A party rental, at best

Plodding first-person shooter with tons of fog to conceal thegraphic weaknesses. One-player missions are tedious. Only redeemingfeature is to play the two-player game with other "South Park" fans, and then only if you've gotten the codes to unlock favorite characters.

Even with friends, you'll tire of it in a day.

So much potential!

I love South Park and I really hoped that this game would do the show justice, but I found that I was very disappointed with the graphics and the sound. I was hoping to see the boys in action, but all I saw was one of their arms that was supposed to be an extension of me. I also agree with the other reviewer that had trouble with the white on white setting. It can also be a little tough for people who are prone to motion sickness. South Park 2 ..please!

Boring, Boring and Boring

I simply find the game ordinary and boring. I really love the TV-show and was very much looking forward to the game.

Man I was dissapointed!

There is nothing new in the game. It is simply an ordinary shoot 'em up including the characters from South Park.

Admitted: There are a few funny features in the game, the cow-shooting gun, Mr. Hanky the christmas Poo but even these things gets quite boring after a very short while.

My advise is: Enjoy the TV-show and use your playstation for something else.

Do I sense the words cash in?

Why did they bother with this? Acclaim said "All South park fans will love this... Captures the show's humour perfectly..." Since when? I have never played such unfunny, unplayable tripe in all my life! Firstly the gameplay, terrible is my view. Foggy vision, humourless weaponry and a terrible idea for a plot!

The characters for the game are even worse! listening to Stan shouting rubbish such as "You mother ......! I kick your ...!" after being hit just gets extremely annoying!

If you are a fan of the show you'll buy a video set and enjoy it. Rather than tarnish the name of a hit comedy by playing this rushed awful package!

Avoid it!

You would be better off watching the show then the game

South Park is a funny show, but once I heard they had a game for the PlayStation all was lost. This game has no meaning. All you do is play as Kenny, Kyle and the gang and throw snowballs at giant turkey's. Basically all you do is just shoot at flat characters from the show. You'll lose interest in this game in 3 minutes flat! Don't buy this junk. Watch the show instead

Fun, but gets boring quickly

This game is fun when you first play it, but once you see all the things you can do, you get bored with it quickly. The graphics parralell the animated show, but that isn't hard considering the low graphics SP is known for. All in all, it is worth renting for a night, but definitley not worth buying.

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.

If you like South Park...........

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.

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.
