[edit] Introduction
A comet is revealed to be heading towards South Park. Cartman, Kyle, Stan, and Kenny must defeat the various evil forces it has spawned and try to stop it before it lands. Mutant turkeys, killer cows, "Visitors", giant clones, living toys and robots are among the many evil minions and enemies that have flocked to South Park because of the comet. Their only help are various weapons and Chef who gives them advice.
[edit] Gameplay
You begin by picking one of the boys (Cartman, Kyle, Stan or Kenny). In multiplayer mode, you can unlock characters and play head to head. In the game you must constantly fire at opponents using various weapons. Eventually you find the tanks and even mecha-versions of the tanks. The mecha-versions shoot out tanks and tanks shoot out clones.
[edit] Multiplayer
[edit] Head to Head Mode
Head to Head mode lets you pick a level and then you and a selected opponent battle it out using gizmos and gadgets. You can choose either a time limit, or a damage limit or the game can go on forever. When you reach a certain stage on the game you are given a code. You can then go to the Cheesy Poofs decoder and tap in the code. Then click end and if typed in correct you'll get your character.

You can also play online with friends if you have the PC version.

[edit] Gadgets
These can restore health, send your opponent dancing away or being flattened by a cow. These come in two categories and one sub category.
[edit] Weapons
Various weapons can be picked up along the way. They are usually hidden on short cuts or alleyways or any other hidden place.
- Snowballs- Infinite snowballs are the default (and weakest) weapon. Secondary function: Yellow snowballs (there is a brief animation that suggests they have been peed on). These snowballs have a small blast radius.
The rest of the weapons will need to be collected over time as pick ups.
- Dodgeballs- These are red and are usually found in a line. They can bounce at your opponent and cause damage. Secondary function: the dodgeball is thrown much harder, doing more damage.
- Toilet Plunger Launcher- This causes moderate damage by sticking to an opponent or object. Secondary function: fires three plungers at a time.
- Sponge Dart Launcher- A rapid fire gun equivalent to Doom's Chaingun. Secondary function: Dum Dum Bullets.
- Phillip Dolls- It's a doll that act like grenades, raising a deadly green gas. Secondary function: Terrance dolls, act like mines, if someone steps on them it will make a gas that can kill some enemy if he/she step on them. It's one of the most powerful weapons.
- Warpo Ray-
Function 1- Fires piranhas at your enemy. In this fire mode, its damage rating is similar to Quake II's Hyperblaster.
Function 2- Shrinks opponent
Function 3- Turns your opponents into animals.
- Sniper Chicken- Fires eggs at your opponent. Secondary function: Sniper rifle function. The equivalent of Quake II's railgun, especially in regards to damage and rate of fire.
- Cow Launcher- Fires a cow, which lands ass-first on an opponent's head, causing considerable damage (usually death) and partially obstructing the opponent's screen. This weapon is a parody of the Cerebral Bore weapon in the Turok games. Both games were created by Acclaim and released at nearly the same time, and South Park runs on a modified Turok engine.
[edit] Head to Head Gadgets
These can only be used in head-to-head mode. They are:
- Alien Dancing Gizmo- Sends your opponent into a dancing frenzy.
