A near-perfect adaptation and a just-ok game.
FBW captures the look, feel, sounds, lore, humor, and pacing of South Park perfectly. If you're someone who deeply desires 'South Park with a controller' this is going to be your new favorite game, and That's enough to make up for the fact that the gameplay is basic, repetitive, and uninspired; but just barely.
This is a tricky game to review, because I feel it does what it sets out to do very well, in that its an excellent recreation of the show. But, as a game, I can't say it's anything special, and I don't suspect I'll be playing it again.
If you love FBW, I totally see why. It's a must play for diehard South Park fans, but a very soft recommendation for RPG fans.
