The new combat system keeps things from getting too bland, and boss battles are a lot more difficult, especially with special conditions like having to fight your way towards the back of a strip club dressing room while a colossal stripper is chasing after you and trying to crush you beneath her butt. Come for the South Park Stay for the South Park That’s an insta-kill if she manages to catch you, you know. Your initial goal as a new member of Coon & Friends, Cartman's superhero team from the show, is to find a nasty old missing cat to collect the $100 reward money. The journey for $100 will take you across the breadth of South Park itself, and you'll cross the path of practically every major character at one point or another. The ironic part of this entire journey to get the reward money is that it looks like Cartman has spent well over $100 on his Coon & Friends basement setup with a “merchandise” area and other Coon-centric decor. Maybe he should have saved the cash that went into all that. In a way, the dependence on South Park references will make or break the game for people. The map is much the same as it was in The Stick of Truth. There are new routes, and places have changed, but you're not going to cover a lot of new ground here. The cast is much the same as well, so unless you love Cartman, Kyle, Stan, Kenny, and the rest of the denizens of the town, a lot of this is going to feel old (Mr.) hat. I don't want to ruin too many jokes for anyone because that's what this game is all about. South Park: The Fractured But Whole is basically a long playable episode of the show, and the humor is the real draw of the game. As an RPG it's a bit simplistic when it comes to equipment, summoning, and movesets, but that's fine because it helps keep the attention focused on keeping the laughs rolling. If you don't like the show though, you're not going to love this game, end of story. It has the same gross-out moments, racial and gender targeting jokes, and irreverence for anything and everyone that the franchise has always had.
