The ESRB rating summary for South Park: The Stick of Truth contains some illuminating details that should pique the interest of long-term fans of the series.

Contained in the wall of text (see below) are plot details and spoilers, which confirm that the game will feature violence, swearing, nudity, sex scenes (out-of-focus), plenty of bum jokes (aliens with anal probes and a level set inside a rectum), and drugs references.

Here's the complete summary (not suitable for the faint hearted or those who want to avoid spoilers): This is a role-playing adventure game based on the animated South Park TV show. Players assume the role of a new kid in town who embarks on various quests with other boys in the neighborhood. Players can engage in turn-based combat, selecting attacks from a menu screen. Players use various weapons (swords, baseball bats, hammers), magic spells and melee attacks during fights; blood-splatter effects sometimes occur. Cutscenes occasionally depict "cartoony" characters dismembered or decapitated. The game includes several instances of mature humor and sexual material: one extended sequence depicts characters getting anally probed by alien creatures; another sequence (in an abortion clinic) depicts doctors using a vacuum to perform procedures on male characters; one level takes place inside the rectum/colon of a character (sex toys, random objects and fecal matter appear in the level)-all sequences are depicted in a cartoony and over-the-top manner. Characters are occasionally depicted nude (e.g., breasts, buttocks, male genitalia); one extended sequence depicts an out-of-focus couple having sex in the background; as players engage in turn-based battle in the foreground, sexual moaning sounds/dialogue is heard. During the course of the game, drug paraphernalia can be seen strewn around a methamphetamine lab. The words "f**k," "sh*t," "a*shole," and "f*ggot" can be heard in the dialogue.

The Stick of Truth (which is being developed by Obsidian Entertainment with assistance from Trey Parker and Matt Stone, and will be published by Ubisoft on March 6) has been rated M for Mature by the ESRB classification board. Not a huge surprise really...
