South Park: Chef's Luv Shack

"All in all, Chef's Luv Shack is a fine party game for South Park fanatics, but it grows thin after a few plays and doesn't have the divine durability of the You Don't Know Jack series. A word of advice: rent the Nintendo 64 version, throw back a few pints, and have a few runs with some buddies; this game has the staying power of a one-night stand."

"South Park fans and those who like off beat trivia will find Luv Shack entertaining in doses, but this South Park excursion would have been far better off had it stuck to its irreverent trivia questions, and ditched the mini-games entirely. All in all, Chef's Luv Shack has too much of Mr. Hanky and not enough Cheesy Poofs goodness."

"I would have been happy if they had just taken the mini-games, slapped them onto a CD, and sold them sans the trivia game that they're nested in. They're actually a lot of fun. But for 40 bucks, you're better off saving the money and playing good ol' fashioned Trivial Pursuit instead. If you miss the South Park element, play several episodes in the background and buy a few bags of Cheesy Poofs."

"When Chef's Luv Shack was first announced, I was expecting something along the lines of Austin Power's Operation Trivia (ie. with trivia based on the show). Thankfully, they tried to use actual trivia, although not enough questions. The mini-games are great, but since you can't choose which one you want to play, you often play the same ones over and over. Chef's Luv Shack is a decent attempt with some cool elements, but the game just doesn't have enough depth. When push comes to shove, Chef just doesn't make a very good gameshow host . . . maybe they should look into hiring Regis Philbin."

"If you live by your watch and never miss an episode of South Park and even watch repeats on Comedy Central (10 p.m. EST on Wednesday nights, you know where I am) then this game might interest you."
