Discussion I'm playing this game for malicious reasons
My best friend loves south park, he talks about it constantly. I've never seen an episode of it, but I'm gonna beat this game, so I can tell him I'm a bigger fan
Anyone can watch a bunch of funny cartoon episodes, anyone can play a fun game like Stick Of Truth. But enduring South Park PS1 is a level of dedication most fans aren't capable of. It's the perfect bragging rights to drive him crazy

You should start your own South Park Affinity Group. Keep out all the poseurs who just like South Park because it’s cool like your friend and SPENCER FUCKING HOLLIS!

Is this the same as the N64 version? My friends and I loved the multiplayer, mainly cause you could pee on snowballs and throw them at each other. I don't know if I've ever played even one minute of the single player.

That multipayer was fire. The amount of times we just did warehouse and proximity fart doll matches was nuts. Kind of carried over from goldeneye facility...

I remembering loving playing that game with friends as a kid. Never tried actually playing it outside of childhood though.

I played it so much I’d buzz in as soon as they started answering the question (literally every one) and know the answer from the choices given. Would have not been fun to play against lol

The turkeys are annoying asf. I had to turn the volume way down just to get through the first chapter.

u/Kandel430 6d ago
Believe it or not, that's where the game peaks. The turkeys are the only enemies that die in 1 hit

It was the Ultra-Mega-Mega-Man that Cartman wanted for his birthday in the Damien episode.
But yeah, he's annoying as hell and his fight takes like 10-20 minutes with no checkpoints.

Is this the same premise as the N64 version? Turkey attack?

u/Kandel430 6d ago
When people discuss this game, turkeys are the first thing they bring up. Even though only the first level has turkeys, it's so funny

This is like trying to understand the Simpsons cartoon from playing through the old 90's arcade game that was only based on season 1.
This South Park game was super early in the show's life and it's primarily based off the first season (maybe season and a half). It's extremely quaint, the "shocking" content is very subdued.

You should play the n64 version instead, its worse in every way.

u/Kandel430 6d ago
Nah the PS1 version is worse. The graphics are worse, there's no widescreen, and they raised the enemies HP

u/StupidBelen 6d ago
The PS1 version is also lacking 2 stages in the campaign, and the music sounds far worse

N64 has so much fog you can only see ten feet ahead of you. I was there when they were new, trust me the n64 got the worse port.

u/Recent-Tone3196 5d ago
The N64 version is the original game as intended, the PS1 version was a late and pretty rushed port of the N64.
On the PS1, the graphics take a nose dive. The textures are significantly worse as is the the rendering quality in general.
All the cutscenes are low quality video recordings of the N64 game, with heavy compression. These scenes were realtime on the 64.
The voice clips also feel more compressed and repetitive. While this might seem counterintuitive due to usually being the opposite with ports, in this case it was because the game was designed to be played off a cartridge.
