You need 10 hours to complete the main story. 10 more hours for side-quests. But if you want to get every achievement available you need to play it again a couple of times. So this make an excellent replay value. So in all, if you need a good video game, get this one. You won't be disappointed. Also a serious contender for my GOTY.… Expand

    Pros:
    Funny
    Lots of South Park in-gags
    Decent Story

    Cons:
    Short, ~10-20 hours of quests
    Repetitive Combat
    Party size caps at 2

    Thoughts:
    It was worth playing, but not worth the full price.

    Pretty decent.

    There are some issues with the interface, which is clunky and annoying at times. The game over screen is a bit abrupt too, which is only a cosmetic issue in itself, but gives me the suggestion that a little effort was lacking in some elements of the game.

    As far as gameplay goes, though, this is great fun. The story is amusing and self-referential, as you'd expect from the TV show. The animation, voices and presentation are exactly as you expect too. As has been said a billion times before, this feels just like a South Park film in which you have a starring role.

    Making its standard stabs at political and social concerns of modern America, with early side-missions including the beating up of the homeless that you see, so that they leave South Park and restore the town's standing as a "compassionate town". Another early scene has you escaping from an alien space craft, with European copies inexplicably censored when it comes to anal probes - but this censorship is amusingly presented, and again manages to be self-referential.

    The town of South Park is easy to traverse (you will likely hold down B to run at all times) and there are unlockable bus stops - Timmy will take you between any two unlocked stops to cut walking time.

    The fighting is your standard turn-based RPG style, but with a twist. You can use abilities (healing, curing, mana restoration) at the start of each character's turn, then you can attack. Attacking is similar in some ways to Mario's RPG series, with time button presses adding extra damage. The weapons are often humorous, with such SP-based charms as adding a tuft of ginger pubes to your weapon to gross out an enemy and cause further damage over time.

    All in all this game understands what it wants to be, and more importantly understands what it is. And it presents itself with aplomb.    … Expand

    The game is, in general, really funny and not too reliant on your familiarity of the show either. The look of the game is SPOT ON with the show in kind of an amazing way. South Park fans who get all the references and in-jokes should definitely play this game because they will get the most enjoyment out of it, but as an Obsidian fan I'm loving how well-crafted everything is in the game. I hope this does well for them sales wise, because it will lead to more awesome RPGs from one of the best developers in the business. Bravo to Ubisoft for picking up this game in the wake of THQ's fallout and giving it the time it needed to be really good.    … Expand

    I am a real lover of open world RPG games and so this game attracted my attention for all the wrong reasons. After all HOW could a South park RPG be anywhere near a good game? This game however is pure genius. You really MUST get a hold of this game. Shame that the game has been censored in Europe!!!!

    The battle system is streamlined, yet still engaging--this is a balance that a lot of RPGs actually struggle with. The story is goofy as you would expect, but hilarious if South Park is your type of humor. There are tons of references, items, etc. that really draw you into the world of South Park. The countless items in other RPGs also exist in this game, except here, there are references and jokes in with even junk items that will just be sold later.

    Some of the mechanics can be confusing at times, but once you get used to it, everything flows very well. There is a lot to do outside of the main story of the game, so fans of the show and completionists will have a good amount of ground to cover.

    Overall, I think this is a great RPG lite game that delivers the humor you've come to expect from South Park.    … Expand

I think it is important to list that as a frame of reference for my opinions of the game.

    The Good:
    The game has some fantastic elements. Many RPGs fall into a rut where it is just the same thing over and over. This game incorporated a lot of elements which are not commonly found in RPGs though. There were button sequences involved much like DDR or the 1980's handheld game Simon. An entire zone of the game is mocked up much like the original NES classic Dragon Warrior. The dialog is true to what South Park fans would expect. Gaining new abilities allows you to explore previously unreachable areas which is also nice.

