Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game - Complete Edition Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
I’m fully confident in saying that the soundtrack to Scott Pilgrim is one of the best in the entire industry. Composed and performed by chiptune band Anamanaguchi, every track is memorable and absolutely bopping. It evokes the nostalgia of a retro soundtrack while taking advantage of modern audio quality to create a soundtrack that you can easily listen to for hours outside of the game.
Bursting at the seams with charm, Scott Pilgrim vs the World: The Game makes a welcome return with the Complete Edition, further polishing an already brilliant title and bringing it to a new audience
This shouldn’t deter you from at least giving Scott Pilgrim Complete a look if you’re on the hunt for some more beat ’em up content. If you’re fresh off the likes of Streets of Rage 4 or River City Girls, I feel like this stands next to them pretty handily. Couch multiplayer fans will feel comfortable enough taking in the short runtime, even with a few rough edges. Certain elements here ultimately amount to nitpicks, but the total package still holds up today.
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game made good on the promise that movie tie-in games usually failed to keep, and the Complete Edition proves that virtually the entire package is just as enjoyable over a decade later.
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game is just as fans will remember it and that alone will be worth the price of admission for a lot of people. Experiencing the levels and hearing the music again is a nostalgic experience, in a variety of ways. That being said, the game’s clunky combat has been virtually untouched, which will be a turn-off to gamers looking for a refined beat ‘em up experience. And the crashes were not something one would expect from a port. Still, getting together with friends and bashing baddies on the way to winning Ramona’s heart is a fun distraction for a few hours.
There’s only one way to properly start this review:
After a six year absence, Scott Pilgrim is once again back for blood. Aside from a few technical issues that will hopefully be ironed out soon, there is no reason to ignore the siren's call for a second time. It's high time to suit up and kick some bass.
Barring its numerous bugs and shoddy netcode, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game - Complete Edition captures the spirit of the IP quite well. The leveling system makes the title a bit of a cakewalk, but the presentation makes up for its shortcomings.
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game is a strange case. Although it released to generally positive reviews in 2010, its claim to fame has more to do with its disappearance from storefronts than any award or achievement. Generally believed to be a case of an expired license, it was removed from stores in 2014. Now we’ve finally got it back for Xbox, PS4, PC, and Switch. Worthy of note here is that this is not a remaster nor a remake – this is a rerelease, virtually the same as the origina...
“Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is a fun trip down memory lane for fans of the original, though its shortcomings stand out over a decade later.”
Inspired by the six graphic novels of Bryan Lee’s Scott Pilgrim and the 2010 Movie, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game – Complete Edition is 2D arcade-style beat’em up title that is simply nostalgic. The game has now been remastered, and for the individuals who were griefly baffled over the first game’s removal, this game is there to safeguard and assist you with remembering the delightful recollections.
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World was, at the time, an incredibly challenging and solid beat’em up. While the original game was pulled from digital storefronts a few years ago, it’s back and playable on current and next-gen consoles. While the game is certainly still a great time, the genre has seen sever
