10 Video Games That Had No Right Being THIS Good
2. South Park: The Stick Of Truth
As mentioned already a couple of times on this list, movie and television tie-in video games are usually very low quality but this article already examined a few cases where they have actually excelled. South Park: The Stick of Truth is another example of this.
Perhaps one of the reasons for this is that the show's creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone actually wrote the game and had involvement in the development to ensure it was true to their original vision. This is a role-playing game set in South Park where you take on the mantle of the new kid, a character you create to team up with familiar favourites from the long-running cartoon.
The Stick of Truth features a turn based combat system with a range of classes that include Fighter, Thief, Mage and... Jew. In a ridiculous fantasy story, you battle your way through a cast of elves, humans, wizards, elves and Nazi zombies in familiar settings that often call back to classic South Park episodes.
For a game based on a cartoon television show, The Stick of Truth delivers a truly fun role playing video game experience that rightfully received an equally excellent sequel, the Fractured but Whole.