    The Bad:
    The game itself is quite short. Most gamers could complete the game in a single weekend. There is no purpose at all to the "junk" items whereas many other games would have a crafting system in place to turn junk into new weapons or armor. Some armor items are unable to be dyed which is unfortunate. There is no new-game plus feature which again is unfortunate as there are several achievements which either require playing the game a certain way and there are also some elements which will only be completable during a very brief window of opportunity. If you miss these brief opportunities in the final chapters of the game, guess what, if you are a 100% completionist, you are playing the entire game over again. Also the tutorials teaching you how to use magic are simply awful. The stick movements depicted are not at all in line with what you actually need to do. There also do not appear to be any super-bosses which are found in many RPG games. This is doubly disappointing as the game is short, and Mecha Streisand simply lends itself to that so well. Most of the houses you explore also have the exact same blueprint which gets a bit tedious. Also, as much of the enjoyment of the game comes from the humor the game loses a lot of replay value as you have already heard the same jokes once before. Also had a few audio glitches occur but reloading a save or exiting the game seems to clear them up. I also found much of the NPC background dialog to be misleading. Some NPCs will give you tips on how to complete certain aspects, however there is no point to this as you will not be able to complete these tasks until they become essential to the story progression.

    Final Recommendation
    If you are not a South Park fan there is a good chance you will be horribly offended by this game. If you are a South Park fan you may enjoy the game, but I would recommend waiting 2-3 months and grabbing at Gamestop for $20. The game as a whole is really underwhelming at the current $60 asking price. No multiplayer, no new-game plus, no end game content (aside from collectibles), short overall campaign. .    … Expand

There is plenty to like about this game if your a fan of the show: lots of references, feels like your playing the show, same voice actors. It really is a good time. The biggest plus is defiantly being able to walk through South Park, go into its buildings and interact with the people in the quiet, little, white breed, redneck mountain town. The RPG elements are simplistic and easy to understand and get used to, and the combat isn't all that exciting, but not uninteresting. (being able to flip through companion characters anytime was a nice touch).

    Some problems with the game: First of all I don't see myself replaying the game, and after finishing it there's no need to stick around (except to collect weapons, armor, and chimpokemon [for thouse achievement hunters]). There defiantly aren't enough side quests, and the map is relatively small (I was tricked into thinking that their would be more to it since the paths out of the city are blocked, but after you can bypass it there is nowhere to go but back to the city or to Canada (which is a small retro RPG style). Also the game was not as funny as I was expecting, but I did laugh every now and then, but not as much as I thought I would be.

    The end result is that I found it hard to put my controller down, as I wanted to keep advancing through the games story and get to meet the characters of South Park. Bottom line is if you are a fan of the show, you will oversee the few minor short-coming of this game because of the atmosphere that you are invested in.    … Expand

    It's pretty incredible how well south park has been adapted into a open world RPG. However, while the humor, atmoshepere and nostalgia are top notch, the actuall gameplay is really sparse and rough around the edges.

    Good: -looks just like the show -sounds just like the show -massive list of characters from the show to meet -references to countless episodes all over the place,    It's pretty incredible how well south park has been adapted into a open world RPG.

    Good:
    -looks just like the show
    -sounds just like the show
    -massive list of characters from the show to meet
    -references to countless episodes all over the place, turning what would traditionally be mundane things into easy laughs and nostalgia trips
    -assuming you enjoy the shows humor,(why else play the game?) this game is absolutely outrageous and funny. It's unbelievable what they have gotten away with in this game. It's likely you will never see another M rated game this crazy. It was a blast.
    -super immersive and addicting
    -easy to play and understand. It's an RPG for fans of the show that don't like RPGs

