South Park Rally

If You don’t really give a toss about South Park and thought you would get a driving/go-carting game stay the hell away from this, as a game it just isn’t very good, plain and simple. Also if your easily offended by anything more extreme then Mary Poppins this isn’t the game for you. Otherwise buy everything South Park related, if Eric Cartman was real he would be a god.

Se vi è piaciuto Mario Kart, South Park Rally potrebbe produrvi lo stesso effetto; è divertente e longevo (grazie ad un ottimo multiplayer). I fans del cartone animato non devono lasciarselo sfuggire, per tutti gli altri dategli un’occhiata. Il gioco è presente anche su Psx, Dreamcast e Pc.

This game is only fun for the most hardcore of South Park fans, and if you're just looking for an arcade racer, then I would suggest that you go for titles such as Mario Kart 64, Wave Race 64, or even a somewhat realistic arcade racer in Rally Challenge 2000.

Wer die Serie heiß und innig liebt, wird wahrscheinlich kurze Zeit seinen Spaß mit Kenny, Kyle und Co. haben. Langfristig gesehen bietet jedoch das einfach gestrickte Rennspiel selbst dem größten South-Park-Fan zu wenig.

Nachdem Kyle, Stan, Kenny und Cartman im South Park-Ego-Shooter bereits gegen Truthähne kämpfen und im Ratespiel Chef's Luv Shack dämliche Fragen beantworten mussten, schickt Acclaim das Quintett frecher GÖren jetzt auf die Rennstrecke. Rechtzeitig zum Kinofilm dürfen Fans der frechen Fernsehserie jetzt durch das immerwintrige Provinzkaff South Park brezeln - und zwar in Gestalt einer der witzigen Figuren. Zur Auswahl stehen nicht nur Greinkönig Eric Cartman und der niedliche Kapuzenheini Kenny, sondern auch Kantinenkoch Chef, der schizophrene Grundschullehrer Garrison sowie all die anderen bekloppten South-Park-Bewohner.

Auf den ersten Blick wirkt South Park Rally ganz spaßig. Schnell aber merkt man, daß das Spiel viel zu schwer ist. Ein Fahrfehler, und das Rennen ist gelaufen. Erschwert wird das Ganze durch Checkpoints, die nicht über die ganze Streckenbreite gehen und die man deshalb häufiger verpaßt. Wenn Sie damit leben können, dürfen Sie sich mit Cartman auf die Piste wagen.

South Park Rally has a lot of things going for it: decent graphics, humorous yet annoying gameplay, and an incredibly accurate gameworld. However it also lack a lot of replayability, the gameplay in and of itself can be quite frustrating at points, and the racing physics are horrible beyond compare. Bottom Line? Buy it if you're a South Park fan, as you'll get a kick out of seeing Stan drive around in a Ferrari. Otherwise, leave it to occupy shelf space.

Allez on va dire qu’on s’amuse le temps d’une course, voire le temps de faire le tour de tous les bonus. Après, on a peine à revenir et retrouver ces décors – pourtant jolis – mais foncièrement lassants. Le plus grave problème de South Park Rally, c’est la jouabilité, avec des contrôles imprécis et des comportements souvent curieux. Enfin, quand vous avez joué une heure, entendu 300 pets, 150 vomissements, et pu admirer des culs volants autour de vous pendant un quart d’heure, vous êtes content de couper et de revenir à la civilisation.

While my feelings about South Park Rally started off on a positive note, they quickly went downhill after a couple of hours. The lure of South Park characters racing around the TV show locations died very quickly mainly because of the lack of innovation in course design, so-so gameplay and lack of a save game feature. Only truly diehard fans will enjoy this game, the average South Park viewer won't be addicted for too long, and if you don't watch the TV show don't even bother. This game totally sucks ass Mmmmkay?

Det är verkligen synd att körkänslan inte är bättre, för i övrigt har South Park Rally en hel del att erbjuda. Karaktärerna är träffsäkert utformade, och alla som har sett TV-serien kommer att fnissa hysteriskt vid åsynen av Terrance och Phillip med sina hoppande huvudhalvor och den solglasögonbeprydde fetknoppen Cartman. Detsamma gäller vapenarsenalen, som innehåller bland annat The Underpant Gnomes och Cartmans stackars misshandlade katt, samt de många samplade kommentarer som karaktärerna ständigt häver ur sig. Dessutom är spelets sju banor förvånansvärt stora och detaljerade, och det är tydligt att programmerarna på Tantalus behärskar Nintendo 64-programmering bättre än de flesta. Men i längden räcker inte det till för att väga upp spelets brister och därför förtjänar South Park Rally inte mer än ett medelbetyg.

