South Park Let's Go Tower Defense Play! Brings Co-Op Snow Ball Slinging

Microsoft and the creators of South Park have had a pretty solid relationship.  We've seen a ton of content on the Xbox Live Video Marketplace, some for free, for quite some time.  Now a new game published by Microsoft and developed by Doublesix has hit Xbox Live Arcade.

South Park Let's Go Tower Defense Play! brings the tower defense genre to the town of South Park, complete with four player co-op play.  You'll be defending various turf from the Ginger kids while controlling one of the four South Park characters by placing baseball pitching machines and other structures around.  You can also throw snowballs as an extra line of defense.

Some think the tower defense genre is a bit over saturated, and that may be true, but South Park brings some new tricks to the table. The most notable of these is the four player co-op levels for both online and offline play, which should add a spark if things have gotten stale for you.  If that doesn't work perhaps the blood, gore, and foul language will help.  

One interesting thing we noticed was the focus on Xbox Live Gold and Co-Op play on the game's splash screen (seen above).  Bravo Microsoft for focusing on a play style we all know and love in your marketing.

South Park Let's Go Tower Defense Play! is out now for 800  and you can download it right here.

Pretty sure I know the answer, but is there a family filter on this?

I'm going to have to at least try the demo to this, most of the previews seemed to receive it pretty well.

I got this game. Would never in a million years get it if it were only single player. 4-player coop is a blast, and I'm talking pixel-junk monsters-level fun! In fact, I think this might be the only 4-player coop tower defense game out there. If it's going to be played coop, you must get this one.

You need to review this game! I thought you would by now. I haven't played it yet, but it seems interesting.

I spent about 4 hours on this game playing couch co-op with friends on Saturday...it was a blast! Also, the cheesy Japanese announcer voice had us rolling, as did the characters and show references. I can see how this would bore someone sh*tless on single-player, but with four players locally you will have a ball.

I never talk when I play online on COD. No one really says anything worth listening to, or no one talks whatsoever.
