Don't Buy This Game!!
Date of Review: May 2, 2000
There are a few key things wrong with this game.
One) Graphics: they aren't true to the cartoon. The images simply don't look like Cartman, Kenny, Garrison, etc. The only one that even comes vaguely close is Chef. There are only a few facial expressions which are too simple to justify their small quantity...how bout some variation.
Two) Predictability: it wasn't five minutes of playing this game that I was running into the same trivia questions, and consequently the same "mini-games". Not only is this repetitive, but it takes all the challenge out of the game. This is especially true when playing with 3-4 people, and one person knows all the answers. After a few days I felt like I had seen all the questions.
Three) Quality: The programming is reminiscent of stuff we saw on the original Sega, no, wait, I take that back, Sonic was leagues ahead of this game. It's not even a veiled attempt at 3-D, and again (I'm sorry kids, don't get me wrong, I've been watching SP when it was just the santa scene on the internet) the GRAPHICS!! They're just flat bad. The sound samples are few and repetitive (as is this review) and they sound more synthesized than the original SP, which I still have and like very much.
Those of you out there that have read any of my reviews know I am more longwinded and detailed in my reviews. Not this time. I feel like such a CHUMP laying down almost $60(!!!!!!!!!) for this game only to find that it just plain blows. What's worse is that when I went to a local reseller, they would only give me $8 in-store credit only.....because they had too many!! They couldn't give it away. Clearly I made the key error of not playing before I bought. My bad, I can only blame myself.
I am really not one to trash a product. I have a Nintendo and I love it, I am also a looong time SP fan, but this game needs to be avoided at any cost, period. Soon I will post reviews of my faves, thanks for taking the time to read this.
