South Park: The Stick of Truth

[I'm Murrin]

I've been thinking about trying this game out - it's kind of a fantasy RPG, but with a very characteristic South Park setting and style. It looks like it could be fun.

I haven't entirely decided on it - has anyone else played it yet?


Also, for UK people - do not buy this on Steam. I discovered while looking around that it's £30 on Amazon - £9.99 less than buying it directly in the Steam client - and what you get for that is the exact same Steam code. (Do get that version, though, because the physical release has been censored in the EU.)

I have a PS3. Julie gets me the updated Madden every couple of years or so.
I have tried Walking Dead, Assassin's Creed...
still prefer the sports stuff...
does the S.Park game come in PS3 form? would be a hoot.

Yes, looks like it's on the PS3 and XBox 360.

I did, in the end, buy the game. It's very well made, and very much South Park. If you like South Park, it's worth trying. It's going to be very offensive to a lot of people, though, as you'd expect.

Julie would hate it.

My son rented it. I didn't play it, but I watched a little and thought it was hilarious and well made. I let my son (13) watch the show and all their movies, but he was still a little shocked by some of the content. I think there's a big difference between watching Mr Slave and

and giving people anal probes, etc. He said one of the hardest parts of the game was taking a dump. Apparently you have to push the A button repeatedly for an extended period of time; he kept failing to poop. My son was mashing so hard, he almost looked like he was actually taking a troublesome dump. Very realistic gameplay!
