Released as a tie-in for Edgar Wright's film adaptation of Bryan Lee O'Malley's popular comic series of the same name, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is an old-school styled beat em up inspired heavily by Technos' 1989 NES brawler River City Ransom. The game features large, colorful sprites animated quite well by Paul Robertson, who puts a little too much bounce into some of the game's cartoon children. With a soundtrack by Anamanaguchi blending rock music and 8-bit sounds and supervision by the comic's author, Scott Pilgrim has a lot going for it. In spite of all that, it's not a very good game.
