South Park: The Stick of Truth

[Anubis]

I got this today, really really funny adventure game where you create a custom South Park character (you) and go on loads of crazy adventures. I've played for an hour so far and it's had me laughing quite a bit - loads of references to the series (look in Cartmans wardrobe and you'll find tons of funny stuff you'll remember from the episodes). They don't hold back just like the episodes; really non-pc with tons of comic swearing.

Don't like your enemies? Fart on them. Want to unlock stuff? Collect 'chinpokemon'. Need to get somewhere fast? Timmy! Comes to the rescue. Go look in Cartmans mum' bedroom - you'll find a pink 'toy' on her dressing table amongst other things.

It's on xbox360, PS3 & PC.

It's something a bit different than the usual running around blowing stuff up all the time. I like it a lot and if you like the TV show you'll love this. I've laughed out loud a few times - just don't let kids play it; definitely for adults.

A friend has had the US version for a few days. Brilliant game. Don't want to say anything other than it keeps getting better

[paul99]

I played it for an hour or so last night, great fun so far and I never usually bother with RPG's. Love the attention to detail, if you like the show you will love it

[MarvGTI]

I am so going to get this today, from the reviews it looks hilarious!

I was baffled by how much it looks like a TV episode !

[Blib]

Thanks for the heads up. I love South Park.

[130R]

This game is great, it really does feel like you are walking around South Park

[MarvGTI]

Got it yesterday and played a couple of hours, it is fantatic.

The combat system, though the most basic turn-based system there is, uses hilarious special attacks and an attack booster / block button that you have to press at the right time to give it a certain dynamic.

Graphics are pure South Park, the voice work and music are fantastic, there are too many hidden and not-so-hidden jokes to count around every corner of the world (the faint of heart need not apply, these kids don't mince words or sugarcoat their racism/sexism/arseholism).

Looking forward to putting more hours in tonight and advance the story of Douchebag!

I bought this last night - managed to put about 3 hours on it


I've just been abducted by the aliens - I think the censored screens were probably funnier than what might have been shown


I went for the warrior class (as I figured hitting things with sticks is probably a good way to win)

I haven't seen the censored screens, I have seen what they censor though. Poor, poor Randy I might check out the censor screens on youtube to see what the crack is.

I started out as the Jew.

It was just a picture of (what looked like) michelangelo's david doing a facepalm, with a text description of what would be shown if it wasn't censored.



What's the difference between the classes? I couldn't really see much apart from the initial clothing you get

[The Nur]

Ohhh, ok. I think the class differences is just the attacks that your character has and, as you mentioned, different clothes.

Want! Although based on comments about its length I'm reluctant to spend more than about £20 on it...

[FurballS2000]

It's not a short game by any means, just don't expect it to be like skyrim...

South Park version of Skyrim sounds good

Only played ten minutes so far but my tummy is already aching from the laughing

[MysteryLemon]

I need this game.

Anyone seen any good deals for either the PC or Xbox 360 version? Steam want £39.99 and i'm very reluctant to pay that sort of money...

[FatSumo]

I bought it for 35 from Amazon, xboxlive wanted £50

[MysteryLemon]

Popped by game whilst out today.. They wanted £43 in store even though it says £35 on their website.

I didn't buy it.

[brockovrs]

I picked it up from tesco for about £37 I think...

I managed to finish the story and a fair few of the side quests in about 13/14 hours (I didn't intend to spend all of sat playing it, I just got suckered in!)

It's the most childish, immature & offensive game I've ever played - and I loved every second of it!

[Silverbullet767]

Picked this up in Argos as I had loads of nectar card points to use, so I got it for a tenner

The game is fantastic, so funny, especially the summons! Just too many jokes in it to pick a favourite. The gameplay's not too bad either, reminds me of old final fantasy games.

[Blib]

Just bought a copy from my local CES. £32. I'm looking forward to this.
