    Games that make me laugh are rare. This one does that easily. In addition, it replicates the South Park series perfectly. If you like South Park, buy this game now!

    I don't really have words for how good Stick of Truth is. As a huge fan of Fallout and Paper Mario I felt very at home with the combat, customization and exploration. It is not perfect, there are glitches, infrequent frame skipping and difficulty spikes here and there, but nothing that retracts from the total experience.
    The humour is more reminiscent of older South Park episodes,
    I don't really have words for how good Stick of Truth is. As a huge fan of Fallout and Paper Mario I felt very at home with the combat, customization and exploration. It is not perfect, there are glitches, infrequent frame skipping and difficulty spikes here and there, but nothing that retracts from the total experience.
    The humour is more reminiscent of older South Park episodes, complete with a reference to each and every episode whether in loot, cameos or mentioned by characters in passing. Gross-out and shock value is strong here and the entire time you just feel like you are watching a 10 or so hour long episode of South Park, with all the laughs and quality you'd expect from Matt and Trey. Absolutely brilliant and a must-buy for any South Park fan (which let's be honest, is anyone with a sense of humour). . I would, if possible, get an UNCUT version of the game. There are two levels which are greatly affected by the censorship that ruined part of the experience for both myself and the friends I played with in Australia. Abortion and Anal Probing are much less disturbing than some of the things you see in this game and it just seems unfair and unnecessary. That being said, the scenes are available on YouTube and I would suggest watching them in conjunction with the game as you play. Regardless, game's perfect. Get it. 10/10

    I've never played an RPG this funny before. I've never played a JRPG before actually, and this is blowing my mind. It has me laughing every few minutes while also playing quite seriously so I can advance throughout the game because the gameplay is pretty serious. Play on hardcore only.

    Unlike past South Park games, this one is a true winner. Fun, witty, and rude, if this doesn't have you laughing then you are on too much medication. High levels of neat personalization complement a story that will push you to completion without any filler. Highly recommended.

    This PC version has everything. Working controller, even. I played it in big screen on my 46" TV like any console g amer would have done, but on my pc. I enjoyed it. It feels so complete and works without ANY trouble.
    Let's hope for dlc in this masterpiece, to maybe go to nambla, evil twins of another dimension, sexual harrasment panda and a lot of other quests that would be possible. It deserves more than 8.5, enough said. Only critics who're not paid and are probably offended gives it any lower than 8.

    Length is about 13 hours for everything if you go through it normally. It can be longer and shorter all about how you play it. Explore, see south park and enjoy it!

    Only problem is the EU censorship. Luckily I am on PC and the removed scenes were there. I wouldn't have gotten it if anything had been removed, and I expected PG 18 of course.

    This is a very fun, very dirty game based on the series on Comedy Central. The game is straight from the guys who make the show and it's extremely funny. Plus it gets away with a few more things that the T.V. show can't and there's alot to love here. If you don't already like the show, this won't change your mind. It will probably make you hate it even more. But there's alot to love here.This is a very fun, very dirty game based on the series on Comedy Central.

    While the game is really fun it is also very easy. There's very little to grind here and very little in terms of moves. This is a very stripped down RPG and it definitely doesn't have alot of depth to it. It's goes by the way its humor goes and that goes a long way in my book. Other than that, the controls are hit or miss at times. Everything else about this game is fun and exciting and you will have a wonderful time playing it. Definitely a can't miss game IF you like the series at all.

This game was made FOR the fans of the South Park franchise, if you are not a fan of the show, you won't enjoy it and I feel a majority of the complaints come from people who don't actually enjoy South Park that much; which presents an interesting question, if you aren't a fan of the franchise, why are you buying a game that is obviously designed to be a delight for the fans?

    The game, story, characters and writing are all a delight. The turn based combat had me slightly concerned as it's a fairly old way to go about running a RPG, but it works out well by incorporating new, fresh and fair mechanics that allow you to fully enjoy it without ever feeling like it's a full time job to play.

    Another complaint I feel that is entirely invalid is the complaint of the game's length. Many people have voiced complaints about the length of the game - this game isn't about the time spent, but the experience it presents as you play it. People complaining about the game's play time are simply trolls or jerks at best.

    If you are a fan it's an amazing game to play, the perfect amount of time spent playing it and well worth the cost of admission.

