This game could have been a heck of alot better. The idea of the game is pretty stupid. They should have taken things from different episodes and made that the game. The graphics are good, since it's only playstation. The multiplayer is pretty fun. Too bad this game wasn't released later on and they could have put Jimmy and Timmy in it. I'm glad I bought this game though.
IT'S FRIGGIN' CRAP!!!

I love south park and was expecting more from the game when I heard about it. In story mode you can be any of the four 8-year-olds. All the unlockable characters can only be used in battle mode and that was one of the biggest dissapointments to me. Another was the characters always say the same thing, I think they should say something new each level or episode.
And the last was that they only killed kenny in one episode on the game (the one with the robot turkey). They should've killed him more!!!! I bet that dissapointed alota kenny fans.
I really wish they would've added more kenny deaths but oh well. I heard on a web-site that the creaters of SP are thinking about making a new video game but still don't know what company and game-system to have it on. It better be better than the others they made, thats for sure.
I don't get it.

I just don't get it. I mean, I think this is a pretty good game and that if you don't like it you're only saying that because you can't beat it. The game delivers most of the South Park characters, (where's Kevin?), and all the crosshairs possible, but the bright light scenery is dumb. You almost want to get through levels quick because of the corny music, don't you? Even though there are quite a few cons, the game is somewhat smart and leaves you wanting more out of South Park. the creativity needs help but this is a great game. If you're a real fan, you won't let the cons overcome the pros and you'll find yourself giving this product good ratings on a website like amazon.com.
Not bad, but needs lots of improvement

I have to agree with many of the things already expressed by the other reviewers; like them, I expected so much more from this game. The graphics don't translate well at all, and the characters are very fuzzy and blurry in the scenes where you actually see them. The game play moves and looks a lot like "Doom," and for anyone who has motion sickness, you'll play this for 5 minutes and swear you need to throw up. The audio tracks for the turkeys were recorded MUCH louder than that of the characters, and in order to keep from going deaf, you'll turn down the volume and miss what your South Park kid is saying. The white-on-white playing field is a pain to play on and finding your way through each stage isn't easy. There are red arrows here and there to point you where you need to go, but since the scenery is so bland and repetitive, it's easy to get turned around and go in circles. I only gave this game 3 stars because I love how Cartman reacts to being assaulted by the turkeys (play it and hear what I mean). I also thought it was pretty funny that your characters don't necessarily die; they just get ticked off and leave the game. As another reviewer noted, the weapons could have been more creative. I think it might've been funny to have Cartman have a special weapon that shot cranberry sauce at the turkeys. The turkeys aren't easy to destroy, especially if you just have the snowballs. Extra power-ups (in the form of Cheesy Poofs) aren't abundant, so you really have to be cautious of being attacked. It's not a bad game, but I know that once I finish it, I won't be keeping it.
Even the most devoted SP fan couldn't deny that this game just falls short.

First off, this is a great game. The fogginess is a little annoying, but other than that, I don't know why it gets such bad reviews. There are two modes here- story and head to head. The levels are large, and the enemies are so dumb they're funny. The sound bytes are are also a riot, especially in two player mode. In two player mode, you can battle a friend in one of six arenas, using 20 or so South Park characters. The two best, though, are Stan and Kyle. Oh, and the movies in story mode are also humorous. I think they should've used the music from the chef's aid soundtrack for in game music, though. The control is very good, but not superb. The weapons are also great. Goldeneye made first-person games popular, and South Park added the humor.
what, i have to give this "game" one star?!

People, i wrote this review to warn whatever of you out there want to buy this game.This will make even the most die hard game fans throw their playstations out the window.The games has most of the characters(whoopie...)which are represented with sub bar graphics and pitifull level desighn amoungst other things.the games boring.I rented it and it literally got old after 5 minutes of gameplay.If there is one redemable factor about this game its that you can laugh at how utterly stupid it is.Avoid this nerf dung at all costs.
This is horrible....

Being a South Park fan, I was looking forward to this title. However, it is SO repetitive and annoying...the turkey level alone goes on FOREVER. Friends of mine have had the same reaction. It's a first-person shooter (or should we say first-person snowballer) that just has you running around the town of South Park throwing snowballs at turkeys. Yeah, I know, according to the packaging, that the game evolves into some sort of space/zombie creature thing, and you're supposed to save the town, but I never got that far due to the overlong turkey-shooting level...when I saw the average 4-star rating, I knew I had to respond. Perhaps younger people will like this due to the character tie-in, but this 34-year-old was bored and disappointed in this title.
