First a First person Shooter, Then a Multiplayer Party game, Now the South Park gang are Go- Kart racing. (what's next, South Park Football???)
This is the first Kart game rated mature. (and for good reason) While most of the language is bleeped out. there are some adult content. (you'll get the idea as you continue reading)
This Kart game has most all your favorite characters from South Park. There's a lot of characters to open in this game. 30 in all. If it's a character from South Park he's/she's here.
There's more play modes in this game then any other Kart game known. Rally, Tag, Collecting Items and Combat to name a few.
The humor is this game follows South Park from almost every episode. You'll have weapons like Mexican Staring Frog, Kitty, Sparky, Pink Eye, Barf, Explosive Diarrhea, Mr. Hankey, Phillip Phart, Anal Probe, Stealing Gnomes, A Hooker with Herpes, and Spooky Vision.
(Well it's original)
The Tracks are also unique from other Kart games due to its freedom.
You don't have to be set on a oval track. You can find your own short cuts.
There's also major obstacles that will knock you for a loop. Buses, Plows, Trains, just to name a few. Also there's pointless obstacles like cows, goats, bears, and other wild life.
The graphics are rather plan and flat, but so is the South Park cartoon so you can't complain to much. The Sound is mostly clips from the TV show. but it has a low quality that sounds like they just recorded it straight off the TV.
The gameplay is fun and is great as a multiplayer game. The control holds up with only a few setbacks. The secrets are endless in this game, tons of secret characters, modes & tracks. Some earned by beating a track, others by completing a task.
Overall, If your a big South Park fan you'll get some enjoyment out of South Park Rally.
If your not a fan and want to play a good Kart Racer, check out Crash Team Racing first.
And if you hate all Kart racers then "Screw you guys, I'm going home."
