Advantages: This game is based on South Park. Disadvantages: Virtually everything about this game is a cheap, poorly-done SP rip-off. A total waste of time and money.
...all trembling with excitement when South Park 64 hit the shelves. It had a "Mature" rating, so we had to convince Mom to buy it for us (I was seventeen, and thus old enough to purchase it, but there was the problem of not having forty-five dollars U.S. funds to get the game - darn!) She gladly bought it, figuring that we would entertain ourselves for months with this game.
WRONG! It's a total pile of crap, one that I would not pay for again if my ... ...are one of the four South Park children (Cartman, Kyle, Stan, or Kenny). You all travel together in a group, attacking invaders of all kinds who are trying to take over your peaceful little mountain town of South Park, Colorado. You are armed with everything from snowballs to toilet plunger rockets - juvenile weapons if there ever were such a thing!
You attack such things as aliens and gigantic mutated turkeys, attempting to kill them off whilst ...

Advantages: Great Graphics And Sound Disadvantages: No Playability Whatsoever
...were going to make a South Park game, they got excited. Then came the screen shots. The graphics were crisp and clear, the best yet seen on the N64. The game, everyone thought, was going to be great. I mean how could Acclaim go wrong. The cartoon and all its merchandise were popular, and so would the game. Finally the game was finished. Everyone rushed out to buy it with great expectations.
As soon as you started the game great sound clips were ... ...comment by one of the South Park kids. Then you started level two. More turkeys came, and more snowballs were thrown. Then came level three. More turkeys came, and again more snowballs were thrown. And that’s when you realized that this was basically the whole game, and you’ve just wasted your hard earned 50 pounds on a boringly repetitive game.
It felt like Acclaim had just copied and pasted the same level again and again with a few ...

Advantages: South Park in 3D, authentic voice-overs, sweet weapons Disadvantages: The use of music isn't great, the action can be lacking
...shooting action so I gave South Park for the N64 a shot. I had enough of an idea what the cartoon was like but what little I've seen of it was many years ago. Developed by Iguana Entertainment, South Park uses the engine from their Turok 2: Seeds of Evil game.
The second Turok game was one where I had difficulty getting to grips with the controls. Here, you can choose to use either the To-rock or Brown-eye configurations (see what they did there ... ...this is how I felt South Park would appear if it was in 3D. In keeping with the cartoon though, the level of detail isn't great, and so the environments - not being as solid as they should be - come across as being bland.
Another boring factor is how during play the game tends to switch between two tunes - seemingly depending on whether you are indoors or outdoors. Then there's the limited sound effects, though the kid's occasional swearing - like ...

Advantages: funny ideas Disadvantages: not that complex in parts
...through the colourful world of South Park give a real feeling for the grotesque cartoon world. You can choose from several characters: Cartman, Kenny, Kyle or Stan, who don’t differ in any of their abilities, but do have their own individual vocabulary. In the beginning of each stage you have to search for the other three children. While doing that, in the first level you are being attacked by heaps of turkeys. Unfortunately, there aren’t any other ... ...tank, that you definitely need to get rid of. Otherwise, they’ll return in a kind of penalty level to destroy the town. In the following levels there is nearly always just one enemy type accompanied by larger tanks. At the second stage there are only mutants and robots in the fourth one. Only in level two (cows, aliens, UFOs) and five (toy tanks, demon dolls, and jumping devils) there is some change. Therefore, I don’t find the diversity of enemies ...

...failings to kill oversized turkeys, dull and predictable storyline - the typical things you would expect in a single player for a TV turned video game.
I admit I am a South Park fan but this, this is just sick.
Oh when you get that feeling... GET OUT. ...

Advantages: Can be smashed easily. Disadvantages: Smashing it isn't satisfing enough.
Objective: Reach End of Level. Kill all monsters on level.
Problem. About 200 monsters on each level. Is this a good thing? Far from it. The game is so repetitive, annoying, and just downright crap. I can't see how anyone one earth would want to play this game. I am a fan of the cartoon, but I find this game just completly insulting, just a cruddy tie in for the series. There is no rudeness or real vulgarity in it, and the levels are so linear its ...

Advantages: All of your favourite characters and catchphrases Disadvantages: Samey gameplay.
If you're a South Park fan you'll probably love this, if not there are plently of better games out there in the same genre - Turok etc. All of the characters are there, and the catchphrases. Doing varios things unlocks these characters for the Multiplayer option. The game itself is fairly simple, walk through the level shooting at the hoards of bad guys that fly at you, until you reach the end of the level, then shoot the huge bad guy. One of the ...

...opinion from me - this South Park game for the N64.. is worryingly bad.
As a big fan of South Park I was looking forward to having the game with its irreverant humour plugged into my console.
What a huge disappointment.
Firstly the gameplay is hugely repetitive, and I mean its the same over and over and over and over again.
Sure the characters are nice, there are plenty of samples, but theres nothing like the storyline of even a single episode!
... ...implemented, games last for ages, its hard to find peope and hard to kill people - defeating the point of the game entirely!
If you want a FP game - go for goldeneye (classic) or perfect dark (utterly awesome) and give South Park the wide berth it so deserves. ...

Advantages: Slightly funny at first Disadvantages: Very drawn out, monotonous, takes forever to beat the first level, etc.
When one thinks of South Park, one thinks of wonderful mind numbing fun. Unfortunately, you don't get much of that with this game. Its funny for the first five minutes, as you throw snowballs, yellow (urinated on) snowballs, and kill mutant turkeys that make that funny gobbling sound, and you find Chef. After that, it just gets boring, as you go throw cave after cave of endless snow, everything looks the same, and those turkeys just get annoying. ... ...circles and killing the same stupid turkeys over and over for about an hour, I finally found the big turkey. Not bad, but all that just for him?!!!!
Well, he killed me, and I was so bored stiff by that time, I just stopped, never to play again. Glad I got it at a Pawn Shop in the U.S. for the equivalent of about £1. Ah, I'd rather have bought some chips and soaked them in vinegar, much more fun.
I'll give it 2 stars just for the urine snowballs, ...

Advantages: Great Graphics, It's South Park Disadvantages: You have to complete One Player to get all multi-play character's
If you like South Park, Goldeneye or both you'll love this game. You can take control of Eric Cartman, Kyle Broslovski, Stan Marsh or Kenny Mc Cormick and can visit famous places like Chef's Shack O' Love, Tom's Rhinoplasty, the Town Hall and KJ's buffet, a place where Kenny's family can't afford to eat (In the word's of Cartman : because Kenny's family are so poor they had to put their Cardboard box up for a second mortgage) The game has great speech ...