    Bad-
    -too easy to play and understand. If you are a hardcore gamer who knows a thing or two about RPGs, this game just seems to sell itself short.
    -super short for an RPG. Only about 10-15 hours long. Thats not enough time to let a game breathe. The game has a lot of things you'd want in an RPG to give it depth, but since it all moves so fast, the gameplay elements are never fully explored. They feel more gimmicky than anything. Many of the new abilities, farts, and weapon/armor sets are only useful a couple times, or for a couple minutes.
    -the game just needs more...fast travel is often a necessity in an RPG, but in south park, it works against you to an extent. It IS nice to go where you want instantly, but this makes this short game even shorter. It would've been excellent if the game had more going on to encourage and reward you for running around besides change for bashing scenery and enemies to fight...
    -battles are very unbalanced, and unfullfilling. Combat is either extremely easy if you nail the timing button presses, or brutal if you miss them. The game doesn't really challenge your comprehension of the battle system by giving you finely tuned battles that you normally see in a traditional turn based RPG. You will likely reach the level cap before you reach the end of the game if you do most of the side quests, making the subsequent battles feel even less rewarding. Great RPGs leave room at the end.
    -no real reason to replay/keep playing post game. The game feels very story driven, while it is extremely enjoyable, when it's over, the game world isn't exciting at all and replaying the game is probably less fun than a rerun. There are some achievements that could motivate you to play again, like a "choose this" one time, and "choose that" another time. But really those decisions don't mean anything in the game, so who cares. This is where interesting decisions make a game better, or some kind of multiplayer, or even a new game+ mode. A short game can actually work great with features that make it repayable, but this is just the same short game over and over.
    -frame rate stutters/little bugs. It's a small gripe, but it's pervades the whole experience.
    -the farting tutorials are kind of hard to understand and poorly explained. Then, once you learn it, you never have to try as hard to pull that fart off again, thankfully. Though it begs the question, was all that crap necessary to begin with? If I am to really feel the effort to fart, why not every time?
    -no towlie :(. Towlie only appears in a loading screen. There are very few characters that aren't in the game that I felt I would've wanted to see, but towlie...is just too awesome to not be in there somewhere. I like towlie.

    As a fan of the show, the whole experience was really enjoyable, I didn't want to turn the game off. The humor, and interestingly wild plot are things you just never see in a video game. South park's writing and humor made it really easy to not care about the game mediocrities. Once it's over though, I just wished there was so much more, the town felt small by the end. noticably flawed, yet supremely enjoyable.

    I'm sure it's next to impossible to deliver a game like this that reaches all expectations. Maybe if we're lucky, they'll make a sequel someday.    … Expand

If I could find any fault whatsoever with this game, it is that it feels too short a game (it took me 7 hours for the first playthrough, and 9 hours for the second playthrough).

    There is a reason almost everyone says the game is just like playing an episode. The animation is spot on for the show, the voices are all there, and unless you live under a rock you know that both Trey Parker and Matt Stone wrote the story & dialogue.

    Combat is turn based, easy to pick up but still rewarding to play. The major challenge comes in the form of well placed button presses that can come in multiple forms and involve even the analogue sticks. Making sure you have the best weapon and armor and "Strap-ons and Patches" respectively. *Read socketables/gems/materia* for every situation will satisfy just about every OCD RPG list addict without making the menu system clunky or tedious. The ability to customize your looks in the form of both facial and head hair, accessories and makeup/features are also great, but even better is that all hair, and almost all armor can be dyed via a large pallet of colors. Its a shallow pool at first, but you find more dyes as the game goes on, and they never run out.

    There are a a myriad of collectibles and EVERYTHING is really one big ass SP easteregg. There are nods to other games as well, such as being called a dragonborn for farting, and bottle caps that look a lot like Nuka Cola caps.

    The entire SP cast in included save for some dead members, but even they get crammed into the game in different ways, I wont spoil it for you. The music in the game is fairly good, from musical numbers that are a staple in any medieval style RPG, to original songs from the show. Even loading a save treats you to the "returning from commercial break" guitar jingle from the show.

