Games have, of course, often fallen foul of overzealous ratings boards in the past. In a game that boasts the CircumSythe as a special move, cuts are to be expected, but not those of the censorious kind. But the fact that several scenes have been censored in Europe – apparently by the title’s own publisher Ubisoft – has had fans in uproar. Developed by veteran studio Obsidian Entertainment, responsible for a range of successful adventure titles, and written by South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker, it is easily the most faithful tie-in with the scurrilous animated series.
South Park: The Stick of Truth is a great game – that’s certainly something most reviewers have agreed on.
