I'm going through 'South Park : The Stick Of Truth' at the moment. I was going to leave my thoughts under the PS3 games section, but it seems to be missing everything after K?! Well, for me at least…
Obviously I won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't played it yet or may have only just started it, but all I'll say is that as a fan of the series (almost from day one, actually!), it's superb.
No, the controls aren’t much good and it’s a bit 2D/limited in that respect - almost like an old Sega Megadrive platformer, but it’s goes about it's business just like the show. Same voice actors and actresses too, so you do get the sense you're interacting within a huge episode. It's been done in about the best way I can think of. If you enjoy the show, it's immensely enjoyable and I would recommend it to any South Park fan. There's more detail in it than you initially think when starting out.
I won't give any plot spoilers but it's genuinely amusing the further along you get (I'm about three and a half, maybe four hours in). Cartman's antics have cracked me up with laughter more than once and there's an event in the game which turns some of your enemies into something a little special – typically South Park…typically Cartman! Think of who he's aspired to be in past episodes and you may get where I'm coming from. You would have to know the show to get the humour value but so far, it's certainly a decent 8/10 game for me. I may knock that up half a point or so when completed. It depends on a few factors...
There's not a whole lot that I don't like about it. The downsides? The fighting element does get a little repetitive but there's several different ways you can go about it…
