It doesn’t quite keep up with the same bizarre story from last time – one involving aliens, suppository nuclear device and an aborted Nazi zombie foetus – but this is still v ery much a South Park story, if slightly more grounded.ĭue to the tangents, some of the boss battles are dropped in from out of nowhere and were always a pleasant surprise. What then follows is typical South Park with the story going off in complete tangents that make little sense in relation to where they started, but are consistently funny.

The episode tie-in for the game, season 21’s aptly named Franchise Prequel, explains why the group have a massive falling-out that creates a civil war between Cartmans ’ Coon and Friends group and Timmys ’ AKA Doctor Timothys ’ Freedom Pals. The Coon is keen to get his superhero franchise off the ground in what is a clear nod to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and he sees a missing cat poster offering a reward of $100 as the perfect way to do so. My concern is that a person playing this that did not have an interest in the TV show would feel to o restricted, because the payoff of the humour would not hit home as hard. All this aside though, I was still having a thoroughly good time and regularly laughing along, and any fan of South Park will not be disappointed. I could argue though that sometimes it felt like I was watching an interactive episode of South Park as I almost had a bread crumb trail between objectives. But I was concerned with just how far it was going to restrict me, when so many other games appear to be putting player choice front and centre in contrast.īut I at least understood why the game felt like it wanted me to play their way because if I did it my way, I would miss most of the humour and not get the true South Park experience. This is all very much in keeping with the humour of South Park in the sense that no gender/race/religion/business is safe from their brand of humour.

The point of this early anecdote from the game is that it instantly wanted me to know that this game had a set path for me to take, and would ridicule me if I tried to deviate from said path. As a Philadelphia Eagles fan, this in parts made me laugh, but mainly got me cursing Tom Brady’s name once again as a massive cheat. Unfortunately, I was then greeted by Ca rtman dressed as Bill Belichick – head co ach of the New England Patriots – calling me a cheater and referring to me as Tom Brady. I tried my luck and inputted the code (F***-You-Mom) without exploring Cartman ’ s room. Thus, when it came to me starting the game and trying to unlock the door to the Coon and Friends lair, I already knew the password from watching the video.
