Recently I tried out another tower defense game on the Xbox 360, Defense Grid: The Awakening. It was fun and challenging, but what it lacked in was immersion. You really didn’t care about the background story to the game. Because I enjoy the challenge aspect of tower defense games, I thought I’d give another game a try – South Park: Let’s Go Tower Defense.

Wow, this game is fun. The comedy of South Park, created by Matt Stone and Trey Parker, is hilarious. You get all the side characters from the show in this game. It’s not just a tower defense game, where you build towers and sit back and watch. You also get to play as the show’s characters and move them around the map and throwing snowballs at your targets. The game also features four player co-op play on Xbox Live, something that is a big plus for me. As you play the game, you unlock videos that you can watch, which are short clips from the TV show. This is a must have for anyone who is a fan of both South Park and Video Games.  For only 800 MS points ($10) it’s a great deal for all the fun you’ll get.

Now, I’m going back to play this some more…
