South Park: The Stick of Truth

South Park: TSOT was my obsession for 2 days straight. The humor begins almost instantly. Think of it as a mix between South Park and Pokemon during the action sequences. You basically will run into the 'enemy' i.e. other fourth graders and when you do it puts you in an organized fighting sequence. This is similar to Pokemon where you find an enemy and then take turns taking swings at each other. That is what you do as far as fighting goes. To be completely honest, it sometimes can get annoying to continually get in these but it is your only means of XP. There will be times where you can utilize the environment to kill or K.O. enemies w/o getting into battle. But the fighting will be funny and cool at first, but it sort of gets stale by the end.

The open world is fairly condense, yet sometimes confusing so be sure to use your map often. What I like about this game and is that it isn't a dull and mindless game. You WILL have to think about obstacles and how to get by them. They are not impossible, but remember if you cannot figure out how to get to something in the outside world, you probably just haven't gotten far enough into the game; be patient! If you do not enjoy stupid humor this game will be mind-numbing to you (i.e. farting, unnecessary sexual content, etc...). I must say that there are some parts that are very 'over the top' to the point that even I was saying, "really? how did they get away with this?" or "really? I seriously have to do this?"... I won't give away anything but there are some really messed up things in the game but... it's South Park so I should've known better. Just be aware that it can get kind of nasty.

All-in-all I would give this game a 9/10 because it really was an enjoyment. If you are a South Park fan this game will definitely be right down your alley. As you rank up, you get new materials, new weapons, and new 'abilities.' These abilities can get confusing since there are so many, and there will be many points in the game where you have to utilize all of them at some point. I think there are too many to be honest, but it may just be because I would use the wrong ability for the wrong circumstance and I got frustrated. If you are an achievement/trophy collector, you most likely will have to do two full-game runthroughs so just be aware. Enjoy!

Just finished this game and it is amazing. I personally think it is better than the other one but they are both still great. I will admit there are some hard parts but you will pass them.

Who knew we would ever see some licensed games that can turn out this great. South Park: The Stick of Truth is probably one of the best licensed games in a while at the time. This is the kind of game that combines fantasy with a series of raunchiness, and I can guarantee that this is an awesome way. This would have genius premise that lives up to the creativity of playing wizards both on the main story and on side missions, really hilarious jokes that's traditional to the show, neat graphics from television for a Roleplaying game, and top notch gameplay that makes it exciting from the events that would happen in the main story. I will say that this game is not for everyone since I know there are people that are offended from what the game would contain considering this is a South Park game. For anyone that isn't offended and understand the show, I highly recommend playing this one. Not only does this game succeed as a Roleplaying game, but also as to present what the show is about. This is one pretend game I would participate in again.

If you are a South Park fan, there is no way you won't love this game.

Even though it was constantly delayed and was released way too late, it was worth the wait. For starters, the game is hilarious. It uses the same humor as the TV show, and had me laughing throughout the entire story.

The storyline was well thought out and very fun to play. The graphics are the exact same as the TV show, so it feels like you are actually in a TV episode.

I absolutely love this game, and would recommend it to all South Park fans.

I'm not sure if I'm the only one that feels like South Park has been stretched way past its limit or maybe I'm just getting old, but I haven't seen a truly funny episode in a very long time. Along comes SOT and makes up for all that. It's hilarious, ballsy and shameless. Perhaps the greatest achievement is that it hardly ever feels like a video game and certainly doesn't look like one. The turn-based battles are a nice throwback to older rpg games while simultaneously feeling fresh and funny (especially when "Princess" Kenny is involved). If you're a South Park fan and have been watching since the start, you absolutely should not miss this experience. My only complaint is the short length. 8 hours is pretty much the extent of it, but besides that, big love to Trey and Matt for giving us the South Park game we deserve. It's about time.