    Best use of a movie or tv license EVER. The next best thing is probably Battlefront II, which is 8 years old now. This is one of the funniest and most fun games ever made and manages to make fun of its own genre like none other. If you like south park it is an instant buy. If you like crude humor or JRPS then this is an instant buy for you as well

Not a g** d*** person, that's who. South Park: The Stick of Truth is a hilarious, well staged, game that places you in the body of a new kid that fits perfectly in a near-perfect replica of the South Park Shows design and graphical content level, with a JRPG Style kind of gameplay and combat system, this game takes the cake, or the beefy cakes right into the hall of fame for "Best Game to Be Based off a TV Show or Movie" Considering in the past games that have been generated from this kind of setting usually never peak above a 5.0 rating, this is a extraordinary occurance, Obsidian has done a great job in the RPG World and given us something to hope for if they ever again attempt to make another movie/show to game RPG.
    A few wonky control settings are the only issue, and unless your not used to WASD controls and not being able to pre-program your own controls "Recommendation, just use Pi" then you might have an issue with the game.
    Other than a few other balancing issues which I am sure will get "balanced out" in the near future, this game is sterling perfect, its not full silver glorious wonder, but its damn-near, and that is better than anything I could ever of hoped for.
    $60 is it worth it? Yes & No, but ask yourself, when was the last time you thought, I wonder what being a member of south park would really be like, because brother (or sister) this is as close and perfect a game that you will ever see, capable of doing it.

    Ackwardness Level 9 of 10 (A lot of really F***ed up scenes)

It has the pity, foul and interesting storyline that one would expect from the shows; with every bit of the satirical humor that I anticipated, as well as a surprisingly fun gameplay, inspired by the old-school turn-based RPG’s such as Paper Mario. The game is filled with side quests and humorous dialogue that keeps the player entertained whilst interested in where the story will take you next.

The story is epic in a South Park sense, and it is disgusting, offensive and just plain hilarious. It takes a piss on typical RPG elements, like the abilities are pretty much jokes on typical RPG skills. And it also makes jokes on how silly some RPG elements are in general.

    The graphics are amazing, as it completely captures the essence of the show, it look great but also terrible because of how simple the show is created in the first place. I spent about 15 hours to complete the game, and I did most of the side missions I found, one could argue that it is a bit short for a game. And I do wish it was long, but the 15 hours was awesome, so it was well worth the price in my opinion.

    The game was also almost bug free, which is surprising since it was made by Obsidian entertainment, which is knows for good games, but also very buggy games. But throughout my playtime I had only 2 bugs, one was a minor graphical bug in one cut-scene, and another I lost sound, but it fixed itself by restarting the game.

    The attention to detail in this game is amazing, the amount of references and small touches all over, is just staggering. The fan service is truly great in this game, but can be a bit overwhelming I think, if you are not a fan of the series. Some of the shops and locations has music that is from the show, and other stuff to, like Team America. I just love small details like that in games, as it shows the passion behind the project.

    Lastly I just want to say that this game is a great achievement, as it is one of the best or even THE best licensed game I have ever played. And not only that, in my opinion it is the best thing to have come from South Park so far. Because of this I just can't give this game anything else than a perfect score, as it did something I did not expect. It surpassed my expectations and it even surpassed the source material.

    I'm not a hardcore South Park fan and have maybe seen three episodes in the last five years but I always enjoyed what it was, and that's, a cartoon with great humor that has survived the test of time. This show is on route of the Simpsons in terms of longevity and you either get why or you don't. I get why and the score reflects that.

    The shows producers POURED their heart into this game and you can tell. The graphics are true to the shows style, the sound is taken from the cartoon characters perfectly, the music is a great medieval spin, and despite the fun shallow battles, there is clever strategy involved. You are very involved in the attacks where it can make the fight or end it for you; you don't just tap the button to get through the next attack. Defending is crucial.

    The extras in this game are phenominal and this is complete fanfare. This was made for South Park fans and no cost was spared by the producers getting some of the best in the business to create this. It shows. Thank you gentlemen. I am glad you also told the developers to shut it in regards to releasing the game sooner and just put out what wasn't done yet as DLC. For that, I cannot wait to see what comes out further.

    Bar none, the best cartoon license to videogame game ever created.

    I've just finished the game, and it's the best game I've played in some time. But let's elaborate on that.

    The first and most important thing to know is: if you have never watched the series, or you don't like it, there is not much for you there. sure, it is a very good game, but what glues everything together are the references, the classic jokes, and little details that can make a fan
    I've just finished the game, and it's the best game I've played in some time. But let's elaborate on that.

    The first and most important thing to know is: if you have never watched the series, or you don't like it, there is not much for you there. sure, it is a very good game, but what glues everything together are the references, the classic jokes, and little details that can make a fan laugh out loud. (also, if you haven't watched south park for some time, at least watch the 15 and 16 seasons, as they give plenty of references for you to laugh a little harder).

