South Park Let’s Go Tower Defense Play!
South Park Let’s Go Tower Defense Play! is ridiculously entertaining, but probably only if you’re a South Park fan. Which I have been for the show’s entire run, and the unflinching brilliance that is Matt Stone and Trey Parker’s writing throughout the series. South Park LGTDP captures this humor perfectly, which is just what this paint by the numbers tower defense game needed. Featuring a story by the South Park scribes, and their custom awful and hilarious voice over work, LGTDP is a full South Park experience.
While many will be painfully reminded of the horrendous South Park gaming forays in the past, LGTDP is not among those. I still remember the South Park FPS game that I had on Playstation, and how everything seemed like a good idea at the time. But the gameplay got repetitive and severely boring almost immediately. LGTDP suffers no such fate. Rather LGTDP stays fairly fresh and always hilarious as you control Stan, Cartman, Kenny and Kyle throughout the games campaign. Creatively sprinkling show references throughout dialogue, and enemy types like ginger kids, and hippies.
LGTDP really shines when played with a friend, as the game can be fairly annoying when played alone. But as long as you can find a buddy that’s also interested in South Park, you’ve got yourself a decent experience. South Park combines traditional tower defense tactics, such as building your own defenses and then upgrading as levels progress, with the ability to take the reins of any character and unleash your own snowball based attacks. Each character also comes with their own special powers that can be triggered during a level. All of which offering their own level of uniqueness, usefulness, and hilarity.
All in all worth the 800 MS points in my book. While semi short, South Park Let’s Go Tower Defense Play provides endless replay ability. As long as you’re a South Park fan, you can’t go wrong.
