My name is Nicholas, and I'm a Scottaholic!

Honestly, Knives may be the obvious choice for the fifth character, but I want Young Neil just because he's one of my favourite characters.

Yeah there have been a lot of conflicting prices about the game. I do know Jeff Rubenstein confirmed $9.99 for PSN on the most recent PSBlog entry about the game, so I would assume XBLA would have essentially the same price, but I'm not sure...

This game should be fantastic, they really missed a big opportunity by not including online CO-OP but I'm sure they have their reasons for it.

As far as I can tell, it was one of the things they had to exclude due to a target release of getting it out around the movie's release date. Or something like that.

This game has oldschool offline co-op written all over it, man. The way it should be played.

It would be a nice bonus, but i think this just adds to the throwback experience.

So it should be a retail game bundled with an arcade machine

Point is that being able to play it with people outside of your room does not take away from the retro experience. NBA Jam has online play, but it's a total throwback title. Some games lend themselves to online multi.

OMG. You can buy clothes and gear like River City Ransom. I'm so happy. Why is $10 for the PSN and 1200 MS points for XBLA? 1200 MS Points = $15

I remember Eurogamer posting their review early before the embargo was lifted, but I still can't tell if the embargo has been removed yet. Hopefully by the time I am on lunch break at work I can put some review links in the OP.

So yeah, I just confirmed something for myself about this game that's making me giddy:
Bosses flash faster the more you attack them
. It's a small thing, sure, but for someone who grew up playing the classic Konami arcade beat-em-ups, it's awesome.

When is the embargo for reviews lifted?

After seeing the movie, I'm excited to play this game! Especially since I love River City Ransom (perhaps my favorite game ever) so I love this style of game play.

So I bought the game via Ubisoft's store just to make double extra sure I got it for 9.99 and the 12 digit PSN code isn't working. Is it possible it won't let you enter codes until the game is "officially" up on the US PSN store?

That's how it works. Once it's put up on the store, it should work.

I was originally going to hold out for the XBLA version, but screw it. It's offline co-op anyway, and I want to play it NOW.

Plus if it ends up being 1,200 points: screw that.

The whole thing's based around Scott Pilgrim's quest to defeat the seven evil exes of his love, Ramona Flowers. As you can imagine, this makes for an ideal game framework: seven levels, seven unique bosses. You've got the snow-covered streets of Toronto, a movie set, highways; the game world is rich and the levels never end looking exactly like they started. Take the movie set for example: You'll be punching and kicking through paparazzi one moment, and fighting creeps in monster costumes the next, all through a "camera lens," Viewtiful Joe-style. (Just wait 'til you get to beat up the guys in the green mo-cap suits.)

Awww. :(

Still a nice review though. Glad to see theres a Boss Rush mode though.

It's a beat-em up. Depending on stage duration that's the perfect length. Who would ever want to sit down and play through a 6+ hour beat-em-up?

I know. I was just hoping for more side levels i guess.

The world map graphic shows way more than just 7 "spots" to stop on the map, but they're arranged by "world" SMB3 style. So like there's multiple stops in world 1. And the first stage is the frozen park - that can't be where you have the fight against Mathew Patel, for example.

Perhaps you can skip to particular Acts for that stage.

Having only recently begun reading Scott Pilgrim (blazed through the first and immediately ordered the rest after that), I now want this game yesterday. It looks like a blast, but I'll read the rest of the comics first.

Eurogamer seems to dock it points just because it is a "licensed" game, and not because being licensed /makes it a bad game/. A third of the review is nothing but whining about how being a licensed game undermines the integrity of gaming or something :p

For chrissake. How could there /not/ be a "licensed" game for Scott Pilgrim. It's like the one license on the planet that demands to be made into a game.

It'll still be fun, but Hil in IGN's review said the game is balanced for co-op. So you have to grind your lvl up to beat some of the later stages easily.