    Now, for the gameplay. Battles are turn-based, but almost every move you can use requires that you do something, like pressing a button at the correct time, or something like that. And don't be mistaken: you absolutely HAVE to be paying attention or you will most likely fail your attacks. Which is awesome, as it keeps battles more fast-paced.

    Aside from battles, the game has some "adventure" moments, during which you have to solve little puzzles using you powers and objects from the world. These parts are also very cool, and lend a different tone to the game, which is awesome.

    Now, for the plot... what can be said? I just don't know. I hadnt' felt this way since I watched the movie all those years ago, and it's the plot that made me play for 12 hours in a 2-day period, which is A LOT longer that I usually play any game. And 12 ours is without doing everything that can be done, and I'll start playing again tomorrow using another class.

    So there you go. If you love south park, this is for you. Don't think, just play and fall in love with the game.
    If you are neutral towards the series, and haven't really paid any attention to it, just watch seasons 15 and 16 (more if you can) and play it. It's awesome!
    If you don't really like the series, there is really no point on playing, as this is basically a playable episode.

    A very awesome, worth your money episode.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This has to be one of the best games of all time. Its excellent RPG and for the most part makes you feel like your character could be a part of the South Park universe. Its a quality game that is fun and and something different. I cannot wait for some DLC to come out as Ive already beaten the main store and many side quests.

    I find the negative reviews are very curmudgeon like. Yes, you will need to know the series but even if you have a cursory knowledge then you will get a good portion of the inside jokes. Any time I experienced anything even moderately glitchy it has zero impact and lasted for maybe half a second,and maybe happened three times all game.

    In regards to choice and customization, no character ever built by anyone will be the same as someone elses. There are millions of combinations, almost infinite. I dont get the complaints about how if you want to be a thief and act like a Mage as if its an issue, its is your choice. Your a child, in South Park, LARPing, of course you can do as you please. I generally kept my character in the role and didnt have a problem but also experimented with other combinations. This is the worst complaint ever. Disregard any posts which complain about choice.

    There is zero reason not to play the game in my opinion based on the negatives therefore I have to give it a ten because the enjoyment I had playing the game was far and away better

    Whether you pay full price now or wait until it goes on sale you should buy this game and play it. I cannot wait to give more money to play an expansion.

As a hater... hmm; I guess haters gonna hate. Nevertheless the game delivers that fan-dedicated, enjoyable experience and playing it feels like watching another SP episode. Forget about GTA V and its controversy; South Park: The Stick of Truth has the most positive controversy you'll never forget.

    I love South Park, so this review *might* be biased, but I'll try and play Devil's Advocate wherever possible. It'll also be a short, spoiler-free review, for the PC VERSION.

    So, £40/$60? If you're a PC guy, then you know that blockbusters like Hitman or Tomb Raider were only £25, so why is this £40? Because Ubisoft. And this game doesn't have reliability, being a TV to Game, so

    So, £40/$60? If you're a PC guy, then you know that blockbusters like Hitman or Tomb Raider were only £25, so why is this £40? Because Ubisoft. And this game doesn't have reliability, being a TV to Game, so logically, it seems like a cash-in by Matt and Trey.

    If you think this, boy you'll be wrong like I was.

    Not much can be said about this game in a spoiler-free fashion, but if you're like me who's seen every South Park episode over and over, you'll love every bit of reference this game makes.

    There are only two issues I can see:
    1) Some achievements are impossible if you missed something during a story sequence, prompting multiple (4+) playthroughs to achieve certain ones. Some people, like me, would embrace the opportunity to replay the game, but some people don't like this, so if you're an achievement hunter, bare that in mind.
    2) THIS GAME IS FAR TOO EASY. I started playing on Normal difficulty, found it too easy, so I upped it to Hardcore halfway through, and I still only died outside of combat from things like mouse traps or fire. So a patch or a mod that makes the game harder is in order. I got the Hoarder achievement on my first playthrough because I never needed to sell anything!

    Conclusion: £40/$60 is steep for PC, so wait for Lord Gaben to bestow offers upon us, but if you're a console guy (*cough* peasants *cough*) I highly recommend this game.

    Played through the main story line in two days, and I kind of wish that I had spaced it out more, but the time was well spent. The on going story becomes increasingly ridiculous and hilarious, exhilarating and exciting. What a little nine year old can do to save the town, and the stick of truth? I urge you to find out.

    What's better is, everything that I can remember in all of South Park is in this game! All of the notable shops, characters, side gags, you name it. This game captures to sense of the telly programme perfectly, and is honestly worth the initial steep price of forty quid.

