The South Park game for the N64 showed great potential, since at the time the show was watched by millions of viewers. Despite this fact, I can't see how someone could like this game that much. When I first played it, I got some what hooked on it. It is fun to play at first, with the turkeys, robots and the weapons you get, but after a while it get's plain irritating.

 

Basically, you have to destroy the Aliens, evil turkeys, robots, and toy monsters that are terrozing south park. The game was based on previous episodes. The game was expected to be a hit, since it also broughymulit player and every character from the hit tv series.

The problems with this game were as follows: 1) The irrating noises the characters make. At first, it may be funny to hear Cartman curse of Kile to wimper yet it get's plain irretating when you hear it every 10 seconds. (This problem occured with South Park racing also) 2) The plot is not strong enough to get in to. You may think to yourself that this is not a problem- since Mario Bros did not exactly have a final fantasy plot to it, yet a decent game needs a decent plot in order to succeed in the video game world. South Park's theme was to kill the aliens-Big Deal. Or kill the head turkey-Big Deal. With 64 bit graphics maybe they could throw in a twist to it. 3) The music is horrible. Just plain horrible. One more problem with this bust by Nintendo- 4) The multi player mode. The multi player mode in South Park is too slow, with all the guns and dumb character noises- and the places that you fight get annoying, just like the game.

 

The one good thing I liked about this game is that the codes were pretty funny, other wise please, don't even bother to spend 10 bucks on this game, use it wisely on other games. - The trackjunkie 70%
