Critics Consensus:South Park:The Stick Of Truth

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new long awaited South Park RPG!
It's obvious to say the road for South Park:The Stick Of Truth has been a pretty bumpy ride. The game was announced back in December 2011 and was supposed to come out sometime during 2012. Then it was delayed and delayed and delayed one more time and then it was ready for release. However that never happened because THQ the publisher of the game was in financial distress. So the rights were sold to Ubisoft and then the game got a release date. And then it was delayed AGAIN because Ubisoft wanted Obsidian to overhaul some of the mechanics to make it be better. Well all of that actually worked as this is the highest rated South Park game of all time and the highest rated TV show based game too.
While the game has framerate and save bugs due to it being on last-gen consoles its easy to say that South Park:The Stick Of Truth is a contender for Game Of The Year. The mechanics are slick, the town is fun to explore and the game contains so many references its even hard for a South Park aficionado to find them all.
And if you dont trust me you could trust GameInformer,IGN, The Globe And Mail or USA Today for praising this game for all those reasons.
Overall get this game.
South Park:The Stick Of Truth is rated M. (obviously)
