- South Park Rally is a kart-style racing video game based on the American animated comedy series South Park. The game is developed by Tantalus Interactive and was the last to be published by Acclaim Entertainment (near the end of the third season of the show) for the PlayStation in 1999, which was later ported to Microsoft Windows in 1999 for North America and in 2000 for Europe and for Nintendo 64 and Dreamcast in 2000. The game includes many characters, vehicles, locations, items and other features inspired by or featured on the series.

South Park Rally review on the nintendo 64. Recorded using an Ultra HDMI modded N64 console with an Elgato game capture HD capture card using a real game cartridge.
Does this retro nostalgic game fall into your top 5 or top 10 N64 games? What is your favourite full episode of south park or did you love south park the movie?
Imagine if this game was a larger success than Mario Kart. "Hey, who do you main in South Park Rally 8 Deluxe?" "Oh, I main Cartman Cop. He's the best, really."
Haha
I loved South Park Rally, but it's obvious all the effort went into the Dreamcast version over all the others.
This may sound like a somewhat silly question, but what were the main differences?
Larry Bundy Jr Hello, you!
From what I recall, the N64 version lacked 3 unlockable characters, had some voice lines removed, but had better visuals compared to the PS1 version and had 4 player support when the PS1 only had 2.
+Larry Bundy Jr not played that one although I did sell off my dc a few months after getting it
The DC version had an exclusive carnival track.
I must say that I loved this game so much. It’s not perfect, but it was very original and me and my friends spend so much time trying to finish the game and collect all the characters.
I paid like $3 for this game back in 2001 and had a blast playing with friends, still have it sitting around somewhere but I haven't plugged the N64 in in more than a decade. This video was a major nostalgia trip
😬 you’ll probably find that this whole channel will be a nostalgia trip for you then if it’s been over a decade!
Really enjoying all these back to back reviews
This game was so much fun. I just got done replaying it all these years later. The toughest races for me were Halloween and Thanksgiving,
i loved this game as a kid it was so cool

SPR is a surprisingly challenging game, which gave the single player so much replay value. Its completely different then any other racer on the console and that's what I liked about it. I think Glenn just wasn't good at it, hence the negative review.
Agree, my and my bud enjoyed the hell out of it spending a whole summer with it
The controls are to blame. It isn't about being good. This is a broken game from start to finish.
Great review as always! It's funny you mention the whole profit thing near the end, considering this apparently wasn't very profitable for Tantalus, and in fact after its release they weren't in a great financial state. There's an article on Gamasutra done for their 20th anniversary and it explains a bit more what happened, though in short it was basically Acclaim being Acclaim.
ill have to check that out thanks for the heads up
It was too messy, I never knew where I was going, it didn’t work for me.
Glad I’m not the only one who felt that way
Still rather surprised that many people bash on this game, cause I enjoyed playing it. While I can agree its not perfect, I ended up playing this more over than Mario Kart at the time (mainly due to the multiple gameplay modes as well as locations that were done with each game mode in mind).
One thing I find annoying is seeing many reviewers not using the handbrake when going into a sharp corner as it actually making turning alot tighter. Sure nothing says anything about using it to drift, but I at least experimented with the controls and found out I could do that.
+EuanEchidhog I knew it would have its fans but I just felt it could have been so much more
Right on spot there. Not sure either why this game is so hated somehow. it feels like there is more contnent in this than mario kart.
I loved South Park Rally, I think it was a great game when it was released, so many different challenges, I disagree with the negativity about the game. I much preferred it to Mario Karts, I feel there was more to do on South Park Rally.
I remember renting this as a kid (I had chilled parents). I wasn't impressed, nor horrified. It was actually fun unlocking the characters. Glad it was a rental though.
It was the exact same with me. I actually didn't mind this game. I never owned it so would only rent it now and again If a game a really wanted wasn't available at the time.
Glenn64! These regular uploads are sweet. Have you done Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon yet?
+Craig Horner on my hit list :-)
Look at how far the draw distance is in this game though. Almost no fog or pop in compared to most n64 games. I really loved the south park fps game and thought this one was pretty goood.
I think south park chefs luv shack was the worst south park game that i can remember playing.
