We are Sex Bob-Omb!

Game Title: Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game

Publisher: Ubisoft

If you follow the blog, you already know I am a Scott Pilgrim fan(atic). Have to books, a few plushies, a shirt, and saw the movie twice (once for free). So when this game was announced, I of course had to have it!

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game, is based on the comic, that spawned the film. However, the game, released to accompany the movie, is more related to the comic than the film, even though all feature the same characters. Confused yet. Please don't be because none of it really matters. What really matters is this game kicks ass!

Released on the Playstation Network and X-Box Marketplace so you won't find this in store, SPVTWTG features old school game play that harkens back to the days of Double Dragon and River City Ransom. You beat up bad guys, collect money, buy upgrades, and get that damn Anamanaguchi soundtrack stuck in your head for days (yes, it's that good).

You can play as Scott, Ramona, Stephen Stills, and/or Kim Pine. You can have up to four players at once trashing baddies, in off-line co-op, which is a blessing to me as I don't care for online multiplayer. So you and three of your nearest and dearest can get some good epic quality time in there.

Did I mention this game kicks ass? I played the hell out of this thing, 100% on the trophies baby! Finished the game with all four character, unlocked Mr. and Ms. Chau and random strikers, unlocked Nega Scott as the fifth playable character. You name it, I did it.

Also, old school charm are the codes you can enter at the start screen. Down, Up, Right, Down, Up Right, Down, Up, Right, Right, Right (or Dur, Dur, Durrr) turns all the baddies into zombies. There is also a nifty code that unlocks the Power of Love sword from the end of the game so you can use it at the beginning of each world and sub-world. A few other codes exist too but I will let you discover them on your own.

So, pick this up. It's $10. It's about 20-25 hours worth of game play to unlock everything. The graphics are amazing, the music tremendous, and like everything Scott Pilgrim, the overall experience is epic.

Next Level: Brutal Legend
