Well the time is now, folks. The Stick of Truth finally hits store shelves today. Continue reading to see if it is everything you’ve hoped it would be, or if it’s just another animated TV show turned video game that fails to deliver!

The long-in-development South Park RPG, South Park: The Stick of Truth, has traveled a bit of a rocky road with delays and the game’s publisher, THQ, going under before Ubisoft scooped it up. We found out back at E3 2013 when we might be able to expect the game, but nothing set in stone.

The long awaited South Park RPG from Fallout: New Vegas developer Obsidian Entertainment, South Park: The Stick of Truth, has been on the way for what feels like…well, forever. But that’s only a testament to how insanely awesome it looks.

We saw a trailer for the game last E3, and while it’s short, it’s still exciting to see a new trailer unveiled at E3 2013. Remember, the game was originally to be published by THQ, who went under recently. Lots of games and franchises landed at various publishers, and Stick of Truth landed itself on Ubisoft’s doorstep.
