South Park: The Stick of Truth

thWell All know about South Park, You love it or hate it. It just so happens I love it Have done for many years it did not how ever start that way. I saw a episode her a episode there and I did not really get it, the I got older, Started to understand, started to enjoy. South Park fast became a favorite and after many hours of laughter and enjoyment and some half assed, lets make some money games it happened, And boy it was worth the wait.

You start off as your very own south park character which you create when you start, Using the same style as the TV show you enter what is to be a funny, classic, totally out this world typical South Park story that has all your favorites and more.   The game takes place as you have just moved into South Park with your parents, a total outsider your first task, to make some new friends.

It does not take long till you come across the oldies (cartman, Kenny, Butters) you stumble in the middle of what it a war between the humans and the elf’s fighting over the magic power of the stick of truth. You are brought before Cartman where he takes you in on his team to help fight against the elf’s this is where you can choose your class. A Warrior, Mage,Thief or Jew. Each class has there own ability’s but when it comes down to it that is all that’s unique to them. Weapons, Melee and ranged as well as a armor is all the same apart from the few set you get for your class thought natural progression of the game.

You get to team up with one of the guys in a classic turn based RPG, unlocking the reset as you progress thought the game but only being able to have one by your side at once some times is a pain when you are out numbered six to two and with some of the damage I found my self dieing a few times going thought. You are able to switch between the south park crew in and out of battle costing a full round of that character to do so but some times it has to be done.Each member has has there own ability’s like kyle can kick Ike or Cartman can use his language chip to shock People. Apart from that you have no customization over any of you team they have the same weapons and cloths all the way thought the game.

There are side quests to do to make the game longer than what the main story was, some of witch don’t take long to do and some you can complete just by playing the game. These are all given to you by the likes of the major who you need to get rid of all the homeless or Al-Gor who needs you to track down Manbearpig, just some of the classic charterers to be found though out South Park, There are collectables in the forum of CHINPOKO MON, which are hidden though out South Park.

All in all there are some funny bits the parts that are censored are insane its stuff we see in the cartoons so to take it out was an outrages decision. It did feel like some stuff was put there just to make the game feel longer but it never stopped me enjoying it. It could have been better, the map was small and there was not enough enemy’s to fight. But what was there worked and stayed true to the South Park name.

How ever it has no reply value at all so now that I am done with it ( I am just glad I did not pay the full amount for it) Its time to say goodbye and hopefully there will be future South Park games but this time more full of stuff to do and more in depth game play then we will have a what could be a top rated Game.
