Introduction [link]
An incoming comet is heading towards South Park, causing an army of mutant turkeys, killer cows, "Visitors", giant clones, living toys, and robots to surround their small Colorado town. With an arsenal of improvised weapons, and backup provided by Chef, it's up to 3rd graders Cartman, Kyle, Stan, and Kenny to defeat the evil invading forces and prevent the comet from landing before their hometown is destroyed.

South Park is a first person shooter. The game's single player mode places the player in control of one of the four main characters of South Park: (Cartman, Kyle, Stan or Kenny). The player must defeat a variety of enemies using the various weapons found throughout each stage.
Multiplayer [link]
In Head-to-Head mode, the players select a level, characters, and game style (time limited, damage limited, or unending). The PC version allows for online head-to-head play.
In the PlayStation 1 and Nintendo 64 versions, upon reaching select stages in single player mode, codes are revealed. These can then be input into the "Cheesy Poofs Decoder" to unlock additional characters for Head-to-Head play. All characters are unlocked in the PC version.
Version differences [link]
The PlayStation version suffered from numerous bugs and poor draw-distance. The PC and Nintendo 64 versions featured many improvements, sharper graphics and high resolution on the N64 version, and multiple enemy types per level on the PC version.
Cancelled Game Boy Color version [link]
A Game Boy Color version was in development, but it was eventually canceled by Matt Stone and Trey Parker, the creators, because they felt the game was not for kids. However, they did keep a few copies of the Game Boy Color version to commemorate what was originally started as the first South Park game.[citation needed]
Reception [link]
|
This section requires expansion. |
Upon release, South Park was mostly poorly received by critics. GameRankings has only 41.22% as the average score for the PlayStation version.[4] The PC version was only given the average score 51.72%.[5] GameSpot gave the PlayStation version a 1.4, stating that "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."[6] IGN called the PlayStation version "frustrating" due to poor graphics, repetition of the voice acting, and lack of play value for the head-to-head mode.[7] GameSpot stated in the PC version that "A good license and good graphics aren't enough".[8] The voice acting, done by the original voice actors, was criticized for being repetitive, isolated, and old.[7][8] The weapons of the game were also criticized for being unprofessional.[6][7]
Despite the negative reception from both versions, the Nintendo 64 version was praised for its 3D graphics and nice storyline, with IGN calling the game "just as funny as the Comedy Central series".[9] GameSpot stated in the Nintendo 64 version that the level design "it's really not very good on its own, but given the license, it at least makes sense".[10]
The game eventually developed a cult following.[citation needed]

South Park (season 17)
The seventeenth season of the animated television series South Park premiered on Comedy Central on September 25, 2013 and ended on December 11, 2013.
Production
The season consists of 10 episodes, as series creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone decided to scale back and have one uninterrupted season, as opposed to two 7-episode runs, as had been the format since season 8. Aside from Parker, who wrote and directed all episodes, this season employed additional writers, one of whom is former Saturday Night Live cast member Bill Hader, who began working full-time on the show.
Due to a power outage at the studio, episode 4 ("Goth Kids 3: Dawn of the Posers") missed the deadline and aired a week later than scheduled.

It borders the St Peter's, Graiseley, Merry Hill, Tettenhall Wightwick and Tettenhall Regis wards. It forms part of the Wolverhampton South West constituency.
Its name comes from the fact that two of the city's main parks, West Park and Bantock Park, lie within its boundaries. The ward also contains the Chapel Ash conservation area and also the Parkdale conservation area. Some other interesting architecture can be seen within the ward, particularly on the Tettenhall Road, such as first Mayor of Wolverhampton, George Thorneycroft's House. Two of the city's main thoroughfares are contained largely within the ward, namely the A41 Tettenhall Road and the Compton Road (A454. The Halfway House on Tettenhall Road was formerly a coaching house on the London to Holyhead route and as the name suggests, was the half way point. It was a pub for many years but is currently (2009) closed and for sale.

South (composition)
"South" is a jazz composition by Thamon Hayes and Bennie Moten. It was introduced by Bennie Moten's Kansas City Orchestra in 1924 and recorded again in 1928, when it became a national hit. It was Moten's most popular composition.
Moten's popular Victor 1928 recording of "South" (V-38021) stayed in Victor's catalog over the years (reissued as 24893 in 1935 as Victor phased out any remaining V-38000 series that were still in the catalog) and became a big jukebox hit in the late 1940s (by then, reissued as 44-0004). It remained in print (as a vinyl 45) until RCA stopping making records.
Originally an instrumental, Ray Charles later wrote lyrics for the tune.
Notes
Southern Italy
Southern Italy or Mezzogiorno (Italian pronunciation: [ˌmɛddzoˈdʒorno], literally "midday") is the traditional term for the southern regions of Italy, encompassing the southern section of the continental Italian Peninsula and the island of Sicily. It coincides with the administrative regions of Abruzzo, Apulia, Basilicata, Campania, Calabria, Molise, and Sicily. Some also include the most southern and eastern parts of Lazio (Sora, Cassino, Gaeta, Cittaducale and Amatrice districts) within the Mezzogiorno, because these territories were also part of the Kingdom of Two Sicilies. The island of Sardinia, although for cultural and historical reasons having less in common with the aforementioned regions, is frequently included as Southern Italy, often for statistical and economical purposes.
Southern Italy carries a unique legacy of culture. It features many major tourist attractions, such as the Palace of Caserta, the Amalfi Coast, Pompeii and other archaeological sites (many of which are protected by UNESCO). There are also many ancient Greek cities in Southern Italy, such as Sybaris, which were founded several centuries before the start of the Roman Republic. Some of its beaches, woodlands and mountains are preserved in several National Parks; a major example is La Sila, a mountainous plateau occupying the provinces of Cosenza and Catanzaro in the region of Calabria.
