South Park: The Stick Of Truth - 10 Fan Favourites Missing From The Final Game

2. Saddam Hussein

One of the most surprising aspects of Stick of Truth is that Saddam Hussein - a classic South Park villain who has been the butt of many hilarious jokes and villainous antics - is not present in the game, especially considering that the nature of video games typically calls for interesting villains. Whether it was spoofing Saddam Hussein through the unforgettable film Bigger, Longer and Uncut, or episodes shortly after 9/11, Parker and Stone clearly love riffing on the guy. It's also hilarious to watch considering that it's Saddam Hussein's face plastered over cardboard cut-out animation. Another small flaw with Stick of Truth itself is that it does lack a truly memorable villain. Sure, the twist at the end is amusing as well as the government getting involved, but it feels that Trey and Matt could have gone for something much larger in scope, especially considering that video games require no narrative restraint. Potential Reasons Not Included: The most logical reasoning is that Trey Parker and Matt Stone are simply burned out on the character, as he hasn't been featured in episodes for quite some time.
