#SCOTT PILGRIM VS THE WORLD GAME REVIEW SERIES#

While each character starts with a very simple move set of light and heavy attacks, all of which can be developed upon by defeating enemies and gaining experience points, you’ll soon learn that leveling up is such an arduous and monotonous process that it takes far longer than a simple run through the first level to even come close to having a move set capable of taking on the rest of the game.

Originally released in 2010 to coincide with the release of Edgar Wright’s film adaptation of the beloved Bryan Lee O’Malley graphic novel series, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game is likely the most infamous example of a game delisted from digital storefronts.
