It’s finally out! Check out our review of South Park: The Stick of Truth RPG from Ubisoft.

Ubisoft has three new TV spots up for South Park: The Stick of Truth and they’re overflowing with knowing nods to the hit Comedy Central series’ past. You’ll spot familiar sights like aliens, anime Butters/Professor Chaos, and the rise of zombie Chef. That’s just in one commercial. There are two others as well. Beware of naughty language.

South Park: The Stick of Truth comes to PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 on March 4, 2014. The Obsidian Entertainment-developed game was originally set to be published by THQ, but Ubisoft stepped in to take over last year when THQ was dismantled. The game appears to be a traditional RPG in many ways, only it’s enhanced by South Park-y graphics and scathingly funny writing from series creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone.

Check out all three new TV spots below.
