South Park: The Stick of Truth Preview

There's another brief preview for South Park: The Stick of Truth over at ArcadeSushi, based on the game's hands-off presentation at New York Comic-Con. Here's a snippet:
The player split off with Butters to search for the Bard in the basement, where we discovered Jimmy is the man we're looking for, and he's none to keen to give up the secrets of the Stick of Truth. A few elven soldiers were summoned to Jimmy's aid, and the first real battle began. Combat flows from the traditional turn-based style, and both Butters and Sir Douchebag have a few different moves at their disposal including Butters' Hammer of Storms and Douchebag's Bull Rush. With Jimmy in the background enchanting the enemies through song, the battle started off in the favor of the elves. They launched barbed arrows, which inflicted damage and bleeding effects, though after a few turns, our heroes would emerge the victors.

Jimmy then fled upstairs, and Butters and Douchebag gave chase. As the duo navigated the basement, now with more traps and soldiers on guard, we got a look at the way you'll be able to fight foes out of battle. Players could fart on enemies to stun them, or if there was a kerosene lamp nearby, take them out entirely with some flaming flatulence. Whatever status effects were inflicted showed through on the next battle screen, with a few elven troops already damaged or down for the count. Once back upstairs, we found Cartman being roughed up by more of Jimmy's lackeys. Another quick throwdown later, and the demo was over.
