Over precies twee dagen ligt South Park: The Stick of Truth dan eindelijk in de winkels voor de bekende systemen. De game wordt zeer goed ontvangen door de pers en de gamers die het spel al gedownl... in hun bezit hebben. Maar de website Uproxx heeft nu deze lijst gemaakt met vijf dingen over de game, die je moet weten. Dingen zoals:


The Game Is Essentially A Really Long, Really Funny South Park Episode.

I confess, my patience with South Park has become more and more limited over the years. The show is still capable of some brilliant satire, but more and more when the show tries to be edgy or political, it devolves into whining with more toilet humor.

Fortunately, there's no such problem here, because this is essentially a South Park epic about how video games and the way they tell stories completely blow. This game is better than entire seasons of the series in some cases, and is packed with tiny details, right down to various characters offering bitchy observations about what's happening on Facebook. Great care has been taken to pack this game with jokes, and it shows.

That said, sometimes the fanservice gets to be a little much; expect to find literally every possible object that has ever turned up in a South Park episode at some point, including far too many copies of The Poop That Took A Pee. A few bits are essentially copied straight from the show, thanks to production delays. And in case the fact that an abortion minigame had to be edited out for some markets and the fact that Cartman calls himself the Grand Wizard, wasn't a clue, this game can be staggering in how utterly, hilariously, tasteless it is, although really, if tasteless humor bothers you, you weren't a fan of the show anyway.

But overall, it's a hoot, and a reminder of what the show can do when it's firing on all cylinders.