Not very fun, really. Hard-core South Park fans should just save their money and buy Chef's Luv Shack instead, mmmkay?

South Park Rally could have been much better than it turned out. Allowing people to actually play the cars and tracks they bought without forcing them to get good at the game first would have been a start - especially in a game where the difficulty factor is too high to begin with. A save game mechanism would also have been nice; the game plays WAY too much like some console game (PC games should NEVER have the same limitations as consoles). In the end, South Park theme or not, the game has some serious deficiencies that keep the game from living up to its potential. Bottom Line: Nice graphics - on par with those in the South Park 3D shooter. You start out with only a few cars and one track - the majority of others have to be "unlocked". Opponents rarely make mistakes and have no distinct personalities. No save game mechanism.

La licence South Park, considérée comme une vraie aubaine par Acclaim tend à devenir plutôt une marque de nullité pour l'éditeur. Même les créateurs de la série en arrivent à être énervés de voir ce que l'on fait de leur enfant... C'est quand même un signe.

The brilliant South Park movie shows that there is still some creativity left in Matt Stone's and Trey Parker's porn-obsessed brains. After three abortive South Park games that have failed to translate any of the anarchic fun of the show to digital form, however, all you can really do is blame Canada.

In the end, South Park Rally's charm, even for the biggest South Park fan, wears thin fairly quickly - especially when compared with Crash Team Racing, a similar, yet nearly infinitely more entertaining PlayStation game. South Park fans may want to rent this game, but it's far too limited to consider for purchase.

Les commandes suivent aussi la même logique de médiocrité. Simplissimes et peu réactives, les sensations de conduite sont quasi nulles et approchent le degré 0 du fun. Autre exemple, l'intelligence artificielle est mauvaise et les adversaires ne font vraiment pas preuve d'originalité. Bref, mettez tout ça ensemble, mélangez bien et vous obtiendrez South Park Rally un jeu pas terrible. Les accros de South Park crieront peut-être au scandale mais rien ne vient défendre la peau de ce jeu.

Will they ever stop making these terrible South Park games? Acclaim has done it once again with the latest installment in their South Park series. Every time, it seems like they have taken the essential elements of the South Park show, thrown them into a meat grinder, scooped up random sound bytes and crude jokes and then fitted them into whatever game they happen to be making. So far, we've seen a wretched shooter, a lame attempt at a quiz game, and now a Mario-Kart rip-off. This one seems to be thought out a bit more thoroughly than the rest, yet it plays like the worst.

I'm dead serious. Everything about the actual gameplay seems an afterthought. Tantalus spent way too much time capturing every little nuance of South Park (and, admittedly, that was time well spent), but that left them with no time to actually make a game. The ideas, characters, and details are all there, but so many corners were cut that what they've ended up with is a donut, a big fat zero in every respect.

Bien que permettant de retouver tous les personnages de la série, South Park Rally n'est en définitive qu'un jeu au mauvais goût remarquable, à la jouabilité douteuse et aux graphismes médiocres. Si vous êtes fan de la série, je ne suis même pas sûr que ce jeu soit fait pour vous tant l'humour de la série est transformé en blague de récréation. En deux mots : prout prout...

In short, if you see this game anywhere, turn tail and run. What appeared to be a promising kart game turned out to be one letdown after another. For those into kart games, go out and get Mario Kart 64, or Diddy Kong Racing.If you like South Park, be sure to grab the first-person shooter developed by Iguana). Whatever the case, just leave this to gather dust on store shelves.

Ook op de PlayStation zuigt deze game zwaar en de graphics zijn echt hopeloos lelijk. Helemaal lau is dat de Splitscreen mode de arme machine hopeloos laat vastlopen.

Wat mij betreft moeten de makers van South Park Rally zich zwaar gaan schamen want dit is echt een klotegame. Hopelijk maakt nooit meer iemand zo'n lullige racetitel.
