Bigger speed, longer jumps, better cut!
A patch has been released for South Park: Tenorman's Revenge, with the developers hoping that it will greatly improve the gameplay experience. Included within the update is the new ability to swap between characters in the middle of a level, meaning players could in theory start the level as Kenny and end as Cartman. Furthermore, players can now drop out of a local game without the game ending, jump around 5 tiles higher and move about 30% faster.
Here is the whole list of changes included within the update:

• 2-hit enemies will not damage a player who touch them while they’re taking damage
• Enemies hit from the side will get knocked back briefly instead of continuing to walk forward
• Landing on Spiky Gingers uses butt bounce for easier avoidance of a 2nd hit

That's a lot of difficulty tweaks, was the game exceptionally hard at launch?
I played the trial, it didn't seem that bad, but I'm waiting for it to go DotW. |

| I like all the "Tweak" references. Sounds like the game needed more Tweak. Hopefully this will make it more enjoyable when I get it on DotW. |

Later levels were a drag and provided little fun. Pretty sure the achievements remain difficult. |

Being able to change characters is a nice addition, will make collecting the mega men easier.
The game itself was not too difficult not easy but not super meat boy either. The problem is when you join someone elses game it was the lag that was killing people not their skill level. |