    The humor is everything you have come to expect from SP, as it should be. However be warned, if you are a sensitive soul and take offence easily, you really should not buy this game. Then again if you are like that, chances are this game is not even on your must play list. It also goes without saying that this is NOT a game for the under 18 crowd. Any parent buying this should understand that, and be ashamed for letting their kid play this.

    Its not a perfect game, there are a few bugs and some frame rate issues*review was within 3 days of its release* but nothing that breaks the game, or takes away from the total immersion in the town of South Park that is possible. By far this is the best South Park game ever produced, and is absolutely a stellar game. Around 10-12 hours if you rush, 20+ if you do everything. There will always be some braggart guy that nobody likes spouting off that "Well, I, beat it in *lie about time* it was too easy!" But who cares about that class of jerk?

    They have already said that some adventure adding DLC is on the way, and will be coming to the Xbox 360 first. This will serve to add more play time to the game, obviously.

    If you LOVE or even just kind of like South Park in any way and having a good laugh / good time at the same time, then buy or rent this masterpiece of satire.

The visuals are awesome because it is an exact replica of the show, and the game runs very smoothly. I found maybe one or two minor bugs in my first play through. The only way someone may not like this game is if they are not a fan of RPGs. This game is an RPG, so it kinda has that 'Pokemon' style combat to it. Im not a huge fan of RPGs, but I made an exception for this game and I am really glad I did. My only complaint about the game is that I wish it really was a little longer because this game can be completed in a day if you really wanted to.

It's also very difficult to stop playing as the story and side quests keep you running around town, looking for other things, and trust me, you will want to explore it all. You can also get a slightly different storyline, so you might want to start a second game once you finish it the first time around. I know for my part, if I stare at my controller, I'll just turn on the console and start playing for hours, simply because you'll want to see what will happen next and where you'll end up. And once that controller is in your hands, I can guarantee you will not put it down for hours on end until the game is complete... then, you might make yourself a coffee to stay awake, and start the game again to try another class, the alternative storyline, etc.

    South Park we have all seen it, a small group of 4th graders get caught in some insane offensive plot to some culture and figure out a way to deal with it in a kid way. The stick of truth is no difference to a South Park Episode, you play as the Douchebag or the new kid on the block trying to the humans overcome the elves, and then aliens, nazi zombies, the government, and some fetuses come in to play making the story as farfetched as possible. Every important character in the south park universe makes an appearance including Chef, who hasn’t made an appearance in a couple seasons. The story is just as good as any great episode of South Park, original voice acting, original music, and of course remembering big episodes such as ManBearPig, the adventure of lemmiwinks, and 8-bit Canada. The music is great, full of original music for the game and songs from the show. The most disappointing thing about the game is the gameplay, the turn base rpg system is very nice don’t get me wrong, but to the SBE crew we believed it could have been better as a hack n slash. The game its self is quite easy and completing everything in the game can take you roughly 12 hours.

    An absolute blast to play. Fans of the series will undoubtedly have more fun with it, shrieking with glee when a delightfully obscure reference pops on the screen. It caters to fans of RPGs being a turn-based game, but the button-tapping and interaction during moves should keep fans of more actiony fare engaged.

Fans of the series will undoubtedly have more fun with it, shrieking with glee when a delightfully obscure reference pops on the screen. It caters to fans of RPGs being a turn-based game, but the button-tapping and interaction during moves should keep fans of more actiony fare engaged.

    While it is a spectacularly put-together game, the gameplay itself is almost secondary to the top-notch entertainment the script and characters provide. It's funny. It's just really, really funny. The voice acting is superb, your favorite characters are just as hilarious as they would be on the show (Randy, dear sweet Randy will forever be one of the finest South Park characters, and in this game he does not disappoint), and the whole story is as perfectly absurd as an episode of the show would be. Everything just works so nicely together. And without giving anything away, Canada is just the best.

