Before I get too far into this review, I want to put out a disclaimer of sorts. I am not a huge South Park fan. I've watched only a handful of episodes in the many years the show has been around. That said, this is a video game review, and I certainly enjoyed the South Park tower defense game quite a bit, so I did my best to approach it with an open mind. Coming from a non-fan's perspective, I believe Tenorman's Revenge is below average at best.

A new South Park game will be unleashed on the masses this week. South Park: Tenorman's Revenge features the familiar four versus an army of robot gingers in a side-scrolling platformer. The last South Park XBLA exclusive, Let's Go Tower Defense Play!, was a surprisingly good co-op game. Tenorman's Revenge is being developed by a different studio, but we're still hoping for a solid title. Judging by the video below, the gameplay looks simple and fun. That's all I really need in a platformer, so long as it's executed well.

Microsoft’s contract with South Park Digital Studios calls for two Xbox Live Arcade-exclusive South Park titles. The first, 2009’s Let’s Go Tower Defense Play! is an absolutely fantastic tower defense game with 4-player co-op. Just over two years later, we’ll finally get a sequel of sorts: South Park: Tenorman’s Revenge. The developer this time is Other Ocean Interactive, makers of the unfortunately buggy Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection as well as the NES-talgic platformer, Dark Void Zero.
