Wow..... wow, what to say? As an established South Park fan I guess I was always going to go into this game with an apologist mindset trying my hardest to love the game; hoping that maybe after a poor track record, like every other licencesed property in the games industry, that the game would be even half to South Park what Arkham Asylum was to Batman. I did not expect this.

I ******* loved this game, and was overwhelmed with a sense of dread and sadness as I neared its conclusion, very few games have triggered that reaction. The characters, humour, graphics, animations, plot, soundtrack and general feel of the game were all absolutely nailed and I can't think of a single major flaw with the game. The closest I can get to a flaw is the length, people blasting through the main story as fast as possible might finish the game in just 8-9 hours, those who stretch it out with exploration, side quests and farting on as many people as possible can push above 25 hours in a single playthrough but when you compare that with the 100+ hours of a lot of other open world RPGs it DOES leave you wanting more. However, I'm left wondering whether that's better when compared to how Skyrim and Fallout 3/New Vegas, three of my favourite games ever, simply petered out for me, eventually withering away into boredom and eventual uninstallment whereas I'm being dragged away from South Park kicking and screaming. Die young and all that.

This isn't a game for only the most die-hard of fans, in fact the only people I wouldn't recommend the game to are the fuddy duddies who despise South Park and its humour, either getting offended by it or simply not finding it funny in the least. This is not the game for such fuddy duddies. For everyone else though, this game is amazing and completely worth the £40/$60 in my opinion, they could have retroactively charged double and I would still have paid it.
