but in OG you visit some areas multiple times and generally spend more time in them
That, and they were a bit restricted by the movie team. Every level in OG is based on one of the sets of the movie. They built most of that Olympic village somewhere in the Spanish desert (could have been another country, don't quote me on that) for the filming.
Every level except for the underground area right at the end of the game at least
I liked that moment.

Playing now the best Version of olympic games
I replayed this game I lot since it's my favorite out of the 3 ELB Astérix games but yeah, that moment can be really frustrating, even after finishing it multiple times. Tho it's the only climbing segment that's this frustrating imo
The default keyboard controls are utter garbage and annoying to change as well. I try to set up a key for P1 because that's what I play as in Single player, and it's already taken by P2 and I have to set up another key for P2 which is also not used by P1.
PFFFFFFFFFF
So with Adrien's XXL Editor I can just skip to the Brutus battle and I have no helmets. Before I step into the field, there's a Greek offering Twister for all my helmets. I'm like "Okay, I'll say Yes but I have literally nothing, wonder what will happen"... but I actually get Twister!
You mean, I could just ignore Twister in the shop and play through the game with other attacks and not worry much about helmets, because just before the final battle I'll have to get it regardless?
x360ce to the rescue again (but I wouldn't wanna play through the whole game like this)

Og's controller support is the worst of the series, as it accepts properly only Xinput ( Xbox controllers )
It works flawlessly with my Dualshock 3
My generic gamepad's buttons were like this:
A - jump
B - special action (kick)
X - grab
Y - parry
R1 (right bumper) - menu
the rest of the buttons didn't work
Or... maybe I mixed up something, but it was screwed up either way
So it's like an Xbox one?
... Yeah, I did that already, I said it a few messages earlier
The design is something between an XB and a DualShock
I don't really understand controllers that much, I use scptoolkit and I have a fake dualshock 3
