Almost everyone I’ve met has at least heard of South Park,
so I won’t bore you with a lengthy introduction. It’s a mature cartoon that has
been running on Comedy Central since I was a kid, and I’ve always enjoyed the
show… for the most part. TFbW comes after Ubisoft’s previous South Park game,
The Stick of Truth (Which I really enjoyed). You’re playing as the same “new
kid” as you did in that game.
Where Stick of Truth
was about wizards and elves, magic and swords, TFbW is about super heroes. It
has a big Marvel vs DC feel between the South Park groups: Freedom Pals, and
Coon and Friends. You are a part of Coon and Friends. The main story revolves
around a missing cat named Scambles that you are looking for, in order to
collect the reward. As always, however, there is a lot more going on in South
Park than just that.
Battles in the street! Unless a car comes along...
The character customization is good, and there are a lot of
options to choose from—as well as more you collect in game. Hair styles, make
up, facial hair, costumes, and more. So, you can always change it up if you get
bored. There is also a wide array of costumes for your hero to wear. I’ve
played about 13 hours’ worth of gameplay so far, and I have collected around 30
different costumes. I found a style and design that I liked, as you can see
above.
Playing a South Park game is like playing through a long
episode. It’s great to see the easter eggs from the show, and to play alongside
your favorite characters (Butters, Tweek, and Craig are mine). It has the same
fart humor that you either loved or hated in the first game. I happen to be a 12-year-old
boy in disguise, and I find toilet humor hilarious.
All hail King Douchebag
I did have a few issues with controls, particularly during
the toilet sequences. I tried 2 different controllers, but I still had issues
getting the analog stick rotations to register properly. My ps4 controller
worked a little better than my Logitech, but still had issues. I didn’t have
any issues during any other parts of the game, though.
The graphics are nice—just like watching an episode of South
Park—and the music is great. While a lot of South Park is ridiculous in your
face humor, there are some serious moments too, which are also well captured in
the game. The game isn’t for everyone, of course, but I personally found it fun
and interesting. Who doesn’t want to be a superhero (even if it meant having to
see your dad $&#^ your mom).
It's a-me!
I recommend picking it up, and giving it a chance. Maybe
wait until it’s on sale though, since the $60 price tag might not be entirely
worth it, unless you’re a big fan of the show. Also, if we’re comparing TFbW and
Stick of Truth, I think Stick of Truth is the better game. Anyhow, check out
TFbW on its Steam page *here*.
If you’ve played the game, let me know what you thought, and
until next time… happy gaming, Jammers!
