In the wild, headline-baiting world of South Park, anything goes. It might star some innocent looking kids, but those kids are sure to be bleeding, cussing and bludgeoning gingers to death within mere minutes of the opening. 18 certificate: guaranteed.

That's because South Park's forthcoming fantasy RPG game is grounded in very controversial reality. When Cartman and his crew cast fire spells on their enemies, they're really lobbing flaming tennis balls in their direction. And when they're debuffing the opposition's ranks, they're doing so with swear words designed to intimidate and upset.

Instead of axes and staffs, the gang carry wooden swords, twigs, ninja stars and other knick-knacks picked up from around town. Cherish them well as you'll be upgrading the same tools over and over rather than ditching them for newer, shinier toys found in chests.

It's exciting stuff, as is news that South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone are heading up the writing. And as huge gamers themselves, they're having a big say on content.

An example of their influence? The nearly-invincible super-bosses dotted around South Park that play similar roles to Final Fantasy VII's Ruby and Emerald Weapons... Epic...
