South Park: Chef's Luv Shack

Chef's Luv Shack is fun. Misschien een tikkie te Amerikaans maar de humor in de tussengames vindt iedereen leuk.

Trotz Vollinstallation gibt es immer wieder kurze Ladezeiten und viele Fragen können nur mit Serien-Kenntnis beantwortet haben. Das hat Berkeley mit dem Allgemeinwissen-Jack besser gemacht. Dafür brilliert South Park mit seinen herrlich widerlichen Zeichentrickfiguren. Wer schon die TV-Serie geschmacklos fand, wird auch dieses Spiel verabscheuen. Wer die Serie vorher nicht kannte, wird jetzt vielleicht bekehrt und das Spiel lieben.

The idea behind Chef’s Luv Shack is similar to that of Mario Party, and while the idea seems pretty appealing, it just fails to deliver the goods. Being a South Park title, I expected the game to mix a little humor in with the gameplay, but I was wrong. The questions aren’t clever, witty, or even consistent. Most of the questions are regular trivia questions you would find in any other trivia title. I would have liked to have seen some South Park trivia, or at least the perverse sense of humor that riddles the television show. The mini-games are loosely based on retro classics, so while they’re fun, they’re also simple and incredibly easy to complete.

Chef's Luv Shack is best leuk voor de hardcore South Park fans die alle ins & outs kent maar voor alle andere gamers is het te obscuur, niet grappig genoeg en ziet het er ook niet echt mooi uit. Nee, het is absoluut niet zo leuk als de serie op tv.

Les passionnés de la série américaine prendront du bon temps pendant un week-end mais pas plus. A déconseiller aux anglophobes et aux catholiques intégristes car ce jeu est juste un collector estampillé South Park.

When Chef's Luv Shack was first announced, I was expecting something along the lines of Austin Power's Operation Trivia (ie. with trivia based on the show). Thankfully, they tried to use actual trivia, although not enough questions. The mini-games are great, but since you can't choose which one you want to play, you often play the same ones over and over. Chef's Luv Shack is a decent attempt with some cool elements, but the game just doesn't have enough depth. When push comes to shove, Chef just doesn't make a very good gameshow host . . . maybe they should look into hiring Regis Philbin.

Chef's Luv Shack är en typisk licensprodukt som hara har gjorts för att någon ska kunna tjäna några extra dollar på den framgångsrika TV-serien, och det är tydligt att Acclaim inte har lagt ned någon större möda på att göra spelet roligt. Egentligen kunde de lika gärna ha börjat att sälja ett Fia med Knuff med South Park-figurer.

South Park fans and those who like off beat trivia will find Luv Shack entertaining in doses, but this South Park excursion would have been far better off had it stuck to its irreverent trivia questions, and ditched the mini-games entirely. All in all, Chef's Luv Shack has too much of Mr. Hanky and not enough Cheesy Poofs goodness.

If you're planning a short party, this game may be worthwhile. Otherwise, the single player game is beyond boring and the constant repetition will do nothing but make a person go mad after a short period of play. South Park, we wish you well and hope Acclaim's contract with you is brief. Please come see us anytime after that.

The Luv Shack is a little old place where we can get together. OK, now that the token B-52's reference is out of the way, South Park: Chef's Luv Shack is a loose combination of You Don't Know Jack-style trivia and Mario Party-style minigames. The result is a game that manages to amuse with its questions, but the lame minigames, lack of varied speech, and general slow pace of the game make it short-lived fun at best.

This is a game that you may want to rent, but the repeating questions, repeating speech, and dull minigames keep it from being a game you'd want to pop in whenever you need a simple party-style game.

In Amerika ist South Park Kult - in Deutschland dagegen interessiert sich bisher nur eine eher kleine Gruppe von Fans für die chaotischen Vorstadtbewohner. Chef's Luv Shack ist ein hastig dahinprogrammiertes Ratespiel, dass sich ganz auf die Attraktivität der TV-Vorlage verlässt.

Die South-Park-Clique beantwortet im Computer-Quiz vulgäre Fragen und bestreitet geschmacklose Mini-Spielchen - so weit wird's jeden Fan freuen. Dummerweise ist die Technik mies, die Aufgaben sind hirnrissig.

Chef's Luv Shack ultimately disappointed me. I was expecting South Park trivia and ended up with an inferior versin of "You Don't Know Jack" starring South Park characters. Had the questions been based upon the TV show, I truly feel this would have been a much better game and a MUCH better use of the South Park license. As it stands, the game would have been exactly the same without Stan, Kyle, Cartman, Kenny, and Chef's involvement. Bottom Line: Poor use of the South Park license. Questions and categories really aren't that clever, and the show's characters don't add anything special. The mini-games are fun to goof around with. Go out and buy yourself a copy of "You Don't Know Jack" instead.
