South Park: The Stick Of Truth - 12 Reasons It's Awesome

8. Ridiculous Weapons And Items

It shouldn't come as a surprise, but the humongous selection of weapons and items available at your disposal are also pretty wild and exaggerated. Everything from dodgeballs to swords and even Jimmy's crutch, to the claw of legendary fabled beast of South Park lore Manbearpig are all fair game. Weapons and equipment can be enhanced with status effects €“ wittily satirised with traits like being p*ssed off or grossed out - in the form of patches dubbed as weapon 'strap-ons'. Also, the most basic of traditional RPG items have received the South Park twist as recognised items of the show such as Cheesy Poofs, Snacky Cakes, tacos and more all serve as ways to refuel your health and mana. Furthermore, if you overindulge on the tacos and exceed your mana bar beyond its capacity, your character will literally s*** himself. The system may be quite basic and a faithful implementation of potentially outdated traditional turn-based combat, but the South Park humour plastered all over makes it stand out as one of the most memorable in a long time.
