Scott Pilgrim was a dick and I loathed him, but then he became significantly less of a dick and I loved him. Throughout the course of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s 30-something issues, Scott stared down his past dickish actions and reckoned with the hurt he inflicted. What emerged was a better human being, and a graphic novel series that would rightly go down as one of the best in recent memory.
But what happens when you strip away the growing pains of Scott Pilgrim as a character, removing all the strife and heartache he both doles out and shoulders throughout O’Malley’s saga? You’re left with a guy punching people and robots so hard they explode, I suppose.
That’s what Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World: The Game is, in short. It’s a collection of Scott’s toughest battles and biggest throwdowns, taken out of context and stitched together from the series on which it’s based. It’s cutting and pasting the page-churning showdowns against foes like Todd, Lucas Lee, Matthew Patel, and more into back-to-back gauntlets, throwing a horde of disposal minions in between each boss for good measure.
