The show earned critical acclaim early on, and it wasn’t long until Acclaim made a deal with the showrunners to develop video games based on the series.
Years later, creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker took the game franchise into their own hands, approaching Obsidian to create the next generation of South Park Games.
SOUTH PARK: CHEF’S LUV SHACK
Chef’s Luv Shack is the worst South Park Games, and it’s not even close. The game was designed as a Mario Party rip-off with the South Park kids. The setting changed from a board game to a game show, with Issac Hayes Chef as the host.
SOUTH PARK RALLY
South Park Rally beats out Chef’s Luv Shack, but not by much. Rally is a rip-off of Mario Kart, like Chef’s Luv Shack, was a rip-off of Mario Party. Also, like Chef’s Luv Shack, there is little fun to be found in this Kart racer.
SOUTH PARK
The first game Acclaim released based on the Comedy Central property was their best, but that isn’t saying much. South Park is a first-person shooter, putting you in the shoes of one of their four children while they defend the town from a host of enemies.
SOUTH PARK: TENORMANS REVENGE
Scott Tenorman is most famously remembered for eating a bowl of chili made with the remains of his parents. This made him cry like a little baby in front of Radiohead, who ceremoniously named him “uncool.”
SOUTH PARK LET’S GO TOWER DEFENSE PLAY!
Let’s Go Tower Defense Play! was the first South Park game released almost a decade after the horrendous original trilogy. It’s another Xbox Live Arcade exclusive and one of the best South Park games.
SOUTH PARK: THE FRACTURED BUT WHOLE
South Park: The Fractured but Whole features not only the best double entendres in-game names, but it’s also a genuinely fun and funny RPG. And it’s only gotten better post-release with the meaningful DLC that’s been added.
