South Park: The Stick of Truth
You ever have one of those instances where you buy a video game because it was on sale, then forgot to even play it for over a year? This is what happened with me, when I purchased South Park: The Stick of Truth off the Playstation Network well over a year ago. I have well over 100 games downloaded onto my Playstation 3 from past network sales, and it just ended up getting lost in the mix. Now that I finally got around to playing The Stick of Truth, it couldn’t be more evident why this game gets so much praise.
Everything about The Stick of Truth nails the South Park style and dark comedic tones extremely well, thanks to Matt Stone and Trey Parker lending their talents for both writing and voice acting towards the game. In fact, if you thought the show already strayed a little too far into crude territory, The Stick of Truth will feel like an even bigger step into the gross out humor Parker and Stone are notorious for. Literal feces can be used as a weapon and even farts are considered a specialized martial arts technique. It’s all childishly crude and obscene, but all the while being very funny.
Marketed as a turn based RPG, South Park: The Stick of Truth is probably one of the most accessible role playing video games out there for its audience. Containing all the antics from our four favorite potty mouthed kids, and just plain being a blast to play, I am glad to have finally begun playing this title, and can’t wait to hear when the sequel, South Park: The Fractured but Whole, is ready to be released. -Donald
