As a pleasant surprise back in 2014, The Stick Of Truth was always going to be a tough act for Trey Parker and Matt Stone to both follow and conquer. Yes, they have succeeded in expanding upon its gameplay with deeper combat, more interesting and varied boss battles and superior side-quests, but did they manage to make a better game overall? No.
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.
Agreed. This one is sooooo slow and repetitive. Takes ages between amy laughs. Obsidian did a much better job with stick of truth but that's hardly suprising when all ubisoft sanfran has done is rocksmith 2014 and just dance for kids.
Both games became repetitive after awhile, however I am still happy with them. By part 2 the novelty of a South Park game will not be as fresh anymore. Even so, it is still solid RPG game; and there is really nothing else out there like it. It's like a modern, mature (err...immature actually) Earthbound.
i find them to be just about absolutely even personally, some good laughs here and there (all subjective on your sense of humor and some things are funnier if you get the show references) pretty solid gameplay from both, i enjoy the blocking and attacking timing prompts from the first and the attack grid and strategy of the second... solid turn based rpgs and those are literally fucking unicorns nowadays sadly as devs seem to have it in there head that they cant be popular and everything has to be action action action, ADHD to the max for a game to be good when i think if anything southpark proves that turn based is still incredibly solid as a choice for combat style in an rpg and i will def support the shit out of any game they come out with that incorporates a similar style ... especially one without a shitty loot crate system that nickels and dimes the shit out of you... there is something to be said for the simplicity of south park IMO solid turn based strategy and some good laughs with a solid enough story to keep you entertained for the 20 or so hours you wonder about in that quiet mountain town ;)
I actually like both games each have their strengths and flaws in both games. I was really hoping Timmy and Towelie both would have been playable characters or Nathan and Mimzy could have also been in the game also.
