I started playing it after I got in on the steam sale a couple weeks ago.  It is pretty good, but I stopped as even with headphones the anal probing scenes were not something I wanted my kids to see by accident.  

I suppose I should have expected that from South Park.  Of course since I quit playing it when the kids were up, I then got into a different game (Risk of Rain), and didn't want to leave it to go back to this one once they were in bed.

Other than that the game was quite entertaining.  If you don't mind cartoon  anal probing, I'd say check it out.

I would say with the timing attacks, I'm not great at it, and far worse with the defense, and I'm usually pretty good at twitch.  I can't seem to time Butter's swing around attack or lightning attack almost ever.  I have better luck with the New Guy, but then of course I try them out and use the ones I can time better.  Even so missing a few doesn't necessarily spell defeat, and I haven't had any particular problems defeating any foes.
