I’ll make no claims to having watched every episode, but I have watched a very large portion of them. It’s far more clever than people often give it credit for, seeing nothing more than a parade of fart jokes, but not as clever as it sometimes seems to think it is. To put it simply I’ve always had an off-on relationship with the show, often appreciating its satire and madness, and sometimes finding myself unable to laugh. When reviewing any licensed product it’s important to stop and talk about one’s relationship with the source material. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the South Park game to end all South Park games.
Much like those games on paper an RPG doesn’t seem like a natural fit with the South Park name, but to my absolute pleasure it really, really is. We’ve had a South Park based first-person shooter, kart game and even a tower defense title. The South Park license has had a strange history in the world if videogames, managing to feature in no less than five different genres, with this latest effort, South Park: The Stick of Truth, being the sixth. Warning: some strong language is used in this review. This game was provided free of charge by Ubisoft for review purposes.Īuthor’s Note: You can win a Playstation 3 copy of South Park: The Stick of Truth by entering our competition.
