South Park has recently hit new heights as everyone will know. So now there have been posters, keyrings, soft toys, and loads more other South Park goodies. Here it is. The game. Are Acclaim jumping on the bandwagon or actually making a real game? The full review will come as soon as I can get my grubby hands on a copy. Meanwhile, I CAN show you very tasty screenshots, and tell you a bit more about it. And before you even ask, I like writing my own game reviews and I WON'T rip one off IGN.com or some other magazine. I'll announce when I've done the review, so come and check it out later.
South Park 64 is being developed by Acclaim, which is good news. They have produced quite a few games in the past, notably Turok 2 and Forsaken, both top quality N64 shooters. It will be released on the Playstation, N64, and PC, but there are rumors that a Game Boy version will also come out. After reading through other magazines, reviews have unfortunately not been good. Top magazines like N64 and Total Control gave the game low marks, and in Arcade magazine it recieved a 2 out of 5. The only magazine that rated it highly were Official Nintendo Magazine, but it seems to me that they're very biased anyway.
The Basic Storyline (it's very weak)
Every 666 years a comet gets near the Earth and threatens civilization as we know it. The comet isn't on a huge collision course or anything like that, but for some reason it will make all of the local turkeys revolt. That means it's up to you as Stan, Kyle, Cartman or Kenny to go and save South Park, using a variety of weapons from Terrance & Phillip fart dolls to Cow Launchers and Dodgeballs. (I told you the story was weak!)
