South Park: Chef’s Luv Shack - PlayStation

Not a fan of South Park? What are you doing on this page then? This is a warning. If you're not familiar with what goes on in this quaint little town, then, much like a stranger paying a visit to the infamous town of Royston Vasey, there's nothing for you here.

However, South Park aficionados will discover more than enough to keep themselves highly amused, especially if they're not playing by themselves. Ha! The real belly laughs are in two, three, or four player mode. In multiplayer mode, you choose to play either Kyle, Kenny, Stan or Cartman, who, much to Chef's chagrin, are the only available contestants-he was expecting bikini-clad babes. After all, he is a ladies' man.

Nevertheless, this cookin' lothario forges ahead with the questions which the kids have to buzz in on, answer correctly, or lose points for answering incorrectly. Even the most ardent fans of the TV show (there's a few right here in this office) will be flummoxed by some of the questions. But it doesn't matter who wins, you're too busy laughing. Not only at what's going on onscreen, but in the back of your mind, you have to be happy for the folks that have had the temerity to bring such folly to our screens. The open question rounds are intermittently interrupted by sub-games such as Spank The Monkey and Asses In Space, which are as absurdly hilarious as they sound.

There isn't a great deal of longevity here, but for a quick-fix laugh riot of the cartoon kind, South Park fans will lap it up - just like a bad kitty.

BAD KITTY! more
