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

5. New Kid Abilities

Infamous had electricity, and South Park has magic farts. Whether it's hard to believe or not, the ability to light a fart on fire and cause an explosion that incapacitate enemies before even triggering a battle is just the tip of the iceberg on how ludicrous the environmental interaction abilities are. Quite possibly the most ingenious ability in the game harkens back to the very first episode of the show, and sees your character getting an anal probe that somehow allows a giant satellite dish to emerge from the rectum. With this stupidly brilliant ability players will be able to teleport into various secret areas if a transmitter is nearby. Teleportation may be one of the oldest abilities in the lore of gaming, but never has it been done quite like this. Rounding things out is an ability which allows The New Kid to shrink down in size and explore other inaccessible areas of South Park. Again, it's not necessarily a revolutionary ability, but the context and justification for it are genuinely brilliant.
