I'm sure you're all familiar with Mario Party and it's constant sequels. Mario Party is a game enjoyed by many people. Fun mini games, good soundtrack, good controls, big arguments, violent bashing each other with your controllers until both of you bleed, long trip to the hospital, you basically get the idea. Many developers have tried to conquer the 4 player party game giant, but fail to succeed, despite some of them being quite fun. South Park: Chef's Love Shack is one of them. Does it succeed? No, but it's fun.




This party game has no real story. Chef is holding a game show for hot girls, only to be ruined by the iconic 4 boys appearing instead. Stan, Kyle, Eric and Kenny. So they start the game anyway. Party games never really have a story, and to everyone's surprise, Mario Party has no real story either. Ironically, Sonic Shuffle (Mario Party's biggest rival) had an actual story.




The game is very simple. You and friends get given questions to answer. You have to know quite a bit in order to answer correctly. Unfortunately, if you're like me then you will have to guess, since quite a lot of the questions and jokes are about stuff that today's gamers would not get or understand, making this game really hard to age.




Onto the mini games now. The games are chosen when a round of questions has finished. It's selected randomly, just like in Mario Party. Unfortunately you choose to play the mini game(s) you like at any time. The only mode in this game is main game itself which is the game show. The games have you skiing down an avalanche, skydiving whilst avoiding everything in sight, running from a herd of cows, shooting a**holes in space, spanking a monkey's a**, etc. They try to have the humour of the show whilst throwing in a few references and jokes from the show itself.




Speaking of the show itself, the artwork of this game replicates the show perfectly. They don't use any choppy 3D models like in South Park 64 or South Park Rally and don't put them in foggy or terribly modelled 3D landscapes. The game is completely 2D and that's perfect. The music doesn't do so well however. None of the soundtrack is rememberable apart from the title screen's music. It would've been good if they managed to fit the original South Park opening theme in the game somewhere.




If you're a really big South Park fan who has friends who would actually play this with you, go ahead and buy this game. However, if you're looking for any South Park game, any game at all, then I'd recommend South Park: The Stick Of Truth on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. This game I'd honestly give a pass.

This review is decent, I have played this game with my brothers before and I enjoyed the mini games. I found the questions to be kind of hard so I always had to guess. After playing the game for a long while you start to memorize the answers but not most cause there were tons of questions. I remember the spank the monkey's a** game, it's funny but it was a mini game I didn't like playing much. My favorite was the Go kart racing.

I think you did okay for your second review, try not to put too many spaces between your paragraphs.
