The title has been designed to play like an episode of South Park and the way the gameplay and cut scenes blend seamlessly together really help to achieve this goal - there were moments where the video had finished and I didn’t realise I was back in control. From this point on, chaos ensues.įrom the minute you choose your skin colour to decide the difficulty of the game - white is the easiest, black is the hardest - you understand the game is layered with jokes stretching beyond traditional humour. You play the role of “the new kid” who is given a super hero origin story by The Coon (Cartman’s alter-ego).įirst tasked with finding Cartman’s cat, you soon discover a plot to raise crime in South Park from a stripper named Classi. Picking up just one day after 2014’s South Park: The Stick of Truth, the sequel ditches swords and spells to see the foul-mouthed fourth graders taking on the super hero genre. Just like with the long-running cartoon, Trey Parker and Matt Stone were responsible for writing, voicing and directing the game, which plays like a feature length South Park movie. This is just one of the many offensive and highly topical jokes explored in the new video game South Park: The Fractured But Whole.

My selection had no impact because the hilarious cutscene with Mr Mackey and subsequent battle with a truck full of rednecks was pre-planned to happen regardless of my choice. I HAD to pick my gender and the options were cisgender, transgender or gender-neutral.
