Sequel to the award-winning South Park game
South Park: The Fractured But Wholeis a premiumrole-playinggame from developer Ubisoft San Francisco. It is thehighly anticipated sequelto the first South Park: The Stick of Truth. Players will don thesuperheromasks ofcrime fightersand take on some of the city’s most notorious criminal villains.
Much like the originalSouth Park: The Stick of Truthgame, the new South Park: The Fractured But Whole game retains the same art style that closely mirrors the TV show and features even morehumorous situationsandconversational quipsthat made its predecessor popular with fans.
Does it surpass The Stick Of Truth?
Many people will argue that the South Park: The Fractured But Whole gamesurpasses the Stick of Truth, but the fact is that both games are equally good, equally fun, and equally exciting. The only difference is that when the first was released, people legitimately said they had never played a game like this before—but they cannot say the same for the sequel. Is that a flaw? No, it is not, but it is certainly something that the first has and the second doesn’t.
The game isa really good RPG game. The side quests are bags of fun, and the non-stop gags, jokes, and references are simply hilarious. Even if only one out of ten jokes hits home, you will still be laughing every ten minutes. They have squeezed a lot ofcontent from their showinto the game, and as you can see by the trailer, they have also referenced a great deal of content from the Marvel and DC movies and production companies.
Is it just for South Park fans?
You do not have to be a South Park fan to love South Park: The Fractured But Whole, to understand it, or to play it. The jokes stand on their own and each reference is as applicable to fans as it is to people who have never heard of South Park. For example, non-South Park fans will understand references to comic book movies and how they are produced.
The only benefit that South Park fans enjoy over non-fans (besides the novelty) is that they will get the jokes faster. Another example is a person who has never heard of South Park may not know who PC Principal is, but once he has told his first gag or done his first funny thing, any player will understand it and get it.Thegraphics are very sophisticated, despite the fact it is a 2D side-scrolling game, and much of the scenery and environment is either destructible or partially destroyable.
The game has an18+ ratingbecause, despite the fact that it is clearly a cartoon, there is still plenty of sex, violence, and bad language. This is not a game for kids, and most kids won’t understand the adult themes and references either. The production values are far higher than what hardcore gamers have come to expect, both with the game and during the cut scenes.
Just as fun as the first
After the Stick of Truth, people were crying out for more, and that is exactly what Matt, Trey, and Obsidian gave them.The game isjust as funny, well-made, andexcitingas the first. The storyline is probably the best of any game in recent years, even if it is not the most sophisticated. They have genuinely put the entertainment value back into gaming because you will be entertained throughout.
