South Park: The Fractured But Whole Standard Edition - Xbox One

This game is great and is a really well done sequel to the stick of truth. If your a fan of South Park you will most likely love the experience they've created. The battle system has been expanded / evolved from the first game. The turn based combat is a lot of fun and the characters all have hilarious banter and super power capabilities. I don't think it had quite as many crazy moments as the first game but there are still plenty of quintessential South Park moments to be had. Overall I highly recommend it for being a great mash-up of everything South Park fans love and just being a fun time to memba.

Started with the “Stick Of Truth” and a 3 part episodes on South Park that waged war among the video game consoles, separating the kids into two kingdoms. Winter was indeed coming and the new kid had to choose what side he was on meanwhile learning how to fight and survive with the help of southpark. You have a Back stabbing, walking through a rose garden, princess Kenny. It was just like watching a long a-$$ episode of Southpark. You played the new kid that kept the story going. Made you really feel like part of that universe. After the kids the help of the new kid saved the world and banished the stick of truth....they all got tired of playing medieval fantasy action so they changed over to super heroes. Then another 2-3 episode on southpark lead to a “Fractured But Whole”. After they started a civil war among them breaking the Two factions fighting for a spot on Net-flix. If they would decide what’s best for the franchise and push forward they would be millionaires. But inner squabbling and back stabbing means that the new guy has to choose sides again. This time while learning his inner super power. Will the kids succeed? The next game if they decide to make another in the series is better than the first and also comes included in the package as a bonus for those who missed it or want to relive the first story free on specific packaging. But regardless of that, no spoilers because I haven’t finished yet. Buy South Park: The Fractured But Whole. You won’t regret it. Rated M for mature.

South Park: The Fractured But Whole once again completely succeeds in immersing the player in the hilarious world of the eponymous TV show, this time focusing on the kids establishing Cartman's superhero movie franchise. Out are the capes and staffs and in are the masks and colourful tights. You once again play as the New Kid who gets sucked in the thick of it: fighting sixth graders, farting on strippers and gathering allies. All characters feel authentic and the jokes are on point. As an actual video game, The Fractured But Whole improves greatly upon its predecessor. Combat is now grid-based and feels more strategic; costumes are more varied and more numerous and bonuses from artifacts are very noticeable. The story is perhaps the one aspect that isn't necessarily better than that in Stick of Truth. While its better paced and more coherent, it lacks some ridiculousness and scale of the last, making it ultimately more forgettable. As a verdict, the game is a must-buy if you loved the first game or are a fan of the show who for some reason didn't get the chance to play Stick of Truth. This game will satisfy you if you thought the TV show was a bit lacking lately, even if it draws some of its humour from some of the later seasons' inside jokes.

This game takes off immediately after the events of Stick of Truth, in fact it'll be noticed in the opening moments of the game. The characters decide to go the super hero route this time, forming a franchise called "Coon and Friends", in search of their main Netflix TV series. Fractured builds upon the elements of the first game, and the big improvement is in its battle system, which now feels like a Fire Emblem game instead of Paper Mario. Granted Ubisoft decided to develop this title in house (instead of using Obsidian like the first game), but this game is incredibly polished. All of the characters and jokes are present, particularly characters in the later series. If you love South Park, you should do yourself a favor and play this game. Then again you probably already have by now.

The graphics are poor. exactly like the show. This game is juvenile and sometimes offensive and always hilarious. Just like the show. I did have some control issues at times. When you go one way the game transitions and you end up going in the opposite direction especially when you go downstairs. Also as in many games the pop up messages during the game are small on the screen and hard to read. Now I am old and my eyesight is not what it used to be but still I have a 4K 55" television and have to change my seating position much closer to read them. I have not gotten very far but have enjoyed it so far. It even comes with a digital copy of the previous game The Stick of Truth. I got it on sale for $19.99! If you are a fan of the show you MUST get this game. You get two games. If you get offended easily and lack a sense of humor stay away.

This is one of the best direct sequels to a video game ever. This builds on the first games mechanics while also delivering a great story. The world map while being mostly the same (it is the same town after all) is also new in several ways. Anyone that played the first game has to pickup this one. if you haven’t, Great news as the first one is included. So if you have the first one, give the extra copy to a friend.

My cousin gifted me the first game and it was a blast to play. After beating it I decided to get this game and it’s hilarious. I miss the combat system from the first game but the game is just as fun as the first one.

South Park The Fractured But Whole is a great follow up to the Stick of Truth. The first game parodied Lord of the Rings and Fractured But Whole definitely is a parody of the superhero genre with the irreverent comedy fans of South Park have come to love. The RPG elements are deep and engaging. This is not a simple cash in. The graphics feel like the player is playing the actual cartoon. It’s a longer game than the first one and anyone who loved Stick of Truth will love Fractured.
