Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game is a side-scrolling beat 'em up game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and Ubisoft Chengdu and published by Ubisoft, based on the Scott Pilgrim series of Oni Press graphic novels by Bryan Lee O'Malley and tying in with the release of the film of the same name. The game was originally released digitally for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in August 2010 before being delisted in December 2014. An updated re-release for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Microsoft Windows, Amazon Luna and mh:crappygames:Stadia, titled Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game – Complete Edition, was released on January 14, 2021.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) Awesome 8-bit graphics.
 * 2) Awesome chiptune soundtrack by Anamanaguchi.
 * 3) Easy-to-learn controls.
 * 4) Like the movie, the game follows the story of the original game.
 * 5) Different endings for the game depending on which character you play as.
 * 6) Awesome minigames.
 * 7) Characters that did not appear in the movie make their appearance here.
 * 8) Unlike most Ubisoft games, this one doesn't feature their infamous downgraded graphics, because the graphics of this game are not in 3D CGI.

Overall

 * 1) The game can be beaten in a short amount of time if you max the stats of your character early on in the game.
 * 2) Like most Ubisoft games, the game has lots of bugs & glitches.

Original

 * 1) During launch, the game doesn't have an online mode. But when it got added to the game a few years later, you have to pay to unlock it. Looks like Ubisoft took a page out of the business practices of mh:crappygames:Electronic Arts.

Complete Edition

 * 1) False advertising: The game's trailer claims that all of its DLC from the original game are available at launch, but in reality, Knives is missing from the game, and you need to connect your Ubisoft account to the game just to play as her.
 * 2) * To add salt to the wound, the physical copies of the game from Limited Run Games have the same version of this game.
 * 3) For the Windows version, the game's minimum requirements of Intel i5-2500K - 3.3Ghz/AMD FX-6350 - 3.9Ghz for the CPU, Nvidia GTX 660 - 2GB/AMD 270x - 2GB/Intel UHD 630 for the GPU, and 8 GB for the RAM are ridiculous, as the game is just a port of the original game from 2010. Honestly, they should lower the minimum specs for the game, as the graphics of this game aren't that demanding.

Trivia

 * 1) The game was released 3 days before the movie came out in the US.
 * 2) It is the only beat 'em-up game that Ubisoft has ever made.
