South Park: Cartman's Authoritah

South Park: Cartman's Authoritah is a short action game built around the irreverent world of South Park and, naturally, the enormous personality of Eric Cartman. The gameplay throws Cartman into a series of chaotic situations where enemies, obstacles, and cartoon violence provide the entertainment. The humor relies heavily on the show's exaggerated characters and deliberately immature style, so familiarity with South Park makes the experience considerably more amusing. It is not a deep adventure or a complicated action title; the attraction is seeing the show's distinctive visual style and jokes translated into interactive form. Cartman's attitude is, predictably, less than heroic, and the game happily embraces that fact. For fans, it works as a compact piece of licensed nostalgia. Everyone else may wonder why a small animated boy is shouting so much. Frankly, that is probably the point.
