Synopsis
For a thousand years, the battle has been waged. The sole reason humans and elves are locked in a never ending war: The Stick of Truth. But the tides of war are soon to change as word of a new kid spreads throughout the land, his coming foretold by the stars. As the moving vans of prophecy drive away, your adventure begins.

Gameplay
In the Stick of Truth, you play as your very own South Park character in a role playing type of game. Also, this game is played in 2.5D. You take control of the New Kid in South Park. The game is openly free roam with a main mission constraint as well. There are a lot of characters that make their way from the show into this game; some of which are, Cartman, Butters, Stan, and Kyle. The game features a fast travel system that uses Timmy and his chair and a little red wagon to carry the player around quickly. Lastly, the classes of the game are as follows; Fighter, Thief, Mage, and Jew. (If you choose Jew as a class, Cartman, will never like you as a character)
Plot
The New Kid in town has moved in and is trying to start a new and make some friends in the Colorado town of, South Park! He joins the game world joining the other children of South Park who are playing their own variation of Dungeon and Dragons! Cartman and the other warriors of Kupa Keep then show the New Kid the coveted "Stick of Truth." Short after the elves attack Kupa Keep and take the stick. Later that night, the New Kid, nicknamed "Douchebag" and many other of the town residents are abducted by aliens. Douchebag escapes with the help of Randy, Stan's father, in which they crash the ship into the town's mall. In the morning the government has already covered up what happened by saying there is going to be a Taco Bell built where the ship crashed. After Douchebag is again tasked with returning the once again stolen Stick of Truth, he is also tasked with recruiting for both sides, elves and humans. Douchebag later figures out that the alien goo found on the space ship is being held by the government and if ingested by humans will turn them into Nazi Zombies. So, in layman's terms, you are playing the role playing game with your new found friends, also while fighting against the government!
Story
The story of this game is different to say the least. The combat and style of the game feels like most other role playing games with the difference that the characters, humor, and storyline is something true to South Park. The game is funny, hilarious actually. The combat and storyline to this game are also actually amazing, a lot better than what I expected! This story will have South Park fans entertained as well as people have never heard of South Park until this game. It is a very enjoyable game and is well worth a play! However, the game is pretty crude at times, there is some blood, and lots of cursing, so be forewarned if that isn't your thing.
Graphics
The graphics of this game are true to those of South Park the TV show. They keep the graphics the same for the game as they did in the show. They don't look bad, as that is the way the designers wanted this game to be portrayed, as a South Park game, which it is and very well I might add. The game has some pretty scenes and some pretty cool visual effects within the game and will amaze most users that care a lot about the graphics of a game.
Controls
The controls are very simple and are used mostly like any other role playing game. They have a heavy and light attack, long range attacks, potions and what not, etc. There are also options to turn on or off to help new players that display what button to press and what not to help teach everyone how to actually play the game. The layout of controls for this game is very nice and there are no complaints within this section, from me anyways!
Ratings
Gameplay - 8.5/10
Plot - 9.5/10
Story - 8.5/10
Controls - 8.5/10
Graphics - 8/10
Overall - 9.5/10
Personal Note: This game is funny to say the least. It will have your sides hurting from laughing and your cheeks hurting from smiling. This is true to the characters and story of South Park the TV show and so if you love the show you will love the game in turn. Also, if you haven't played or watched South Park before I also think that this game will entertain you as well. It should be noted that this game curses quite often, there is some blood, dirty/sexual references, etc so if any of that isn't your thing then you have been forewarned!
