289292, not that I'd try to convince anyone to spend their money, but

I played this for five hours earlier today and only just finished my first day in town and hit level 6 (no idea what the level cap is) before Walking Dead S02E02 dropped and I had to get my priorities in order. Given that, I'm betting there's a good 12-18 hours of content in here and all of it is just as quality as anything the show has to offer, if not better because it's constantly poking fun at what these video games are while doing a lot of things with a lot more originality than most fantasy RPGs are willing to shoot for. I'm playing as a mage and your basic lightning attack is taking a bucket of water, throwing it at your enemies, pulling out a car battery and sparking the wires as you throw them onto the water.


There's one particular gag during the first day's final section that will tickle anyone who's been a fan of epic sci-fi games like Mass Effect and Bioshock this past generation. This is easily one of the funniest games to come along in a long time and not just because of the South Park stuff. It's got a rogue, Saints Row kind of agenda to it also. And the random things people say around town rival most of the incidental stuff from a Grand Theft Auto game; the cops and Tweek's dad in particular are hilarious.
