South Park : The Stick Of Truth
This video features the beginning of the game (to minimize spoiler)
This game is a Turn-Based RPG.
The story takes place immediately after South Park Ep 9 Season 17 :
You are the new child in the town, you meet south park's children in their epic fantasy based role playing game : The Stick Of Truth.
The game is -FULL- of references to the animated serie, and there's really many secerts and little things to be found in the little town of South Park;
It is played like you'd be watching a south park's episode: the sprites, the graphics effects, the way the camera moves and follow the characters, sound and voices : You will soon forget you're playing a game, You will trully enjoy the show.
On a gameplay note, every single action during fights (attacking, using spells, blocking attacks ...) requires you to play; ie: you're not just selecting an action in a menu : you have to mouse click, mash a button, enter a sequence of key presses, etc... precisely to perform the move. Giving it a really great 'action' feeling ( which is good for a turn based game) : fights can't be done without staying focused.
If you're a fan of this great animated series, go on, this game's good !
(On a side note, as reminder, this game's NOT appropriate for children)
