NOTE: The game isn't poopy or bad, it's quite much the opposite of the title. You will see later why i gave this review a title like that. I actually bought the game but for 1$ from a friend of mine who got an extra copy for free.
When i first double clicked on 'South Park: The Stick of Truth.exe' a world that i have seen before opened up and started to shine infront of my eyes. It was the state of South Park, and it looked gorgeous (well, it's a game that should have an ugly set of looks, but that's what South Park is all about, right?). I have had a lot of laughs for a pretty short time, but it was definitely worth the dollar.
PRESENTATION
Create your own character, give him some clothing, and you're good to go. Meeting with Cartman at his mom's house lets you choose which class you're gonna be, Figher, Thief, Mage or a Jew. Some people may find the Jew quite offensive, but the devs really didn't mean anything bad with it. I opened one of the various doors in Eric's house and there was a toilet, with the seat down. I approached by not expecting anything to come up, but as i clicked space, my character jumped on and started pooping! Awesome, right? I also accidentally right clicked and he farted... The campaign is about 6-8 hours long (sometimes even shorter), and that is something i didn't expect. The combat system is like an RPG game, you get in a fight and you have weapons to choose from (like Ninja Saga on Facebook for eg.). You have to plan your attacks carefully, enemies change stances from turn to turn (defence up=armour, attack up=stronger attacks that can break your defence, their ability to be invincible against your melee attacks.). As your progress, you gain XP and friends on some sort of a social app (South Park's version of Facebook) and you receive statuses and messages from them. By gaining friends, you also gain perk unlock points. Perks stay forever and can all be with you at the same time. Don't ever forget to upgrade your character, won't do you any good if you don't. Mission structures are well written, HELL, you even have a mission in which you go and find Jesus, TWICE!
GRAPHICS
South Park looks amazing, however it's hard to believe that the game stutters on last gen, while it can run smoothly on lower end PCs. The devs have done an outstanding job bringing the world from the cartoon we all know into a virtual world we control. The game might even have the first ever fully drawn map of South Park!
MULTIPLAYER
Mafia II again...
+ Fun and very enjoyable -A short campaign with no multiplayer (yes, multiplayer
Awesome customization would be awesome in this game)
Great visuals A bit repetitive sometimes
You get the feel of the real
South Park!
THE VERDICT
South Park: The stick of Truth is a nasty, gory, but at the same time, awesome game hat will bring you into the world of South Park even more. I give this game an 8.5. For more reviews, check out my blog.
(Another)NOTE: I've been busy as i said before. At the end of the school year, i hope to get a new PC that will play Watch Dogs on ultra (yes, on mothafuckin' ultra settings), so games won't be old, instead they will be fresh out of the developement PC. Laters.
