The failures of South Park: The Stick of Truth’s predecessors were based in their inability to capture the essence of the show. The look, the feel, the writing – South Park meshes them all in a unique fidelity that is unmatched by any other comedic animation, and has never been realized in any of the games. Because of this, the game is so good that it has the power to nearly exorcise any memory that there were any other South Park games prior to its existence. Despite this, the game does not come close to perfection, or even greatness. As South Park, it is pure excellence, but as a video game, it has a tendency to fall flat on its face.
Over the last 25 years, there has been a fair few South Park games, and here GameSpew has ranked them all from best to worst.
We are going to see a lot of crap South Park products since they sold out to paramount years ago. It's their IP they can sell out, of course; it just means the quality of their show has tanked and other products as well. Nevertheless, they put on excellent musicals, but those haven't been sold to a mega corporation.
They said awhile ago that Ubisoft holds contract rights to the main flagship South Park games. So like stick, fractured and phone destroyer.
Snow Day was handled by THQ and Question and is a random spinoff. Hopefully Ubisoft is cooking something.
Loved the RPGs but never played the others. Have to track them down. Still not sure about Snow Day though.
The South Park series has somehow managed to stay relevant for over 25 years, but which are the best games based on the TV show?
The only two worth playing are Stick of truth and fractured but whole. The rest were garbage except snow day which I can't say anything about yet. But with that said, unlike stick and fractured which debuted as AAA full priced titles by ubisoft, snow day is a new developer and publisher and has a budget price at only $30 soooo
Feeling sad and on the verge of splurging on unnecessary stuff? Drop that credit card, amigo and come read about the funniest PS4 games!
I see Deadpool made the list. Also saw it in stock at the local game store. Second hand. Might finally pick up a copy.
LOL Dualshockers- the shock value of low scores to attract hits. Anyone who's not a fan of the series shouldn't have reviewed this game.
Getting solid 8.5, 9.0, etc other places. I'm in.
Yeah a 6.5 is def trying to get hits...having played the game and reviewed it myself...it is not a 6.5
There are always lower reviews for good games, opinions are like A-holes, everyone has one.
If you don't like the show there is Zero Chance you'll like the game. Trust me - if you're a fan of the show - BUY IT!!
