If you are a South Park fan, this is a must have. The Stick of Truth is a long South Park movie starring you. The game has tons of nods to previous episodes from the series, I spent several hours just exploring the town checking things out. The gameplay is similar to Paper Mario. It's a turn based RPG that gives you bonuses for well timed button presses durring attacks and defensive actions. These end up playing a vital role in surviving during your battles. The controls and certain "puzzles" can actually be a little confusing at times and some tutorials are obnoxious if you don't put in the correct inputs. Unfortuneatley the game is very short for an RPG style game. If you do just the main story line you may easily come in under 10 hours. If you do all of the extra content you might be able to squeeze out 20 hours. By the end of the game I was sastified with all the hype that I carried coming into the release of this game having laughed myself silly several times through the course of the game.

So in Summation:
Buy it now if your a HUGE fan of South Park, you will not be displeased with the story, otherwise pick it up during the upcoming steam sale.
