THE GOOD: Features many characters from South Park. Lots of funny weapons. Several good modes of play. Graphics are perfect to the franchise.THE BAD: Nothing, unless you can't stand kids using profanities just like on the TV show (it can be censored, though). SUMMARY: Racing was never this fouled...this game is your chance to wreck havoc on South Park with your favorite characters from the show-drive as any of the kids or many other hidden characters like Mr. Mackey, Terrence & Philip, and Cartman Cop. While sometimes there's racing, what adds cariety to the game are several mission-based levels that require certain objectives to be completed, like gathering turkeys at Thanksgiving or other things to save South Park from destruction. The multi-player game is among the funniest ever-it's such a blast to take out your adversaries with items like barf or cheesy poofs, even exploding cows then listen to them curse you out afterwards! A nice touch is that the environments look just like they do on the TV show, and the same actors do voice-overs (including Isaac Hayes as Chef). Controls vary for each vehicle but overall are quite responsive. There's really nothing to dislike about this, although the M rating covers some strong language and profanities. You can censor it, though, if you're the sensitive type-but if you are, this might not be the game for you. South Park fans will obviously love it, but race fans shouldn't pass this one up just because you don't like the series-it's a lot of fun for grown-up gamers. |
