Obsidian turn South Park into a hilarious RPG with extraordinary visual fidelity to Matt Stone and Trey Parker's show. Turn-based combat plays it safe but the jokes fire constantly, the storytelling switches between scatological mayhem and epic heroism, and the result remains an absolute peak among licensed comedy games.

"Masterful"
Absolute faithfulness to the show's paper cut-out style: garish flats, deliberately stuttering animation and visual humour compose a genuine playable episode. The accuracy of the rendering fools the eye, so much does it resemble the cartoon. This visual direction, faithful and clever, delights fans with perfect precision.
A newcomer to a deranged little town, a silent kid finds himself enlisted in a live-action role-play that spirals out of control. Faithful to the show's corrosive humour, the tale parodies the fantasy RPG with full-blown irreverence. This trashy, clever satire, far more written than it looks, delights fans and players alike.

South Park - The Stick of Truth (Xbox 360) price, value & rarity
South Park The Stick of Truth, an Obsidian RPG of remarkable fidelity to the animated show's spirit and art, praised for its writing and biting humor. Still common, its collector interest rests on this successful adaptation of a cult license rather than scarcity. A piece valued by fans of the show and of offbeat RPGs on the console, accessible boxed and well regarded.
Is South Park - The Stick of Truth still worth playing in 2026?
Released in 2014 on Xbox 360, Obsidian Entertainment's South Park The Stick of Truth, written by the show's creators, is a hilarious role playing game that perfectly reproduces the visual style of the animated series. You play a new kid drawn into an imaginary war between humans and elves, in an adventure packed with references and biting humour. The turn based combat system, simple but effective, supports exceptional writing. The short running time is the only real downside. For fans of the show, lovers of light role playing and irreverent humour, this title keeps a strong appeal today.