I never had as much fun in a turn based combat system as in The Stick of Truth, the attacks and skills are insane.

    Это классная игра с открытым игровым миром. Система боев пошаговая, причем очень большой спектр выбора тактики на бой и разнообразного оружия. Ну к примеру 6 напарников на бой и каждый со своими способностями. Также главному герою дается большой спектр выбора костюмов, оружия перчаток и т.п. Ну скажем так, таких игр еще не было, ето действительно шедевр.
    Фишкой этой игры остается то что она захватывает и ты остаешься в ней на несколько часов именно чтобы отдохнуть. Отдохнуть потому - что эта игра вовсе не напрягает, ее сюжет захватывает и ты просто с интересом проходишь квест за квестом. В то же время ты можешь сменить сложность, хотя задумка самой игры именно для того чтобы раслабится после тяжелего дня.

    South Park: The Stick of Truth is an absolutely brilliant game, for many reasons. Trey Parker and Matt Stone have excellently translated South Park's style into video game format - this game is fun to play, yet at the same time hilarious in every possible way.

    A large number of the characters that have ever appeared in the South Park TV show make an appearance in this game, even if some just appear in loading screens, and the dialogue has been carefully crafted to be absolutely hilarious every step of the way, not just for fans of the original series who might pick up on some of the references - even but for these references the dialogue is still hilarious enough on its own to be enjoyable for just about any player, be they a South park aficionado or someone who has never seen the show - Some of the references went right over my head, but it did not detract from the game's experience whatsoever.

    This probably isn't the sort of game, however, for a hardcore gamer who looks for a deep and rich gaming experience - This may be an RPG, but it takes the piss out of its own genre more than it tries to emulate it, as such it's not the deepest experience gameplay-wise, however in spite of this it is still very much fun to play, because in all honesty it's clearly not supposed to be played as a serious RPG. It's meant to be played as a pisstake of the genre it belongs to, and in that sense it hits the nail right on the head.

    Another thing that makes this game unique is the fact that, in making The Stick of Truth, Trey Parker and Matt Stone have essentially translated the South Park format directly into a video game, art style and all. It truly feels like you are playing out an episode of the series, which makes for a unique and interesting gameplay experience.

    A word of warning however: In achieving the level of comedy that it does, the game is also very, very, VERY politically incorrect. Just like the original TV show, there is probably something in there that will offend everyone, from abortions to Nazis to sex - and if it doesn't offend you, it becomes absolutely hilarious.

    To summarise, South Park: The Stick of Truth is an absolutely brilliant, game. The dialogue between characters will have you aching with laughter, the gameplay is easy but fun, and the fact that it looks almost exactly like an episode of South Park makes it all the better. True, it may not be the deepest RPG experience, or a very politically correct game, but that's because it isn't meant to be. What it is meant to be is a piss-take of the genre it belongs to and an immensely offensive yet side-splittingly hilarious satire- and just like the series it is based off, it does that very, very well.

    Final score: 10/10. Most definitely worth your time and money.

    Humor is wonderful, all the finale of the series are collected in one place. Gameplay is the beginning of a monotonous, but then interesting. On account of graphics and sound and should not s-s-s-stutter. My game 2014!

    This game is hilarious. It takes the show and inserts you right into the action. I really enjoyed the many references. The level up system was fantastic, and it was overall a flawless game. Maybe a little inappropriate though.

    WILL YOU HAVE YOURSELF A TIME IN OBSIDIAN'S NEW SOUTH PARK RPG? READ ON AND FIND OUT from ReviewzNewz! Review#1

