Based on the animated series, it plays like a full-fledged episode…
Friends of politeness and good manners, here is the game that will make you faint. Irreverent since its debut in 1997, the American animated series "South Park" blows up political correctness and good taste on our screens, big and small.
Seventeen years later, "South Park: The Stick of Truth," available on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC, plays like a full-fledged episode of the series. First, it features all the show's iconic characters: Mr. Garrison, Mayor McDaniels, Officer Barbrady… Along with scatological, outrageous and razor-sharp humor.
It's war! The humans of the kingdom of Kupa Keep are locked in conflict with the elves for control of the "Stick of Truth," a magical artifact. In reality, the "Stick of Truth" is nothing more than an ordinary piece of wood, and the war between humans and elves is simply a live-action role-playing game for the children of South Park. And as usual in the universe created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone in 1997, events quickly descend into absurdity with aliens, underwear-stealing gnomes and Nazi zombies.

Mage, thief, warrior or Jew
You play as "the New Kid," who has just moved to town with his parents. As potential friends, he finds Cartman as an angry Gandalf, as well as Princess Kenny and Leopold "Butters" Stotch, Stan and Kyle… They are all watching over "the Stick of Truth," which is stolen by other kids, the dark elves… Because "South Park: The Stick of Truth" is a hilarious, two-dimensional parody of fantasy role-playing games. From the start, players are invited to choose from four classes: mage, thief, warrior or… Jew.
Jesus mows down enemies with a machine gun
As in any respectable role-playing game, you will have to complete quests, level up and equip your character, with the town of South Park serving as the setting for a makeshift Middle-earth. The missions? Go find a teammate stuck in class, recruit goths, fight homeless people… During turn-based battles, you can call on summons: Jesus mows down enemies with a machine gun, while Mr. Slave makes them disappear by sitting on them.

"Cartman has an anal probe"
The parody continues, since the characters you meet become Facebook friends, leaving hilarious messages on a wall that Al Gore regularly spams, as well as in the inventory. The game pays tribute to the pilot and the series' first episode, "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe," in which you encounter those famous aliens who plant radio telescope antennas in the rectum.
Trey Parker and Matt Stone at the helm
Highly respectful of the series, since its creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone themselves, assisted by Obsidian Entertainment, were in charge of creating the video game. "My first ambition for the game was to make a 'South Park' version of 'Skyrim,'" Parker told
The New York Times.
However, publisher THQ's bankruptcy in 2012 delayed the game's development. After Ubisoft acquired the rights, the game was able to launch a year late. "South Park: The Stick of Truth" brings a breath of fresh air to video games—one that blends into the blast of a fart.
