Scott Pilgrim Saves the Playstation
Scott Pilgrim Saves the World: The Game is quite a throw back. It sets you in the shoes of one of the 4 main characters (Scott Ramona, Kim, and the guy who thinks he's to cool for school who i forget his name right now). You go through the game in a super mario esque way, moving on through a world map after you complete each side scrolling level. Each level is beautifully designed and animated, adding a real atmosphere to the game. Each move is also specially animated, giving all the new moves you get leveling up a really special feel. One of the problems here though is that this is really an old school beat em' up. The fighting is fun, but the enemies go down way too hard, and before you can even beat them, you die first. Besides being a tad hard and just a tad repetitive, this game is a real treat on the PSN and im sure its just the same on XBLA. Four player co-op on same screen and the absolutely sublime soundtrack done by 8-bit heroes Animaniguchi are great touches as well. Recommended
