    Este Videojuego es el mejor ejemplo de como hacer un videojuego sobre una pelicula, un juegazo que merece no ser olvidado una completa joya de los beat em up

    SPVTW:TG is a great game and a homage to the whole game scenery in general, a full basket of easter eggs and references (just like the comic and the movie).
    There are several criticism here about this game (some are correct) so I will try to help you if you should buy this game or not.
    First of all, this is a beat'em up, so I assume you're a fan of the genre. Secondly, it's about the    SPVTW:TG is a great game and a homage to the whole game scenery in general, a full basket of easter eggs and references (just like the comic and the movie).
    There are several criticism here about this game (some are correct) so I will try to help you if you should buy this game or not.

    First of all, this is a beat'em up, so I assume you're a fan of the genre. Secondly, it's about the Scott Pilgrim Universe so of course you'll enjoy it 1000 times more if you're already a fan.

    And lastly, the whole gameplay is based/inspired by NES' River City Ransom (RCR). Everything. You have stat upgrades through shopping and items, heavy "weapon" usage and overwhelming enemy count and behavior. Controllers are also almost the same as RCR (a little frustrating as well). FOR ME its not an issue, I think controlling your character is really nice. If you're struggling and getting your ass handed to you, either level up a little more (you unlock new moves by leveling up) or spend your money on useful food (some only restores HP while others permanently raises your stats).

    That said:
    PROS:
    - REALLY awesome music by Anamanaguchi
    - Graphics
    - 4 player
    - Really nice story and very faithful to the comics if your're a fan
    - Enjoyable even if your're not a SP fan

    CONS:
    - It is, all in all, an unbalanced game. You're very underpowered on the beginning and can be almost a god in the end (it's very satisfiying though)
    - Gameplay wise, you're knocked down a lot and it's very annoying. Everytime you're knocked down it takes 2, 3 seconds to stand up. To be knocked down again. Later in the game you get a move to "cancel" knocking while falling but still annoys me.
    - There is a nasty bug (ps4pro and ps5) game freezing on the end of stage 3. Ubisoft didnt fix this yet. Solution: scale down resolution to 720p on your system settings.
    - Requires a little bit of grinding if you really wanto to get stronger. By grinding I mean spending 60-90minutes replaying some missions to get money to buy upgrades. It's fun if you're playing with friends, though, and you can also lend money to them to balance things.
    - Shopping is slow and trial and error for stat boosting, you dont know what stat will be enhanced unless you buy it first or look on the internet.
    - Some bugs here and there (nothing major except the Stage 3 but mentioned above)

    SPVTW:TG is a GREAT game to play alone or with friends, a basket full of easter eggs and a really great soundtrack to listen to while you fight all 7 stages kicking hipster ass. it is a little unbalanced at first so difficulty can oscilate but if you have grown on the 80s-2000 you are probably accostumed to this kind of gameplay so buy it and enjoy.    … Expand

    El mejor juego beatemup del 2010 ha regresado, la verdad te trae demasiados recuerdos pasar una tarde con tus amigos después del colegio jugando hasta el cansancio.
    Su regreso es fenomenal

    i really liked the game. The stages are really similar to the movie scenarios and the soundtrack is really good. The only problem are the controlers, that are really bad. While playing I usely pick up something on the ground while beating someone.

    In just four hours you're all set, but thanks to the multiplayer mode you can easily add several more hours. For less than 15 euros you can't expect an absolute masterpiece, but you get some carefree entertainment that will catapult you back to the 90s.

    While the complete edition is a fun blast from the past Scott Pilgrim vs The World The Game it is just that. It's a game from a different time that has some trouble keeping up with the new games in town. The addition of an online co-op is nice though.

    Scott Pilgrim vs the World: The Game is amongst the best that the beat em’ up genre has to offer. The game feels like one of the few purely-good entertainment that this volcanic eruption of a planet we reside on has to offer.
