PLATFORMS: ARCADE AND PS3
GENRE: FIGHTING ACTION
Scott Pilgrim has given his 8-bit heart to Ramona Flowers. Only problem is that in order to be with Ramona, Scott must defeat her seven evil exes. Guess he didn't read eHarmony's fine print. No problem for Scott though, as he and a group of friends are all set to kick, punch, throw, pummel, and explode anyone who stands in their way.
Note that I said one of the coolest, not one of the best. For all the fun you'll have with Scott Pilgrim, it has two unforgivable omissions: No online gameplay and no instant drop-in/drop-out co-op play. That means you and three friends must sit on a couch together, share the same air (yech), and start from the main menu together. Come on, even Streets of Rage had drop-in co-op.
Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World is really enjoyable, even if at times it can be really frustrating. The music is incredible and it has an amazing style unlike anything else out there. If only it had online co-op. But it doesn't. And so, while really cool, Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World is far from perfect.
