As mentioned, this game would aim to reinvigorate a lost gaming genre while capturing the nuance and the wackiness of the Scott Pilgrim franchise. This game plays like classic side-scrolling arcade beat-em-ups like Streets of Rage, Golden Axe, Double Dragon, Shinobi, The Simpsons Arcade Game and TMNT: The Arcade Game. By offering a zany, arcade-style beat-em-up that would attempt to revive a forgotten genre within the industry. However, instead of doing to conventional licensed movie tie-in game, this title would try to capture the essence of the Scott Pilgrim series in the best way possible. So it seemed only natural that in 2010, the franchise would try its hand at a video game. The series has seen comic book success, produced an iconic movie and musically, it has produced a number of cracking ditties too. Buy it now.Scott Pilgrim Vs the World: The Game is the game from the SP franchise has seen success in just about any avenue it’s ventured. Does this sound appealing to you? It should. Shoulder buttons are magic attacks, one of which summons Knives Chau. The game play ordinary as the controls are: you walk left to right, punching everyone you meet along the way, you get money, which you can use in stores to increase your stats, every level ends in a boss fight which is usually an evil ex. The buttons on the controller are mapped to light, heavy, jump and block, and later you learn how to throw. Beat'em Up If you've played a beat'em up ever, this game will be pretty familiar to you. You might not get this from the game, though- it has barely any storyline, but does feature just about all the main locations and characters from the comic, as well as a couple made up purely for the sake of the game. Since him dating her, falling in love and maybe getting married would be boring, he has to defeat her seven evil ex-boyfriend's if he wants to continue dating her. He's a lazy irresponsible 23-year-old Canadian who dates a mysterious American delivery-girl Ramona Flowers. If you don't know anything about Scott Pilgrim, allow me to explain what it's about: Scott Pilgrim is about Scott, the comic/movie/game's namesake and main character. Plays Almost as Well as it Looks (and Sounds) If you like Scott Pilgrim and games, skip this review and buy this game. Even though the game play is well beyond being merely competent, the thing that really won me over was the awesome, comic inspired look, sharp retro soundtrack, a Toronto that looks like it fell out of Super Mario, and some nice video game and referential humor. Scott Pilgrim is the perfect example of how a game can put style before game play to great effect.
