Cheap South Park Rally (Software) (Windows Me, Windows 95, Windows 98) Price

The idea here is a go-cart style rally race through the town of South Park. Players can control most of the show's major and minor characters, though only a handful of these are accessible at the beginning of the game. The rest become available as you win some races. Each of the characters--from Cartman to Chef to Starvin' Marvin--offers his own commentary throughout each race, chiding you when you're losing and taunting your opponents when you pull ahead. This is primarily where the appeal of the game shines through. Comments like Chef's "Ooh baby!" and Cartman's "Respect my authori-tah!" will almost certainly earn chuckles from players as they make their way around the track.

Unfortunately, that's a pretty lame thrill to take away from a game. The races themselves aren't very exciting and they become repetitive almost immediately. There are only so many times you can race around a track picking up items like anal probes and barf before the novelty wears thin.

Needless to say, South Park Rally will have zero appeal to anyone who hates the TV show. Unfortunately, it will have only limited appeal to those who do like the show. --Michael E. Ryan

• Captures the look, feel, and sounds of the show
• Some funny commentary

• Boring and repetitive
