It's fair to say 2010's Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World The Game was the game to spark the beat 'em up revival that led to all-time greats like Streets of Rage 4, River City Girls, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge. So I was pretty excited to see the game would be getting a sequel with a completely original story and a cast of characters that is way more varied. But despite its great combat, Scott Pilgrim EX sadly feels like it's fallen behind the very renaissance it created.
This time around the members of Toronto's greatest band, Sex Bob-Omb, have been kidnapped by the not-at-all-inspired-by-Sonic-CD Metal Scott, and with three of the playable cast members of the previous game in captivity, Ramona Flowers calls in some favors, with 4 evil exes – and one evil ex's robot – joining forces with Scott and Ramona to save the band.