    I refrain from giving it a perfect score for only two reasons:

    One, it is a LITTLE bit too forgiving, almost a bit too easy. Aside from one or two fights (definitely NOT with Al Gore) the game is just not that hard. Most RPGs give you just one action a turn, and this game affords you the luxury of TWO per turn, allowing a character to consume an item and then also attack. Usually a bit more strategy or timing is expected to survive encounters, and this extra move a turn eliminates a lot of that.

    Two, it's just too short. I'm sure I'm not the only one complaining that it goes by too quickly, and maybe it's because I was just having so much fun I just powered through it, but it could have (and really should have) been at least three or four times longer. I can't imagine where they might have taken the story if it went further than it did, but I know I would have enjoyed it. Just when the story is starting to get really intense, the world starting to feel bigger, your army powerful and dynamic, the game is over. It ends spectacularly, but I wasn't ready for it to be done; I wanted to spend much more time playing dress-up with the boys.

    Overall, gorgeous, hilarious, and fun, and certainly not to be missed by any right-minded South Park fan.    … Expand

    It has many memorable and laugh our load moments. All your favorite characters are doing what your favorite characters do. There personalities and look are all the same as the series. I really fell in love with this game. The story is silly, but that's what South Park is all about.

    Is there any bad? Of course there is, no game is perfect. Whilst these aren't "Game ruining" They were still frustrating moments.

    Walking around south park was amazing, but it very quickly became repetitive and didn't offer much extra further in the game. The fighting became a bit dull and boring the more you did it, I thought. At first it was also very confusing, and felt a little tedious.

    I honestly can't find anymore complaints about this game, I'm sure there is more and I'm sure there is also a lot more good that I have missed. If you're a fan of the show I would definitely check out this game. Even if you're not a fan I would still at least hire it from a local video shop and check it out.

    I honestly think people giving this game a 10 are absolutely insane, a game has to be almost perfect to receive a 10. This game was a good game, but definitely doesn't rise much above your average game.
    I think people put a lot of nostalgia into there ratings. None the less this game definitely deserves an 8. Go check it out if you haven't already.    … Expand

    Feels like you are dropped right into a South Park episode. Fun game with simple RPG elements. Even if you are not a fan of South Park (but ok with crude humor) I think you will enjoy this game.

For me, just hearing that is was being made by Obsidian was a delight. Enough of that, let's get to the real review. I have played it and beat it, and in my opinion, The Stick of Truth (TSoT) is enjoyable, irritating at times, hilarious, and is one of the best licensed games ever. Most of the flaws come from irritation, yes. However, there are 2 things in this game that are constantly amusing, ALL THE TIME. Those 2 things are the battle system and the humor. While the battle system starts off simple, it goes on to have a layer of complexity, too. It keeps you on your toes with timed button presses that I actually found great, except the small quick time events at times. The magic spells could've been easier to control, too. The classes in the battle system can be different, but the differences aren't as big as you'd expect, especially coming from Obsidian. Even the RPG mechanics are slight. This wasn't a problem though, because it still comes out as enjoyable. However, we all know this is South Park at heart, and that means there will be humor. How is it? It kept on making me laugh, even in the slightest moments. It's wonderfully crude, and yes, it has its offensive side to it, too. One part in the game very close to the end had me laughing constantly, and it was pretty offensive. You may not like the humor, but if you have ever laughed at South Park, you're going to love it. Plus, the story doesn't even need to be good because it's so funny. I found the story to be a bit better than I expected, though (out of South Park at least). The game also has a fair share of replay value. There are side quests, many collectibles, and some very good achievement and trophy hunting. However, with the side quests, I didn't found them very entertaining. There's so many things that block you in the quests, and most of them are kill or fetch quests. This kept me from doing many of them, which I usually do in these kind of games. With the rare occasion of side quests and beating the main story, it took me about 12 to 13 hours. Does that mean it's worth full price? With the enjoyment you'll get, it's worth 40 to 50 dollars. An 8 out of 10, and that is great on my scale.… Expand

