Cartman’s Authoritah is a really simple free platform game, featuring Eric Cartman from the South Park series, along with his friends. Kenny is there to die a lot, as usual, but so are the others. The aim of the game is to cross the 8 levels in a manner not unlike Super Mario.
Well, maybe apart from the tools Cartman has at his disposal to make everyone respect his authoritah. He starts with a simple baton but will quickly pick up heavier stuff like a flame thrower or a rocket launcher. There are 5 different weapons with limited ammo. Along the way Cartman collects cheesy poofs boxes and finds hidden bonus areas.
This is a flawed but entertaining game, mostly for South Park fans to check out. The character animation is rudimentary (they actually slide from side to side) but the TV show isn’t exactly known for getting all the animation awards. The 8 levels will take an hour or two to finish, not particularly because of the length or difficulty but due to some dangers (unseen spikes, enemies in small areas...). Memorizing the areas is the secret to truly make Cartman’s Authoritah recognized by everyone.
Graphics are somewhat dated but still in tune with the cartoons, and there’s a nice parallax scrolling effect. Sound effects are scarce but we do get some quotes from the show.
Try it if you’re a fan, but don’t expect much from Cartman’s Authoritah. It’s a simple platform game that you’ll play and forget in a day or two.
Overall: 5/10
