It's kind of hilarious that if someone hypothetically asked me "what's the best South Park game from 5th gen" that the answer would be the trivia game with multimedia flash-like games ripping off Midway arcade titles. It's a tad depressing in a way that the "Spank The Monkey" game where you and Mr. Mackey play Simon Says with a four-assed Monkey's asses solo both the shitty Turok reskin and the kart racer without even using it's final form or it's bankai.

The questions can vary wildly on the "is this answerable by someone from 2022" scale, heavily depending on your knowledge of the early seasons of the show. The outdated celebrity trivia for the time being is probably only on a "4" at least compared to the "10", which would be the Capcom arcade title Quiz & Dragons where a low-level slime or a who-gives-a-shit orc could potentially devastate your entire party and rob you of your pocket change via asking shit like "what color were the drapes in the 1957 movie "Quest for Penis" starring Harvey Shitstain?". The downright mystifying type of lunacy that may as well had been the question asking me "how much methane does Eric Cartman produce in a day" or "what kind of porn do I (the trivia game) enjoy"?

Chef's Luv Shack is fun, but also unfortunately very anti-lone wolf and does not come with bots to play with you sans like two mini-games, because playing Warlords by yourself would be kinda pointless. It's fun for about half an hour tops once you cycled through all the games and chose the category "Robert Smith Kicking Ass" like six times (because why wouldn't you?), otherwise you'll be wishing there were three other people to play with to laugh along with to the idiocy that's provided and even then I think the questions start repeating pretty quick.

I know it comes off like I'm pulling your leg when I say that the "Spank The Monkey" game is better than the other two full release South Park games, but I'm frank as Frankenstein with that statement. It would've still been potentially a waste of money to buy this back then, but buying the FPS game or South Park Rally would've left the nicest of people in a terrible state of bloodlust smashing chairs over their pet's head due to the knowledge they spent money and precious time on those pieces of shit. I could be rating this game a bit high due to it's competition, but Chef's Luv Shack may as well be Spyro 2 or Attack of the Mutant Penguins compared to those other two loser games.

giving me closure on a game I've been morbidly curious about for 25 years, bless up

My heart grows three times bigger every time I answer someone's question about random licensed trash from the 90s.

The You Don't Know Jack style of asking the questions definitely baffled me when I was younger, I just blitzed through them to get to the mini-games, because that's just how pea brained I was.
