Amazon.com Review

To date, every computer or video game based on South Park has been terrible. The good news for fans of the show is that South Park Rally isn't all bad. The bad news is that it's mostly bad, and the novelty of the game wears off quickly.

The idea here is a go-cart style rally race through the town of South Park. Players can control most of the show's major and minor characters, though only a handful of these are accessible at the beginning of the game. The rest become available as you win some races. Each of the characters--from Cartman to Chef to Starvin' Marvin--offers his own commentary throughout each race, chiding you when you're losing and taunting your opponents when you pull ahead. This is primarily where the appeal of the game shines through. Comments like Chef's "Ooh baby!" and Cartman's "Respect my authori-tah!" will almost certainly earn chuckles from players as they make their way around the track.

Unfortunately, that's a pretty lame thrill to take away from a game. The races themselves aren't very exciting and they become repetitive almost immediately. There are only so many times you can race around a track picking up items like anal probes and barf before the novelty wears thin.

Needless to say, South Park Rally will have zero appeal to anyone who hates the TV show. Unfortunately, it will have only limited appeal to those who do like the show. --Michael E. Ryan

Pros:

• Captures the look, feel, and sounds of the show
• Some funny commentary
• Simple to play

Cons:

• Boring and repetitive
• Sound effects get old in a hurry
• Not much depth to this game

Got time to kill? ... Well, grab the joystick and spend some ... throwing chocolate salty balls at the South Park characters as you race around town. It's not easy, but nonetheless requires minimum grey matter to learn. Not worth skipping the next dime for, but if you have a few extra dollars and still haven't grown up from liking South Park, yup, this is your game.
