Pros
Pro Quite funny
While there are plenty of fart jokes in this game, it primarily focuses on satire. At the forefront you have a parody of superhero movie franchises, which allows you to create your own ridiculous superhero origin story, managing to mix in commentary on modern culture, political correctness, and even our unhealthy obsession with social media. There are quite a few laughs to be had in this world seen through a grade schooler's eyes.
Pro Fun turn-based combat
Over the course of the game, you and your superhero friends will take on various enemies. During fights, both sides are placed on a tactical grid and take turns in moving, attacking, and using special moves such as fireballs, explosions, and even fart bombs that stop time. Some abilities even have button prompts to make the combat slightly more engaging. You also have to consider positioning, weaknesses, combos, and when to use your superpowers, giving the combat a fair amount of depth. As a result, whether you're beating up 6th graders, exterminating crab people, or challenging Morgan Freeman to a duel, the combat is really entertaining.
Pro Unique visual style
Playing South Park: The Fractured but Whole feels like watching an episode of the South Park TV show. It's very colorful, detailed, and interesting to look at, especially because everything seems like a cardboard cutout laid out in 2D view. This includes the environments, the houses, the occasional car that passes you by, and even the many characters. There's also very little in terms of animations with characters having jittery, stop motion-esque movements. All of this gives South Park: The Fractured but Whole a very interesting and enjoyable feel.
Pro Receive live feedback
Unlike learning songs from YouTube or tabs. Rocksmith will give you feedback there and then when you play the song and will adjust the difficulty accordingly.
Pro CLDC for a vast vast selection of songs
While lacking your favorite song can be a con, if you dig around you will probably find a Custom DLC for so many songs and it's easy to add them to the game without too much hassle.
Pro Guitarcade
Kill zombies by playing chords, practice scales in a beat'em up this and more can be done in Rocksmith's Guirarcade. Once tedious tasks became something exciting (especially scales) once you pick up this piece of software.
Pro Turns learning into a game, making it fun
With Rocksmith 2014 you can learn how to play a real guitar through a Guitar Hero-type game.
Cons
Con Somewhat buggy
There are quite a few bugs that you might encounter during a playthrough. This includes quests getting stuck, not getting credit when picking up collectibles, and various other bugs, so it's best to have multiple saves in case something goes wrong.
Con Not a game for kids
Even though this game is about grade schoolers playing as superheroes, there's tons of mature content and messed up moments you wouldn't want your kids to see.
Con Official DLC can be pricey
If you are a fan of a vast variety of music you can end up with huge cart that can easily get into hundreds of pounds. The price per song is definitely more that your usual iTunes or Google Play price.
Not that many good bundles either.
