Kind of disappointing that despite being released on PSN/XBLA weeks apart this game still hasn't gotten any kind of official GB review. Although the QL for this was pretty bullshit and Jeff didn't seem to really care about this game at all. Brad didn't even get to play, and it seemed like he wanted to. I'm sure the review would have been 2/3 stars, but I'm just surprised they didn't do it at all. Its not a long game!
I don't really care, I am having a great time w/ the game, its just curious that it got left out.

Beat up a lot of people to win the heart of your girlfriend in this retro-themed 2D side-scrolling beat-em-up based on the Scott Pilgrim series of graphic novels.
I guess Giantbomb isn't reviewing this?
Not to mention that the game is ridiculously fun. I figure the QL is good enough, they don't really need to review it.

" The Quick look was surprisingly negative I really don't think I want a review. "These statements pretty much sum it up. A few of the user reviews *cough* weren't so bad. I don't think I'd want to read a review by the staff after that super negative and biased QL.
The QL gave a pretty good indication of what a review probably would've been like, but then again, Quick Looks have been deceptive (the one for Darksiders definitely made the game seem like a 2 or 3 star review, but then it was given 4, for example).
I'm okay with no review. Most of the people who were interested have probably already made up their minds about the game anyways.
Based on the comments it like you'd only want a review if it's favourable, so is there a point in them reviewing it, when it seems you'd instantly dismiss it.
I am the worst critic. :D
The people that like Scott Pilgrim already have the game and the ones that don't never will. There's no need for a review for a game like this.
whatever happend to the giantbomb that would give us good video reviews and such, Its like much of the video content on the side has went towards stupid crap instead of indepth reviews and such...

What kind of person would want to watch an indepth video review of Scott Pilgrim?
I can understand that you want to see a GB review of a game you obviously enjoy. But I have to also ask you; why? You already have it, and you already seem satisfied by buying it. So what would a GB review give you? Either a pat on the shoulder saying "yes, you bought the right thing", or a slap on the face saying "bad man, you spent money on a bad product". And obviously a negative review would just make you angry and probably write more dumb threads than this.
Sorry, don't mean to come off as a jerk, I just don't understand why people so desperatly want to see reviews of games, especially on those they already have and personally enjoy.
Eh. Yeah, this was a good/great game, but I don't mind the fact there's no review. It would have been nice to see a five star review for Red Dead Redemption though. That may very well be my favorite game of the year so far. The only reason I don't like the fact there was no review was because, how would it factor in to game of the year? I'm not saying it should win since the year isn't over, but still. As for Scott Pilgrim, that's probably my favorite PSN game of the year.

"Its not that I want a review, I just thought the game was big enough to warrant one. Just surprised that it didn't get reviewed. I don't care either way, as I enjoyed it quite a bit.

"They didn't review Red Dead Redemption, and that's the biggest game this year. They seem to pick and choose what they review, and they just didn't want to or didn't have time. Not really to do with whether or not it's big.

I guess they didn't review it cause nobody from the crew cared enough about it
Here's your review
- Do you like Scott Pilgrim?
- Do you like River City Ransom?
- Then buy it.
They didn't review Red Dead. I can see why they wouldn't review this. The fact that they didn't seem interested at all in it would be the reason I think.
" Here's your review: "You run to the right and fight dudes. The game encapsulates the personality of the franchise, so it delivers the Scott Pilgrim-style of humor and character fans would expect. Oh, and it's fucking hard to play by yourself, bring a friend". "Hahahaha, bravo sir.
I did not like the game one bit but if they reviewed it and gave it a negative score people would go crazy.
Pretty much this. None of the staff seems to have any interest in the Scott Pilgrim universe to begin with, so (judging from the quicklook) they would miss why the game is so great. I would much rather have GB pick and choose what to review based on their interest in the games rather than how 'big' the game is." Man if you like this game why do you need somebody elses opinion, yours is the only one that matters. "
" @Damien said:I don't need my purchase justified by the staff of GB, I just thought it was weird they didn't bother to review it."
