The Stick Of Truth is really rather hoping that you have a lot of nostalgia for South Park. Cartman screams at you for making mistakes the game is making, and at this point itвЂ™s only blind determination that sees you past a grimly weak opening.ДЄnd then it stays weak for too long. Instructions fly at you and disappear without your clicking, and then donвЂ™t match what youвЂ™re actually supposed to be doing. Quite what the hell happened here is a mystery only the years will solve, but these sequences are gibberish. This opens with a flurry of instructional sequences from Cartman, in which youвЂ™re taught the basics of combat. And then youвЂ™re quickly plunged into a neighbourhood game of dungeons and dragons, in which the Cartman-led Humans are waging war with the Kyle-led Elves, in a battle to control possession of The Stick Of Truth. Every animation, detail, voice and sound effect is perfect, and it always looks like youвЂ™re in control of an episode of the programme.

Instantly the game looks just like the TV show, and thatвЂ™s the case throughout. You begin by creating your South Park boy (only boys are available, which makes sense within South Park lore), which is a lot of fun. (And of course also hasn't been censored in the UK.) But running without a single graphic option, let alone the ability to reassign its mess of keyboard keys, and as I'll explain being extremely poorly balanced, thereвЂ™s no question that this feel unfinished.

And talking to others playing the console version, it looks like PC has got the best of it too вЂ“ at least it runs without staggering here. Obsidian have their reputation for a reason, and theyвЂ™ve maintained it here. There are, however, no excuses for the mess itвЂ™s in. And all this combined should have led to something immediately recommendable. Free-roaming side-wobbling exploration combined with Mario & Luigi-style turn-based combat. This is an epic South Park tale of sticks, aliens, Nazi zombies and government conspiracies, in which you play a new kid in town (вЂњThe New KidвЂќ or вЂњDouchebagвЂќ), embroiled in a neighbourhood-wide battle. However, and this is crucial, the more I played, the more I enjoyed the game, until by the end of its 25 or so hours I was having a very good time. And this is before you discover the colossal mess that is its opening tutorials.

Discovering that the PC version carries not a single display option, wonвЂ™t switch between controller and keyboard if a controllerвЂ™s plugged in, and offers no way to reassign keys, you would be right to roll your eyes all the way back into your head.

South Park does not make a good first impression. (Today in the States, Australia tomorrow, and Europe on Friday, because, sigh.) But has it been worth the wait? As ever, it's complicated. Almost two years late, and following a publisher change and multiple slips, Obsidian's South Park: The Stick Of Truth is finally out this week.
