Let's be honest, nobody is going to play this game "on accident" right? You know what the franchise is all about, and that's exactly the appeal. I was pleasantly surprised at how solid of an actual game it was.

Theme: It doesn't get much better than this. The writing was exactly what you would want. The dialogue was freaking hilarious and the call backs to past episodes were icing on the cake. This is great example of a game based on an existing property done right.

Gameplay: The grid based strategy was simplistic yet satisfying. Don't go into this thinking that it's going to be the next Brigandine or FF Tactics. Think more along the lines of a slightly deeper Plants vs. Zombies interface with a turn based overlay. It works surprisingly well. The rest of the game plays like an episode of South Park. If that doesn't appeal to you then I don't know why you would be considering this game.

Story: We aren't going for a gripping and vast narrative filled with drama and such. This is written by some of the folks that help bring the TV show to life. It's exactly like that. You assume the role of the new kid, and you are largely along for the ride as the boys uncover a devious plot to destroy the town. All of this happens while playing super heroes of course. Even as a South Park fan I was surprised at how clever the story was. I was actually expecting much less.
