo.com/images/pc/a/o/aox2pc026.jpg

Ici on peut voir le logo Arena, ce n'est qu'une supposition mais c'est peut-être Rayman Arena, on peut aussi remarquer que l'arène est circulaire et autour il y a de la lave, on peut supposer que cette arène est une parodie du boss Reflux.

Pour finir, ce niveau ressemble étrangement au Toit du Monde dans Rayman 2.

Voilà je voulais savoir ce que vous en pensez.
There are nice pictures.

Hate to break it to you, but the only parody there is the Rayman Roman. That logo is a parody of Unreal Tournament, nothing to do with Rayman Arena. The arena is not a mockery of the Reflux boss either. It's based on the Roman Coliseum.

I think the only Rayman references are the wall carvings at the start of Venetia, the Rayman Roman enemies, Rayman plant pots at WCW Arena and the painting in SeizeUs Palace elevators (showing Rayman pulling a bunny out of a hat)

I was just quoting Raylex's post, and I agreed with you about the last two screenshots ;)

There is also a parodie in one of the prince of Persia games where you can have Rayman's glowfist. I don't renember what prince of Persia game it was tough.

What's odd is that Rayman Raving Rabbids came out a year after Mission Las Vegum.

Its a roman soldier dressed up as Rayman. In Asterix and Obelix XXL2 you're in an amusement park dedicated to games and some of the enemies are costumed staff members dressed up as Mario, Sonic, Rayman, and Pacman.

EDIT- Upgraded to Hoodlum. Excitement.
