Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game

Posted by OmnislashMaster - August 29th, 2010


Now, before you start asking...

No, I have not seen the movie, yet. And believe me, I have been kicking myself for not doing so yet. No, I have also not read any of the comics. Yeah, I can already imagine the shocking appall emanating from many of you out there. In my defense, I haven't read or bought many comics recently. Not by choice, mind you.

But I have been playing the demo (because the ability to accumulate any form of income to buy the full version eludes me at the moment) of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game. And boy, I tell you, it really brings me back to the arcade-style beat-them-ups of the 90s -- tickling my nostalgia and love for retro 16-bit era of gaming. Playing much like every beat-them-up in the industry, it delivers from what you'd expect from the genre. There is one exception. The music. Is. Kick-ass! Techno-esque classic gaming music at it's finest, friends.

For those curious, you can download the demo from the X-Box Marketplace and the PSN Store, and the full game is roughly ten bucks. Totally worth it, I think.

I'm not gonna see the movie and just might not buy the game
I'm gonna do without the Hollywood bullshit and just read the comic
Best not for me support crap movies like that

A bit of a shame, I say. The director of the film is the same Edgar Wright of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. Not to mention the comic book creator was involved in the filming process. And the game is pretty fun.

But to each his own.