+nate it's interesting from the comments as to some people that's their fav
i do like it too. IT's just not as good as the others to me. I may be a little biased though because south park is one of my favorite shows of all time and i've loved all the south park games. I'm really excited for the new south park game (fractured but whole) since the stick of truth was one of my favorite rpgs ever.
Oh and thanks for uploading so much this month. How'd you know it was my birthday?!
+71dembones because Glenn just knows 🤗
Man brings me back to my childhood playing non stop to unlock the characters and I really enjoy it
Excellent review.
The criticisms did not overshadow the experience that somebody else may have if they chose to play the game.
+Undead Pumpkins yeah like everything it's all personal
I played a lot of both Rally and the FPS, by no means they're good, but I enjoyed the hell outta them.
I would have liked Rally more if there was some sort of powerslide, because the handling is not good and a time trial mode would have been cool considering the non-linear design of the tracks making some interesting shortcuts, also later challenges became really annoying and unfun. The soundtrack was the best part honestly.
+REML MLER just so many little tweaks for all the 3 sp originals and they would have been classics
I Love This Game
2:08 So basically WITHIN SIX MONTHS.
I played this on the PS1 and didn't really like it much. They should ditched the checkpoint mechanic and went with a straight forward circuit based racing.
+SPac316 yeah I think that would have worked so much better
Of the three 'South Park' games... it's been so long since I've played any of them, but I'll go with 'Chef's Luv Shack', a lackluster trivia/party game, as the weakest. 'Luv Shack' had mini-games such as "Spank the Monkey" and "Ass-teroids", and they were OK (at best), but the trivia component was a 'You Don't Know Jack' mimic that was so watered down, I could swaer it was simply water. With 'YDKJ', once an answer to a question is revealed, there's a zippy and often hilarious punchline afterward; the humor in 'Chef's Luv Shack' was all setup, but no payoff.
I enjoy playing South Park Rally (usually alone) and I have fond memories trying to unlock everything in the game. I never got everything (Marvin being an example of a character I just didn't know how to unlock) but I still had a blast playing it as a kid (yes I played rated M games as a kid). As for the worst one, I think that goes to the first-person shooter South Park game. I liked playing it but the controls are so damn awkward and strange that I have problems trying to survive. As for Chef's Love Shack, I never played it so I can't give my own opinion on that game.
Luv shack is weak in terms of content but it’s fun in multiplayer for sp fans. I agree that the FPS was weak, Matt and trey hated it and even acclaim admitted it was rushed to meet the sales deadline to cash in which is why I always find it hard to understand anyone trying to defend that game in particular 👍
0:14 Fuck me it's N64 Les Claypool
Peter Pizzarelli his name is mud
+Peter Pizzarelli LOL!!
Honestly such a fun game, I must've poured at least 200+ hours into it on my old Pentium desktop haha, no game guides to find the extra gold tokens just trial and error.
that's some dedication right there
I remember N64 Magazine really praised this game with a high score too. I though it was ok at best (mostly because of the South Park license) but after that review, quite disappointing indeed.
+W MJ I think if the reviewers were fans of the show it tended to get better reviews from them
Far from ok
I actually like south fps
Yeah I saw you commenting on slopes game room South Park video
@@n64glennplant sempi noticed me! In all seriousness i fucking love that foggy barren level design. I love picking up your homies then going to the med evil fair with all those damn turkeys lol. I dunno the multiplayer is great too. Anyway love your vids can you please do perfect dark? Bye coolguy
I was really good at this game. I didn't mind the controls . It was one of my favorite games
I don't get the hate for this game, I had the n64 versions (also had chefs love shak) and I spent hours on this game, me and my friend spent a whole summer playing it.. It took a bit getting used to the controllers and the maps but when you got used to it you got some intense races
Honestly South Park Rally to me was the worst and surprisingly Chef's Luv Shack was the most enjoyable.
I will stick with mario kart 64 and f zero x as one of my favorite kart racing games gleen South park rally doesnt look that good at all my friend.
mario kart 64 is too easy to finnish, SPR is more difficult. The PC verision of this is awesome actually
Great review as always Glenn! I never played these games as a kid cuz I wasn't into the show at the time, but I enjoy it nowadays. Will you be making any more beta / Japanese reviews again? Those have been some of my favorite videos of yours!
+Gage Schleser yeah I have a couple I'm working on
exciting! cant wait!
SP Rally seems to be that game that people liked more and more overtime. Something that can’t be said about Chef’s Luv Shack
Its a terrible game. One of the worst racing games ever made.
