Plus, it’s an even richer gaming experience, boasting a 20-plus hour campaign that opens up the entire town of South Park for you to explore, features an expanded, grid-based combat system, and sees a shift in theme from fantasy-adventure to superhero-showdown. Ubisoft’s follow-up to The Stick of Truth, South Park: The Fractured but Whole (the fact that a game with that title will be sitting on store shelves across the country is such a joy…), developed this time by Ubisoft San Francisco with help from South Park Digital Studios, is just as astonishingly identical-looking to the show. The Stick of Truth wasn’t just a good game based on a TV show, it was a playable version of a TV show. They’re voiced by show creators Matt Parker and Trey Stone (who also wrote the game’s story and dialogue alongside the game’s developers, Obsidian Entertainment), and anyone who’s played or seen the game in action can tell you just how easy it is to mistake gameplay footage for actual clips from South Park. Even (the now-defunct) Terminal Reality’s 2009 Ghostbusters game – which was written by Harold Ramis and Dan Akroyd and saw all four of the original films’ actors reprise their roles via voiceover – gave us polygonal representations of the beloved characters from the film.īut that’s what makes The Stick of Truth so special: the game’s versions of Cartman, Kenny, Kyle, Stan and the gang are virtually indistinguishable from their TV counterparts. Kevin Conroy voices Batman in the Arkham series, but Rocksteady’s version of the Caped Crusader is unique to their games and can’t be seen in any other medium. Until The Stick of Truth, tie-in games almost exclusively presented us with unique approximations or interpretations of characters from their respective source materials.

So good, in fact, that I’d argue that it was actually a far more groundbreaking game than it gets credit for.

It’s one of those rare franchise tie-ins that’s actually, you know, really, really good. To most, Ubisoft’s fantasy RPG satire/homage South Park: The Stick of Truth is widely regarded as the best South Park game ever made.