    SOUTH PARK: The Stick of Truth (aka TSOT - which is pretty close to Tsst! isn't it?)
    After a long wait from multiple release date delays that were brought about by major producer changes which finally landed it in the laps of Obsidian - South Park: The Stick of truth has finally been released and to the complete elation of true fans and utter dismay of those not worthy, it is clearly above and beyond expectations. The first thing to note is that the game itself is a faithful and true adaptation of South Park in every conceivable way. There is really no differentiating it from a full blown episode itself and aside from the actual combat scenes which look distinctly Paper Mario-esque, if someone were to walk in and see it on your screen they would rightfully assume you were watching an episode. So much effort has been put into this faithful recreation of the South Park mythos that it's almost impossible not to play this without a either laughing out loud constantly and grinning from ear to ear throughout your adventure. It's amazingly well crafted and fan service was given front of the line priority thanks to the show's creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker, who show they are no slouches in the video game department. It's no secret that Trey and Matt are hardcore gamers and fans of RPGs, and that happens to be a great thing. There could be no better way to truly capture the essence of South Park but through a stylized and fleshed out RPG South Park game. First and foremost, this game is for the fans. Plain and simple. Trey and Matt's goal (recorded in many pre-game interviews) was to create a game worthy of the South Park name... and boy have they ever achieved that goal. The gameplay as mentioned before is very similar in gameplay to the Paper Mario series of games (and Trey Parker was even quoted naming this game pre-release of SP:TSOT). This is first of all one of the best mechanics you could possibly implement for this type of game. Many have stated that the game is roughly 12-15 hours of content. Having played the game for days now... I completely disagree with that assessment. I believe that would be accurate if you "fast traveled" (using a hilarious Timmy carriage) everywhere in game, did not explore every nook and cranny, or take time to read all of the hilarious descriptions of items. Even not touching the controller for awhile brings about hilarious dialogue that you won't want to miss (Butters says "Yeah... most people break out their cell phones after hanging around me for a little while") . This isn't just an interactive "season" or "episode" as some reviews have stated, this has an absolute abundance in references to all 17 seasons. You will be hard pressed to find some reference missing if you explore every drawer, and every nook and cranny, and if you consider yourself anything of a South Park enthusiast... you will find this to be well worth your time as every single item and description is hilariously crafted and lovingly and painstakingly recreated. Everything is where it should be and characters react with hilarious dialogue when you encounter something new - true to South Park humor and form. For example, in a ridiculously hilarious scene where you are given a task by the Goth kids in or order to gain their trust, to post a sign that reads **** the conformists" in the middle of a typical South Park town hall meeting. You owe it to yourself to talk to, fart on, and investigate every character and every inch of the inhabitants of this game because when you do... nuggets of pure hilarity ensue. While carrying the sign given to you by the Goth kids, if you speak to Mr. Garrison, perplexed he looks at your sign and says **** the conformists?... Why are they a good lay?". You can even transform the look of your character, and in some areas must to proceed, always to awesome results - and if you've seen the episode "Tom's Rhinoplasty" that's really all I have to say. Yes... the Hoff. There are some very minor and trivial gameplay issues that really and truly aren't worth mentioning... so I won't because at the end of the day, this game is a complete heartfelt love letter to South Park fans everywhere. It is a definitive work of art, one of the best games if ever made if you're truly looking for faithful to source material and absolute stellar comedic value... and truthfully Trey and Matt should be very proud of one sharing with the world one of their greatest accomplishments. This also makes Obsidian look like total badasses. South Park: The Stick of Truth. Have yourself a time... the time of your video gaming life.

    *editorial note - with a reviewer name like "Ready for Hillary" is it any wonder she didn't like this game? Nice try Sheila Brovfloski (proving that Kyle's Mom most certainly is a ****

    Really? What a pathetic game, this is ridiculous. Bigotry and minority jokes are hilarious of course! Good job plaguing society Matt and Trey, this "game" if you can even call it that doesn't even have good gameplay.
    You're betting off spending your $60 on 60 fancy items at a dollar store.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So I was a bit worried going into this considering that it was $60 but then I thought, screw it, I love South Park.

    And that was all well and good for the entire game but that was for ME. I would give this a 10/10 for personal experience and this was easily my favorite turn-based RPG to come out since the original Paper Mario game for the N-64 but I will warn that if you are not a hardcore fan of South Park, you may find this game to be repetitive, disturbing, and possibly your ticket into Hell every time you laugh at a Nazi Zombie fetus in an abortion clinic, or when you have to avoid your dad's balls while you battle underneath your parents having sex, but hey, if you're a fan you will love it. This is the craziest thing that Matt and Trey have done since the SP Movie and Team America in my humble opinion.

    One last thing. CANADA!!!!

    If you like South Park the TV show you're going to love this game. I had a heap of fun wandering round the town and seeing the layout. Best game play I've seen in a turn based RPG, but the fights are a little bit too easy some of the time. This does not take away from the comedy which is absolute gold. BUY THIS GAME!!

    This took me by surprise, I find myself being caught off guard with their hilarious antics and references to the great T.V. series. I even catch myself being engulfed in the story in a way that I would approach other RPG games.

The world is filled with references to the show, and I saw a lot of things that I had forgotten. The audio is the only part of the game I didn't exactly like, and not because its bad, but because I found that walking around the town, there are only 2 or 3 different songs that played the entire time.
    Overall, the game is absolutely amazing, and the only bad thing about it is it's price.
    Here's to hoping there's story DLC soon!