@@vincevice1398 You're insane.
I’m currently playing through Chef’s Luv Shack. Since I don’t follow the show, I’m getting nearly all the trivia questions wrong. 🙁
The best thing about this game is the massive character roster.
Luckily Tantalus have moved on to bigger and better things since South Park Rally. Their most recent project was Skyward Sword HD on the Switch!
i fucking loved this game, 4 player multiplayer is a must as well
Is this game a 2 player
In all fairness, my 6 yo self playing this thought it was the shit,looking back it was crap but still a piece of my childhood
So many games from my past like that 😂
This game could've been SOOOOOO good!!!!
Rally was the only early south park game that I never played
Did you play the South Park game will the invasion of the killer turkeys?
yeah and I reviewed that one too - its just called South Park :)
Good video. watching the south park game in action makes me want to play MK64 even more. All good wishes.
I just bought this game after trying it out on emulator. I hated the first racing track (the ideia of going through numbers in order is stupid. It would have worked much better if you just had to go to all locations in any order and whoever do it first would win. Then I got to play the other maps with different objectives and relly started enjoying the game. I can't wait to try it with my friends.
+Gustavo CVE surprised they didn't try that as a mode
I loved this game and the shooter game for the N64 when I was a kid.
Did you not cover this game before, Glenn?
+Anto RetroGamer nope
Spooky vision lol
AWESOME
I can never forget that I actually used to love this game when it first came out, and I actually owned it on the PlayStation at the time, since well, I was a PlayStation gamer. And given of how Attack on Titan-levels of HUGE South Park really was at the time, given of how even curious I was about it, it seemed heavily essential to me to have this game, but to also have the other South Park FPS game, which I never got until a couple of years later. It was very obvious from the get go that my childhood was totally wasted on this one. But, is it as bad as Retro Force, a PS1 shmup that has poorly defined my childhood in so many horrible ways? Of course not.
+Razorblade1812, The big fan of Kaitou Hawtin it's funny how tastes and opinions change the older you get
It surely was a thing that, you hear about a show that became so Attack On Titan-levels of HUGE, and you were nothing but curious about it all long, that you not only have to watch the show, but also have to play the games as well. And yes I was caught up in the South Park hype at the time, especially when South Park first came to Germany only 2 years after its original US debut in 1999, which was how I got to play this game in the first place. I did know about the FPS game at the time, except I played it much much later. And yeah, I know what you're thinking.
Had no idea this game existed. Thanks :D
+Martin Lindgren don't thank me....lol
I got this game with my birthday money and wanted to love it soooo much. I didnt mind the exploration based gameplay, but the game was just not fun to play.
I hope someone makes a south park game in the style of the simpsons hit and run.
+Barkly see I wasn't a fan of that game either
I've only tried the South Park Game for N64 when you throw snowballs on each other, didn't know they had a racing game lol
+CaptainWardi and don't forget luv shack too
No need to play it. Its just as terrible as the other 2 sp games.
IT'S FINALLY HERE!!! YEEEEEES!!!
+DooM DooMerson thank you doomy doomface 😂
Used to have this on the PS1, enjoyed the Hell out of it!
see I never liked the P2P racing style, id much have preferred a standard circuit racer myself
I always loved how when you played the Arcade Races, the checkpoints are placed randomly, it's almost a different race every time.
Gleen, are you going to do another magazine time capsule any time soon? I really miss those episodes.
+Gustavo CVE soon :-)
i always seemed to get lost.
+turokforever007 takes a while to get used to it
Good
I'd say Chef's Love Shack was the worst. I played both games at my friends house (He had all three games) and we got very bored with Love Shack after about 20 mins. We all found more enjoyment with Rally, but it still was not the best kart game.
Only played the DC version. It controls fantastic with the steering wheel, bit crap with the pad tho. If you have an N64 wheel then should give it a go with that, it might really improve it.
+Adam Phillip I find wheels are too big storage wise for me, I hate clutter
I never understood why people think South Park (or The Simpsons) are good licences for games. There's not really much in those shows to build a game around, outside of generic games like platformers, racing games, and fighting games where you can slap any licenced characters on to and have it work.
+SabreXT have you played stick of truth? That's a perfect use of the South Park license imo
Not played it myself, but was with a friend as he played through some of it. Not really my thing.
