Probably the most overrated beat-em-up since Final Fight 1 or Turtles In Time (Arcade). Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game is chock full of awful design that includes--but not limited to--terrible hitboxes, poor pace, easily-exploitable shop/item mechanic, boring sprite work that rivals the likes of Coke Music and Habbo Hotel, boring scenarios, and the cherry on-top of this is a soundtrack by Anamanaguchi who's music I can only describe as "fake video game music made for movies/television shows."
I know I'm an outlier in this, but I can't help but think most people's actual enjoyment comes from mashing buttons as a brainless beat-em-up and an obsession over sprites when it equals "OMG RETRO!" If 'Stranger Things' is the embarrassingly obnoxious love letter to 80s culture, this poor beat-em-up is the same for video games.
