"After three delays, South Park: The Stick of Truth is finally here! Originally to be published by THQ, the RPG was planned for release in March, 2013. It wasn’t long after it’s first delay to just a month later in April that THQ infamously filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy. In their assets auction, Ubisoft bought the publishing rights to the title, confirming a second delay to December of the same year. The final delay saw that date changed to March, 2014. Fans of Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s iconic TV show have waited a long time, and expectations were held high throughout. If the game bombed – after an entire year of delays – the disappointment would be immense. Luckily, South Park: The Stick of Truth forces us to respect its authoritah and delivers."
Over the last 25 years, there has been a fair few South Park games, and here GameSpew has ranked them all from best to worst.
We are going to see a lot of crap South Park products since they sold out to paramount years ago. It's their IP they can sell out, of course; it just means the quality of their show has tanked and other products as well. Nevertheless, they put on excellent musicals, but those haven't been sold to a mega corporation.
Loved the RPGs but never played the others. Have to track them down. Still not sure about Snow Day though.
The South Park series has somehow managed to stay relevant for over 25 years, but which are the best games based on the TV show?
The only two worth playing are Stick of truth and fractured but whole. The rest were garbage except snow day which I can't say anything about yet. But with that said, unlike stick and fractured which debuted as AAA full priced titles by ubisoft, snow day is a new developer and publisher and has a budget price at only $30 soooo
Feeling sad and on the verge of splurging on unnecessary stuff? Drop that credit card, amigo and come read about the funniest PS4 games!
I see Deadpool made the list. Also saw it in stock at the local game store. Second hand. Might finally pick up a copy.