However, South Park: The Stick of Truth delivered the best experience I could ever have asked for. The combat is extremely simple yet rewarding, the side quests are varied and engaging, and the storyline is absolutely over the top hilarious.
    As a long time fan of the show I do have to say however that people who are not familiar with the show will not have nearly as much fun with it as I did. In the side quests, collectibles, and the story line there are hundreds of jokes that only people who watch the show would understand; I feel like that was the part that most engaged me. Although the game play itself was fun and rewarding, that is not what got me through the game itself, it was seeing which character from South Park would make an appearance next.
    I did not give this game a perfect 10 based on the facts above and also that the game was a little too short. I hate to say this but I would 100% recommend to rent this game, it is not worth the full price $60 due to the fact it is only about 15-20 hours in length with doing everything in the game.
    One piece of advice I can offer anyone on the fence about this game as well is that if you are easily offended do not bother with this game. I personally was not offended but did catch myself on numerous occasions saying things out loud like "Oh come on!" and "No... no... are you kidding me". There are jokes and scenarios in this game that top any of the most offensive South Park episodes in recent memory.
    Overall though it is a great Role-Playing Game and homage to fans of South Park everywhere. 9/10 Would Recommend!    … Expand

    This is the best South Park game I've ever played. Even though it's not my favorite genre (role playing) I found it entertaining enough to hold my attention throughout. That said it can sometimes be a mixed bags, with both pros, and cons. Here's what I found...

    PROS: - Graphically, an excellent representation of the cartoon. It looks just like South Park. - The humor is great, but    This is the best South Park game I've ever played. Even though it's not my favorite genre (role playing) I found it entertaining enough to hold my attention throughout. That said it can sometimes be a mixed bags, with both pros, and cons. Here's what I found...

    PROS:

    - Graphically, an excellent representation of the cartoon. It looks just like South Park.

    - The humor is great, but bear in mind there is some adult content that's not appropriate for a younger audience. (S-E-X!)

    - If you're a South Park fan, then you'll enjoy the story. It continues off from a few earlier South Park episodes.

    - Although this is an RPG it has a fair amount of action elements, which keeps you engaged in battles.

    - It's fun exploring the town, and meeting all the characters, and interacting with objects.

    - You have lots of different weapons to choose from, and you can customize your character's clothes.

    - The progression system is well done. too.

    - In total it's a complete RPG experience.

    CONS:

    - The menu, while manageable, is sometimes confusing. There's a slight learning curve here.

    - Speaking of learning curves, since this game has action elements you are required to join in, and press certain buttons to attack your opponents. This can prove problematic, and you will avoid certain attacks, or get hurt. (Although they try to circumvent this with instructions.)

    - Not really a fan of the quick travel system. Why can't I just bring up my map, and travel to wherever I like? To fast travel I have to go to a certain spot, and hitch a ride with Timmay!

    - Getting lost in the woods is a pain. Not sure what they were thinking with this. It's the most annoying part of town. The enemies there, the wolves, they just obliterate you. They howl at the moon, and keep spawning. There's no run away option (I believe).

    - Some elements, and routes seem unintentionally obscured. For example, finding Mr Slave's house is kind of hard.

    - I like how you can visit characters, and do missions to have them help you during battles. My only gripe is once you use them up, you have to visit them again. It seems like a time waster.

    - The save system could use some improvement. When I save, I want to save at that precise point. Is this not technically possible?

