South Park: Chef's Luv Shack is a 2D game show-style party video game based on the television show South Park. It was released in 1999 for the Nintendo 64, Dreamcast, PlayStation and Microsoft Windows. Its gameplay involves playing minigames and the ability to play against other players in a challenge for the most points. It also involves trivia questions about South Park and other topics.

Characters

In the game, the player gets to choose to be one of four characters: Eric Cartman, Kenny McCormick, Kyle Broflovski, or Stan Marsh.

Gameplay

The game intermittently switches between questions and mini-games, with a mini-game preceding every three questions. Players score points by correctly answering questions and mini-game ranking. Players lose points for questions answered incorrectly. The game is exclusively multiplayer; when played by one player, there is no AI, so that player always wins, even with a negative score. Players have the option to "shaft" (pass on) a question to another player after opting to answer the question. The "shafted" player can then pass the question on again or choose to answer the question. When "shafting", a question will always be answered by the last player to be "shafted". Despite Chef's Luv Shack appearing on all the major home gaming consoles at the time, the only instance of the game taking advantage of the then-modern hardware is the up-to-four player multiplayer game featured in the Nintendo 64 and Sega Dreamcast versions. The Sony PlayStation version supported four players with an adapter, and the PC version allows 2 players to play with a keyboard and 2 more players to play with Joysticks.
