Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World - The Game
PS3/XBOX 360
Review By Chris Nolen
Even more so than movies, videogames are the ideal medium to retell the story of the Scott Pilgrim novels. After all, the very structure of the tale is built around videogame conventions: boss battles, leveling up, co-operative play, and statistics. For a more detailed recap of the how this story works, view my full review of the graphic novel series here. Now if you are up to speed, let me say that a giant kudos goes out to the minds Ubisoft and the marketing team at Universal Pictures, who somehow managed to not only tell the story well in its natural format, but miraculously picked the most absolutely perfect game to emulate in doing so...the side-scrolling beat'em up, River City Ransom (RCR.)
