    First thing I'm going to say about this game is that if you don't like Southpark, you are probably not going to like this game. It's going to feel like a run of the mill RPG. If you do like Southpark then this game is a friggin GEM! I don't want to spoil a single thing so all I can say really is that this game IS Southpark.

    Amazing game. I love South Park and I think that this game is perfect. Now I'm looking for a similar game because I had a lot of fun playing this... hard times :(

    One of the best RPG's I've ever played! The game completely captures every aspect of the show (animations/graphics/design, characters and story, jokes/humor, etc), and fully immerses you in the world they've WONDERFULLY re-created.

The game completely captures every aspect of the show (animations/graphics/design, characters and story, jokes/humor, etc), and fully immerses you in the world they've WONDERFULLY re-created.

    Combat:
    Combat is excellent, where you (and your partner) and your enemy take turns in striking, biting, and shooting each other. There are some other features which you use in combat, such as Power Points or "PP", which allows you to use special moves that vary according to which class you choose (I will go into more detail about classes later on the review), theirs potions that have different effects and power ups, which can help you in battle.

    Story:
    The story, which is probably the most important thing in a game, especially when it comes to a T.V. Show licensed game, is perfect! Totally immerses you into the game and it's characters; where you have multiple options, each of which can change the outcome of your current situation. You can either charge in head-on, or you can take the stealthy route and sneak by, or you can use the environment around you to make upcoming combat/traps a bit easier to succeed in. The ending: VERY satisfying and funny.

    World/Environment:
    They perfectly capture the essence of South Park, with interactive characters and a beautifully redesigned world, parts which are destructible, and in most cases, hilarious. They even have a little 16-bit re-creation of Canada, which is almost as interactive as South Park itself! With all this, it really makes you feel like your living in your favorite T.V. Show's universe.

    Don't really need to say much more that except, they really couldn't of done it much better. It gave South Park fans the game they deserved! With over 15 hours of gameplay (including side quests) which is average for an open-world RPG, I PROUDLY give this game a 10/10.    … Expand

    Amazing game. I had so much fun playing it. Basically you're the main character in a 16 hour episode with almost every single character from 18 seasons in on it. Very easy to play and fluent. You can tell that they really split hairs preparing it. Haven't encountered a single bug from start to finish. Dialogs very funny, story very exciting, Must play for every South Park fan.

    This game was very enjoyable. This game is relatively short but there are 4 classes to choose from and you can side with Kyle or Cartman. Siding with Kyle/Cartman changes the story but produces the same ending. I beat this game in about 2 days of playing and that counts the side quests. You can start a new save and have even more fun. On the second time playing the jokes still feel freshThis game was very enjoyable. This game is relatively short but there are 4 classes to choose from and you can side with Kyle or Cartman.

I finished this game with about 700 dollars on my character and the best weapons. I bought the best weapon in the game very early on for only 20 dollars and since I was a looter I got all the items I needed. There was no struggle except for a few times where there is no available armor of your level or I forget to get new gear. This game is easy, fun, and humorous. If this game had DLC it would extend the experience.… Expand

    I bought this game late (early 2015), mostly because at first I could not justify spending $60 for a game like this. But that will remain as one of my biggest gaming regrets ever.

But that will remain as one of my biggest gaming regrets ever. As the new kid, you start at the bottom, so you must work your way up the social ladder of their "gang". You explore southpark completing quests to move forward along the story line aswell as do some side quests to obtain new equipment and abilities. The story line is every bit as adventurous and action packed as it is amusing, and hilarious. It's every bit as obnoxious, hilarious, and raunchy as the TV show. The characters you interact with are insanely loveable and I really felt like I was the new kid going on some adventure with the southpark kids. Matt and Trey really put a lot of time into developing the characters for the game as they include all of their "trademarks" and they occasionally will bring up past experiences from the episodes. Every little bit of the southpark town has been recreated to give you a quality RPG game, but its like its one long South Park episode. The dialogue and character interactions are second to none and you know the South Park creators really put a lot of time into detail and quality with their game. Overall, its the most fun I've gotten from a video game in years while having me laugh and chuckle every step of the way of the great adventure they've put you in. I would've easily spent $60 on this .… Expand

    South Park: The Stick of Truth is one of the funniest and most entertaining games I've ever played, based on The Lord of The Rings role playing episodes from the show it's humor is dark and raw, just as the series is and it never disappoints.
    On the other side, the gameplay is superb, being a turn-based combat it's dynamic and stays on the line of what the game is.

The game looks and feels just like playing an episode of south park with all the characters acting and sounding just as they do in the show. The crude, dark, surreal and out right silly humor is ever present though out and nothing ever feels OC about the game. The plot is ridiculous but in a good way, its classic south park right until the end.

    I highly recommend this game to fans and even to people who have never watched the show (although you'll be missing out on a lot running jokes)

    10/10 a must have game for fans of silly ridiculous humor!    … Expand

    As a fan of the show, my expectations of this being a entertaining game was unquestionable. Yet my worries were in regards to this being a quality RPG. Not only does it deliver on both aspects, the experience is just like being thrown right into a South Park movie. Almost every item is an easter egg, show reference or fan service.

Almost every item is an easter egg, show reference or fan service. Side quests are potatoes to this steak dinner and compliment the game perfectly. Combat is turn based, but refreshing, with the inclusion of button prompts to add effects to abilities, summons and attacks.

"Палка истины" в традиционной манере сериала обстёбывает весь жанр RPG в целом, при этом игровой процесс стоит чуть ли не на одной отрубленной ноге и представляет собой японскую jrpg в открытом мире, на сколько себе позволяет мир Южного Парка. Атмосферой франшизы в игре пропитана просто каждая локация, тут нигде не проседает чувство присутствия. Путешествие по Канаде, обезвреживание ядерной бомбы, помощь Иисуса, финал сей комедийной соц-чернухи, - всё это делает "South Park: The Stick of Truth" очень задушевным, атмосферным и качественным продуктом, где стандартные механиками и примитивное исследование окупаются подачей.    … Expand

Не особо люблю JRPG боевку, но здесь она совсем не напрягает и выполнена очень хорошо.Лучшая игровая адаптация мультсериала. Вы фактически проживаете один сезон со своими любимыми героями.

    Traveling around the world of South Park in this game is incredibly fun. This is probably the first game that attracted me so much that I played it about five times to collect all the collections.

    The plot is interesting, the dialogues are funny, the gameplay is awesome. What else is needed?

    I like South Park so I bought the game. To be honest, I don't have high expectation for the game, but I was wrong. Surprisingly, it is one of my favorite RPG games. It feels like watching a long South Park movie and I am cracked all the time.

    I didn't expect anything from this South Park RPG, but The Stick of Truth is one of the best license games ever made. It's as obnoxious as the TV series, as it should be. The script is made with love and the RPG elements fit in to the franchise like a glove. [March 2014]
