South Park
has entertained television viewers for more than 15 years with its raunchy
jokes, colorful characters, and politically incorrect humor. Its won awards; spawned a big screen movie; and
seen a number of video game releases. Unfortunately, the majority of the South
Park games are pretty weak, plagued
by lackluster gameplay, graphics, and sound. Some of the games, like the old South
Park first-person shooter, are more
playable than the others. But all of the South
Park games, even the bad ones, do a
nice job of capturing the show’s unique humor and charm. If you’re a big fan of
Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny,
then you might just want to check out some of these old South
Park video games.
The first South Park
video game was a first-person shooter released back in 1998 for the Nintendo
64, Sony PlayStation, and Windows PC. The game’s plot centers on a green comet
that’s turned the town’s turkeys into vicious monsters. Playing as one of the
boys, you’ll be able to take down turkeys and tanks with a variety of weapons,
including snowballs, dodge balls, and NERF guns. The graphics are rather simple
looking, just like the TV show. All of the characters are instantly
recognizable and voiced by the show’s creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone. South
Park’s gameplay is rather basic.
You’ll run through cabins, caves, and snow-covered fields shooting objects and
weapons at endless masses of mad turkeys. While South
Park breaks things up a bit with
some boss battles, the game can feel rather dull and repetitive after a while.
Fortunately, the game also features a competitive multiplayer mode that lets
you fight against your friends.
South Park:
Chef’s Luv Shack is a game show-themed game for the N64, Sega Dreamcast, Sony
PlayStation, and Windows PC. Playing as Stan, Kyle, Cartman, or Kenny, you’ll answer
trivia questions and compete in arcade-style mini-games. Naturally, Chef’s Luv
Shack is loaded with lots of South Park
humor, so you’ll be answering questions from categories like “Mighty
Hermaphrodite” and “Sucks, Or Canadian?” Up to four players can compete against
one another, making Chef’s Luv Shack an ideal party game. However, the game has
a small pool of questions, which means that you’ll run into repeats rather
quickly.
On the surface, South Park Rally looks like it has all the
makings for an entertaining and fun kart-based racer. It features a large
roster of South Park
characters; outrageous weapons like kittens and hookers; and a number of
hilarious sound bites. However, South Park Rally’s task-based gameplay and slippery
controls make the game feel like a chore. In fact, after just a few races,
you’ll likely find yourself screaming “Shenanigans!” It’s
easily the worst of the three Acclaim
South Park
video games.

video games from eBay today.
