South Park
0 plays 1998 #Shooter
South Park is a first-person shooter video game based on the American animated sitcom of the same name. The game was developed by Iguana Entertainment with a modified version of the engine used in the Acclaim Entertainment-published Turok 2: Seeds of Evil. Both games shared the same publisher and were released for the Nintendo 64 in December 1998 in North America, and for Microsoft Windows in 1999. South Park was released in Europe and ported to the PlayStation (port developed by Appaloosa Interactive) in the latter year to coincide with the film South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut.
While the Nintendo 64 version reception was fairly indifferent, the PC and PlayStation versions of South Park received generally negative reviews. Acclaim later released two further games based on the series: South Park: Chef's Luv Shack in 1999 and South Park Rally in 2000, both of which received similar unfavorable reception.

— IGN, 1999
GameSpot stated in the Nintendo 64 version that the level design was "really not very good on its own, but given the license, it at least makes sense."
— GameSpot, 1998
GameSpot gave the PlayStation version a 1.4/10, stating: "South Park is definitely one of those games that is bound to come up when you start thinking about the worst game you've ever played."
