South Park: The Stick of Truth Preview

In case you're interested in reading some more about Obsidian's South Park: The Stick of Truth, you should head over to this Daily Mail online preview, which comes with the usual positive impressions we've gotten used by now. I can't really tell if they had the chance to play the title or not from the piece, but I'd guess it was another hands-off presentation they attended:
Graphics are brilliant. Everything from the little 'bobs' the characters do when they move to their quirky facial expressions has been captured. Indeed, it almost looks like you're watching an episode.

In a nod to Skyrim and Fallout, The Stick of Truth is an open-world game. Characters can level up certain skills, such as magic or weapons, and can choose different classes (Mage, Cleric, Fighter and Thief) in their quest to become...cool.

Each time you level up, you're treated to Cartman dishing out your (often rude) new title. Combat is turn-based, which will appeal to hardcore RPG fans fed of clunky real-time combat often associated with modern games in the genre.

It's refreshing to see a cartoon-to-video-game offering be on course to do a series justice something movie-game tie-ins just can't seem to do these days.
