If all you’ve ever shit out are turds, only someone delusional would expect the next turd to be a solid gold nugget. I think my doubts about how Stick of Truth would turn out were completely justified.
The Tower Defense game? Well, I never really got around to it, but it mostly got a bunch of 7s out of 10s, which as we all know, is critic speak for “Worst thing since Hitler.” (By the way, I’m pretty sure that joke will get me banned in Germany) Hell, there was a fairly hyped Scott Tenorman based game that ultimately was a mediocre platformer. Chef’s Luv Shack? Possibly the worst quiz and/or minigame collection ever. South Park Rally? Possibly the worst kart-racer ever.
South Park on Nintendo 64 and especially the PlayStation? Horrible. I was just going off the property’s track record. From the moment Trey Parker and Matt Stone took the stage of E3 a while back, I said there was no chance in hell that South Park: The Stick of Truth would be a decent, worthwhile title. But I sort of have to write this review and eat a plate full of crow. This should be relatively spoiler free, but a few plot points kind of have to be discussed.