But go from the other direction. Let's say you had to make a game from Pride and Prejudice. How would you do it? It's kind of the same with South Park. I think that's why they did kart racers, FPS games, etc.
I didn't think Chef's Luv Shack was all that bad.
+Ryan AirZonkWorldChamp I thought it was ok but very limited
I like South Park Rally
Honestly people give South Park FPS too much flack, it was good for what it was in the day. Off course it was just one of the 3 N64 games I had with the other 2 being WWF Attitude and Mystical Ninja
Wow u had shit games.
Hey I play that I was thinking the controller is how you move but it was camera part and the chickens are bad
This looks like a fan made game
Haven't tried out the DC, ps1 verision of this game but PC. and it's somehow much more funnier than mario kart because it's more difficult and the driving feels heavier.
I've got this on n64 and felt it was a bit of mess, the first track didn't feel fun it felt all over the place.
It's got a bit rare Ish now. Well expensive around £15 for the cart alone
South Park for N64 2 words, Draw Distance
Este juego necesita un remake tiene potencial para competir con mk si lo rehacen con unity.
Solid review as usual!, I really enjoy your reviews but the soundtrack on this one is extremely harsh on the ears. I just want to listen to your voice without that garbage.
+TrueBlueGaming you used to call me on my cellphone....
Sorry I'm not following you... What do you mean?
Okay Iv'e been informed it's a song!, well played :) !
we had a blast playing this game 21 years ago
I loved Chefs Luv Shack, especially with the pizza delivery and pie eating minigames
The avalanche survival mingame was a lot of fun too.
Play on pc and change graphics to high on pc
love shack was very fun to play but i dont think its aged to great ill have to pick up a copy now
I loved this game, the best of the three indeed.
Blimey I loved...and STILL love...this bleeping game. Was so challenging, so annoying and yet somehow so much fun. Long late night multiplayer sessions, it was preferred to Mario in our flat. We must be alone in that love :)
This one. Easily.
Rally is the worst, Chef's Luv Shack is actually pretty fun. I have it in my top 25 N64 games list. It's like a combined parody of Jeopardy and Mario Party. Don't take it too seriously and you and friends will definitely have a good time for a few sessions (the game runs out of unique questions pretty quickly).
Hey Glenn. like the other south park games; it's a cool novelty but really lets you down on replayability. oh well, the fact that one of my favorite series was released in video game form on my favorite console is good enough, I guess :)
+71dembones I really need to catch up on the new series
N64 Glenn Plant haha yeah I'm a little behind myself. I think I've watched all the episodes in the "PC/sentient advertisements/political campaign" season and connected all the dots. Definitely reaching some Matrix-level plots
I really liked the game, it also was the reason i started to watching the show.

Yes it looks like a whole lot of suck
Reboot this
I’d be up for that if they made it a more straight kart racer - with a track designer so everyone can make their own cool courses based in the South Park universe
This was one of the worst games ive played on the system. Idk why someone would even bother trying to complete it. Multiplayer sucked too. It just makes you wish you were playing mario kart instead
+David Lopez that's how I personally felt
Why are you talking stick of truth as if it's not out?
+sithius99 perhaps I recorded this prior to its release, I cannot remember
Got South Park n64 because y not
+Professor Peculiar dirt cheap!
N64 Glenn Plant yup buy 2 get 3rd free it was free payed quake 2 and body harvest
Had South park rally on ps1 as a kid the game got me into the franchise
Rally is still a guilty pleasure of mine and I appreciate that it tried something different I was and still am impressed by the roster championship mode was OK but as soon as you got to the championship races like the egg hunt that is where the game becomes frustrating annoying and luck based.
I do remember it well reaching the Halloween race waiting by the drop box for unspected racers and I stole all there candy and won lol
Fun fact the ps1 version of the game you can put into your CD player and it will play the soundtrack and half of the towns mayor's dialogue.
So much wasted potential here. Between Mario Kart 64, Diddy Kong Racing, Snowboard Kids, S.C.A.R.S., and Mickey's Speedway USA, the mediocre South Park Rally was rightfully overshadowed.
+goodrob13 amen to that
South Park N64 games are hideous.
The game Was so fun. Remembering sitting in Front of the n64 with my cousins. Played it together and it was sooooo good
