Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game is the video game companion to Bryan Lee O’Malley’s cult graphic novel series, Scott Pilgrim. Loosely dictated by the plot of the graphic novels, as many as four players can control the title character, his would-be girlfriend Ramona Flowers, Kim Pine, or Stephen Stills as well as the unlockable character NegaScott and Knives Chau and Wallace Wells via download. The object is to vanquish all of Ramona’s seven evil exes. Each character has a unique moveset, expandable by gaining experience, and all characters have access to weapons.