    CONCLUSION:

    Not a perfect game, but very well done. Worth a play if you are a fan of South Park, or the RPG genre. If you aren't then this might not be for you. But give it a try. I'm looking forward to the sequel.    … Expand

    South Park The Stick of Truth

    A Refreshing RPG
    In stick of Truth you play as the new kid,
    You get to customize this new kid in the beginning, and you’re tasked by your parents to go out and make new friends…
    You keep track of your new friends via Facebook…
    When you meet up with the neighborhood kids you find they’re in the middle of an elf vs human war, you start out on the human side and get to choose 1 of the varying classes, its then up to you to sabotage the elves and recruit new members for the kingdom
    Stick of Truth was a relaxing time but the gameplay for me was just a bit too repetitive..
    It didn’t take long for me to get bored with the combat...
    This is a turn based rpg where you take turns attacking enemies with potential elemental damage, and effects like bleeding, or gross out…
    with a bag on consumables for healing
    Nothing special…
    You have mana which is used for fart magic you unlock as your progress through the game, and power points for special moves…
    You also have 1 buddy with you when you battle…
    Buddies are unlocked with story progression and can be swapped in and out like Pokémon at any time...
    There’s a buddy for every ones playstyle or to balance your class out…
    So a lot of thought definitely went into balancing this game…
    You can also collect new weapons and armor in backpacks, or buy them at shops…
    This game pokes fun at the rpg genre throughout, which is the only thing I really found charming here…
    I personally found no humor during the combat nor really in the game even though they clearly tried really hard…
    Humor is subjective.. I find games like fat princess adventures to be hilarious while others may look at me strange for saying this… but bathroom humor just doesn’t quite tickle my funny bone, though the game did manage to get few laughs out of me... but not necisarily with the ridiculous things going on like giving an abortion to stans dad, or farting all over the place to progress through the levels.. But when the game would sarcastically make fun of itself... these were the best moments for me as someone not really a fan of the TV show…
    I feel like you need to be a fan to truly enjoy this and get the belly laughs I’ve heard so much about before playing...
    There’s so much fan service here…
    The entire town is mapped out and can be freely explored with tons of collectibles…
    You can do side quests... search the characters drawers for junk, to sell for some pocket change, collect frustratingly missable collectibles like chimpokomon
    It will keep fans of the show entertained for hours…
    The biggest mistake I feel this game makes though is the whole having to fart or use these different abilities to progress…
    It feels a little awkward switching through fart types, or shooting an object then switching to give commands…
    I could’ve done without this needless slowdown…
    Shooting arrows is fine for the collectible aspect or knocking things down in the environment, setting up traps to kill enemies before you get into a battle with them… but I feel like the shrinking, the anal probe thing, and buddy commands got in the way.
    While I didn’t get the laughs I expected, I can still appreciate this game for what it is though as a whole…
    A well balanced, but repetitive, rpg with a decent story to keep you moving forward..

It was purely on a whim that I picked it up on sale for $8 on Xbox's countdown for new years sale. I'm so thankful I did because this game is quickly becoming on of my favorite RPGs.

    The level of immersion in Stick of Truth is one of the most impressive aspects of this game. The visuals are incredibly accurate to the show. I really feel like I'm a part of this wild world created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Right off the bat you get to create your own South Park character. Seeing your person in various cut-scenes in these very familiar environments is pretty surreal.

    One of the biggest surprises to me was the combat system. Its just deep enough for hardcore rpgs fans without the extra, complicated, fluff that weighs down so many big rpgs. A turn based combat system with bonus for timing your hits and blocks is reminiscent of many of the genres staples like Paper Mario and Legend of Dragoon. The variety of weapons, equipment, and enhancements is equally impressive. The default difficulty feels like it gives just the right amount of challenge without requiring grinding.

    The story is has all the antics you'd expect from the best classic South Park episodes. The way the scenarios slowly build up in scale is really cool. Going from backyard brawls and role playing to taking on a horde of zombies and government agents is both ridiculous and hilarious. This game is chalk full of references and side quests related to the tv show. I even really enjoy just rummaging peoples' houses and seeing what junk they had lying around.

