1. It's A Love Letter To The Show's Most Passionate Fans
Above being Trey Parker and Matt Stone's attempt to finally create a South Park game worthy of the show, is an unshakable feeling that the entire experience is meant to be one giant love letter to the fans that have given them viewership for 17 seasons and counting. For example as soon as the short forced tutorial is over the game opens up and there is a wealth of content for ecstatic fans to explore. Chances are the first thing anyone does after finishing the tutorial is run up to Cartman's room just to explore something that you really don't have the pleasure of doing so in any non-interactive medium. Simply put, the amount of Easter eggs and references in Cartman's room alone could fill up a top 10 feature on our site (give it a minute - Ed.). It doesn't stop there though; every little nook and cranny of the 15 hour experience as littered with references to the show. Roughly 80% of the junk items have some sort of correlation to a past episode, ranging from a Faith +1 CD, Butter's novel The Poop That Took A Pee, a broken Barry Bonds baseball bat, a DVD of The Lion King, a Brad Pitt survival kit, and literally hundreds more. This is a South Park game worthy of the show, but its praise deserves to be taken one step further. It is an early Game of the Year contender and one of the best, most relentlessly entertaining games of all time.
