10 Kart Racing Games You Won't Believe Exist

When it comes to TV crossing over with video games, few shows have been as consistently good as South Park.

Trey Parker and Matt Stone's animated offend-a-thon has produced two very positively-reviewed games - 2014's The Stick of Truth and 2017's The Fractured But Whole.

However, not even South Park can be good 100% of the time, as they proved with 1999's South Park Rally.

The game, developed by Acclaim, was released on the Nintendo 64, the PlayStation, and the Sega Dreamcast. The story mode saw some of South Park's more notable residents competing in a rally championship and featured such power-ups as Mr. Hankey and... Saddam Hussein. This is a South Park game after all.

The title received mixed reviews, with sites praising the humour and tone of the game, but lambasting everything else.

This led to Parker and Stone denouncing their relationship with Acclaim, who had published the two previous South Park projects as well. The show's creators had nothing to do with the development of the games, aside from lending their voices to some of the characters, and these poor reviews were the final nail in the coffin of their relationship with Acclaim.