    In the end, I'm very grateful I gave this game a chance. I'm loving every minute of it and I'll be very curious to see how it all comes together. If you enjoy the show or just like RPGs in general its worth checking out this comical and rewarding game.    … Expand

Most of the sucess of the game was Tray Parker and Matt Stone making the plot story, because, only them can create the best South Park plot, after 20 years with this show, South Park is by far a part of them.
    The game takes place after the black friday's episode, on the end of the 17th seasson, is nothing huge, that will changing completly the conception of the universe, but is a nice "side story" for the show.But, for you have the best experience ever on the game, you must had watched all the seassons, all simple things on the game, makes a reference to a part of the show, and some is about other shows, but nothing complex, everybody will understand, for example, the achivement, called "Hisenberg", that you have to look like Walter White and fight with some drugs makers, but everybody would know that was a referance to Breaking Bad.And the game uses the referance of SKYRIM, to the main plot, as you are like a "dragonborn", that you have more power than a normal person would.
    Most people complains about the RPG's combat mechanics, that is a turning battle, but is good to remember old days, and like isn't focused in "combat", "action", but in funny things, and would be weird the combat, for this in the plot the combat is like a game, that for play, everybody must follow the rules, The weapons and armours aren't stronger that others about the power of itself, but the power that they puts on it, like the stick of truth, a simple stick, that "who have the stick, controlls the whole universe".
    The game isn't big, short story, not big map, some side quests, some collectables and just, after this the game is over. But, is so funny that makes you wanna play more and more, the feeling of being a part of the South Park's universe is unique.
    Have already finidhed the game 5 times now, plan to play more and more. Is by far my all-time favorite game. If you enjoy the TV show ore wants a funny game, go ahead. If you are a hardcore game, and only wants challenging games, best gameplay ever, true RPG style.... you will find nothing here.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's not the most original game ever, it's a decently fun game, and has plenty of laughs, and does do most things right. Some bits of the game could have been expanded upon a bit more, like the combat system, which doesn't really do that much that's original, though it is interesting farting on Al Gore and causing more global warming, you can't deny that if the squeal is going to be better they have to: make more available partners in battle, a weapons system that has weapons that are for different, classes, instead of letting a thief use a mage staff.… Expand

    Пукан, пукану - челмедведосвин!

    Если Вы чисты и невинны, как еврей нашедший слиток фашистского золота, что купил на него порно с участием чьей-то мамки, то этот щикарный проект проходит мимо.

    Если Вы чисты и невинны, как еврей нашедший слиток фашистского золота, что купил на него порно с участием чьей-то мамки, то этот щикарный проект проходит мимо. Однако если мысль об избиении бомжей и возможность поговорить с рождественской какахой не звучит как бред сумасшедшего, то деликатес от тандема Богов РеПеГэ и мэтров сортирного юмора точно придётся по вкусу. "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

    I’ll give this a 9 just because this is a great example how a licensed game should be handled. It’s a lot of fun exploring the town of South Park and you really feel like you are playing an episode of the show.

    One of my favorite RPG games. The game has preserved the style of humor and irony over society, all the characters seem to have come here from the series to amuse us. It's interesting that the game is made with such love from a cartoon.

The gameplay clings to the soul, it's interesting to collect new weapons, costumes and defeat various opponents in turn-based tactics, I don't even notice how I spend hours in this wonderful game. The music in the game is really interesting, even the notes of Skyrim and many other games and movies can be noticed. The plot is really funny and ironic in every sense. The surrounding world is filled with colorful characters and we can walk around the city finding various references and unique characters. Also in the game there are partners, races, classes with various unique attacks and characters. In general, this is a unique game in its genre that can drag you for many hours. This is definitely a successful project!… Expand

    Great RPG game. Very clean turn-based combat, with a great story to go with it. Easy to sink time into and has great comedy as well.

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    I enjoyed my time with the game, but it's so dang repetitive, most of the appeal just comes from it being south park themed

    In a Venn diagram of South Park fans and adventure RPG fans this game exists in the overlap. If you find yourself there too then this game is an absolute no-brainer.

    I had heard that Stephen King's Misery was a love letter written to his fans. South Park: The Stick of Truth is a similar love note from Matt Stone and Trey Parker.
