Playing through this game a few times only did one thing: inspire me to read books 1 - 6. It's the only graphics novel I've read outside of the Bone series back in the day. I must say, very funny stuff. Playing back through the game made sense this way too.

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.
Inspired to read the graphic novels...
" I read Scott Pilgrim and I wouldn't consider it to be a graphic novel. It is clearly a comic book. "It's listed as a Graphic Novel on the books :/
The books were very good, I only read the first three when I saw the movie, then promptly finished the last three after getting home. I've just been procrastinating on getting the game.
I've picked up all the graphic novels the day they have come out since volume 3. You are so lucky now if you are buying them and not having to wait a year to a year and a half gap per volume.
They are really good though and are probably one of my favorite graphic novels ever.

I've got the big 1000 odd page tome. Its such a fantastic read.
"The gap between 4 and 5 was two years. I couldn't have done that, I would have killed someone. "
Maybe that is why it had a nifty foil cover when it finally came out. I didn't even realize it was that long.
I'm probably going to reread the whole thing in one sitting this weekend.

I read the graphic novels in a week, and finished a couple days ago; good stuff. Now I really want to play the game.
I think I ended up enjoying the movie more thanks to the graphic novels -- there are a ton of winks and nods to the audience in the movie if you've read the books.
On that night, I would have hated having to wait years between volumes, especially with some of the cliffhangers in the books. (Poor Scott...)
