South Park Rally
PlayStation Release: January 2000 From: Acclaim




Following South Park and Chef's Shack Acclaim have come up with another way to squeeze a few more bytes out of their mouldering licence - South Park Rally! Whatever next...
Gideon Kibblewhite

Oh no, they haven't killed Kenny!
Indeed they haven't. In fact, there's little chance of Kenny ever actually being allowed to rest in peace now Acclaim have secured the South Park licence. You didn't think they'd be content with releasing only two games on the back of it, did you?

I suppose not. So what's South Park Rally like then? Colin McRae with foul language and iffy jokes?
Not exactly, for South Park Rally is in fact a karting game rather than a rally affair, so you would have to call it, if anything, Mario Kart with foul language and iffy jokes.

So Stan, Kyle and Kenny all take to the streets of South Park and cause mayhem, do they?
They certainly do - and not just around the town itself. There are 16 different kinds of races, on tracks as diverse as South Park Forest and Big Gay Al's Big Gay Animal Sanctuary. During these races (and this is South Park, don't forget) you must collect Easter eggs so you can compete in 'Reading Day' - doing your best to throw a few spanners in the spokes of your competitors along the way, of course.

Spanners? A South Park karting game wouldn't confine itself to merely Mario-style strawberries and bananas, would it?
Mate, the weapons in this game are as wild as the show itself. Underwear Gnomes, Bad Kitties, Spooky Vision (where an opponent's screen is filled with pictures of, bizarrely, Saddam Hussain) are just a few of the weird and wonderful weapons at your disposal.
