This is several reviews all together.
The Game:
A classic beat-em up in the styling of River City Ransom.
It follows a hybrid of the graphic novels and the movie, but mostly the novels. And as such it works well. The game play is fun, but the real treat is the soundtrack...
The Game Soundtrack:
Amanamgachi does the soundtrack and it is absolutely fantastic.
The Game's DLC:
(Coming soon, around fridayish)
The Blu Ray:
This thing is phenomenal. Hours and hours of bonus features. Scott Pilgrim commentaries. Scott Pilgrim The Animation. And hundreds of awesome throw backs.
The best part is that this fairly faithful adaptation was actually more faithful when you look at the deleted scenes. This movie could have been about half an hour longer, and I'd love to see that cut of this movie. I'm still awaiting the day when we get the option to watcha movie with deleted scenes reinserted. But whatever, that's down the line at some point. However, this blu ray is incredibly strong. The picture is pretty good. Its not nearly as poppy as the original film, but it's still good. The sound is out of the ball park. And in this film, it needed to be.
I'm going to give this release an A. You should own this movie. It even comes with a dvd of the movie too.
The Digital copy:
Good sized file, good quality. Not HD but still, nice.
All in all, Scott Pilgrim kicks ass. Anything not graded, it just felt redundant to grade A. The game, the movie, the books. They are worth your time, here's some links so you can buy them!
