    overall, its fun and feels like the show. but gets very boring fast. Very short game and leaves nothing to do after beating it. One of those games where its better to rent than to buy it to only trade it in a week later for half its value. there are alot of things that could have been done to keep the game going like multiplayer, being able to recruit other children and wage war with otheroverall, its fun and feels like the show. but gets very boring fast.

    It's packed with the same South Park characters and humor that you love.
    This gem might be the best five minutes of gameplay ever.

    As such, this game is best for those RedBox customers who want to return the game the very next day, as you shouldn't need that much time to explore the entirety of this mini-game's content.

    The game has a lot of flaws.
    Cons
    no story the game nags you on battles the jokes seem to be the same. Example with butters he'll randomly say 'I got ___ behind that' Or i got ____ over there. A huge con is the button mashing, I mean come on i thought this was phased out in late 2010. Another the game is short with no replay value what so ever. Most spells are Useless combat is    The game has a lot of flaws.

    Most spells are Useless combat is pretty fun toward the end but the beginning its way to easy.

    Its just not worth dropping 60$ on a 8-9 hour game...    … Expand

    This will be a good game if they ever get it fixed. Glitchy as hell. Ridiculous and painful button mashing on PS3. Frustrating waste of time at this point. Don't buy this until it gets patched!

    In the end, though, what really carries The Stick of Truth along is its innocence, something that may surprise people who have read the stories about Euro censorship but is unlikely to come as a shock to fans of the show itself, which has always offset its raunchiness with an odd sweetness. This is, simply put, pleasant to play.

    Shameless, hilarious and surprisingly complex - an essential purchase for RPG and show fans. [May 2014, p.64]

    The best South Park game to date (not that that's saying much) and manages to hold up both in terms of RPG mechanics and comedy value. [Issue#242, p.67]
