800 I'm pretty sure.

Any good then?

Played the demo with my brother there, it was good fun and makes good use of the South Park license with lots of little bonus clips from the series (you will have seen them all if you are a south park fan) and unlockable characters.

The round announcer deserves special mention, as do the comic book panels before each level.

I can't comment on longevity having only played 30 mins of the demo, but the IGN review was particularly scathing. They mentioned it being a poor single player experience, but I don't think it was designed with single player as anything other than a last resort.

800 points, what's that, 10 euro? Probably would be more appealing if it were cheaper. It's well packaged but it's not an original game concept so I think flogging it to a larger audience for less would have been better.

meh they gave it 70 I wouldn't go as far as saying scathing.

The sound and graphics scores prop it up, in terms of gameplay:

Weak as a single player game. Middle of the road as a multiplayer experience.

Scathing, no. Poor word choice on my part, but certainly harsh given what I saw in my brief play time. Maybe he didn't play it on hard.
