Fans of the original are likely to pick up the Complete Edition if for no other reason than to experience the soundtrack again, and they will be justly rewarded. They are simply wizards with retro artwork, and that’s especially evident here. While it’s very true Ubisoft owns the rights to it, I’m aware that the team that originally developed it was Tribute Games. It’s only made better by the fact that it fits the game’s retro vibe so well. The World Complete Edition is still an absolutely beautiful game.

SCOTT PILGRIM VS THE WORLD GAME SWITCH REVIEW FULL
The World: The Game music is some of the best in a video game, full stop. Created by Anamanaguchi, the Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game’s biggest selling point is arguably its chiptune soundtrack. Again, the game may be short (it’s only $15, mind you) but there is so much creativity throughout that it flies by.īut beyond the stunning retro visuals, Scott Pilgrim vs. Each of the 7 evil ex-boyfriends bring a different flavor to the experience, while still keeping within the confines of a beat ‘em up. The World: The Game hits that mark with aplomb. Enemy variety is also consistent until the very end, with players constantly challenged by new foes throughout the 3-hour runtime.īoss battles are typically a highlight for beat ‘em up games and Scott Pilgrim vs. The game does rely on some familiar tropes of the beat ‘em up genre, but mixes them with the Scott Pilgrim IP in a way that makes sense. The 16-bit art style is extremely creative and every level is varied and bursting with personality. The World: The Game still has a lot of exceptional qualities.

It is short, as is the case with most beat’em ups, but has decent replay value as a solo player and has exponentially more longevity with friends. Outside of some finicky combat, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game Complete Edition is a brilliant homage to both classic arcade beat’em ups and the niche beat’em up RPG subgenre.
