Xbox users, rejoice: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game just hit your console on August 25th. Seriously, go ahead and rejoice. We'll wait. This is a big deal, after all. No longer can your PS3-owning buddies regale you with stories of their Canadian conquests. No longer must you live with the knowledge that the girl of your dreams is entirely unattainable! Now, like your cross-console brothers in arms, you, too, can take to the streets of Toronto in pursuit of true love and righteous ownage.
If you're like me--that is, addicted to old-school beat 'em ups and endlessly charmed by energetic twentysomethings with mad karate skills--you've probably already fired up Scott Pilgrim for a maiden voyage. You've no doubt noticed some of the more obvious Easter eggs and secrets in the game. For example, I imagine you've figured out that in the middle of battle, you can actually pick up a downed buddy and throw him/her at the nasties, Wolverine-style. You've probably also learned that if multiple characters perform their taunts simultaneously, they can launch into a collaborative screen-clearing rock-fest. Still, secrets are a big part of the Scott Pilgrim world: For the feature film, each actor received a list of ten secrets related to his or her character, with instructions to find ways to incorporate them into the performance. Appropriately enough, the video game isn't without its hidden glory. Read on and discover...Three Things You May Not Know About Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game.
1. The all-new soundtrack is by Anamanaguchi
In addition to topping my list of Most Fun Band Names to Scream Out at Unnecessary Volumes, chiptunes band Anamanaguchi does some wonderful stuff with the 8-bit vocabulary. They are the geniuses who created the original soundtrack that populates the Scott Pilgrim game. In a world with no voice acting (characters express themselves instead through emoticon faces), the music is the most important audio feature, and Anamanaguchi delivers. I have left this game's menu open just to listen to the opening theme. I fully believe the soundtrack should be distributed to high schools and mental health clinics as a cure for depression. If you dig the Scott Pilgrim tunes as much as I do, head over to Anamanaguchi's website, where you can snag a new free single every two weeks. Score!
2. There is a zombie mode
Edgar Wright, the director of the Scott Pilgrim movie, is no stranger to the world of the walking dead: One of his most famous films, Shaun of the Dead, showed us the more pedestrian side of the zombie apocalypse. It's only fitting, then, that Scott Pilgrim, Wright's newest everyday hero, should have the chance to battle the shambling horde. With the proper code, you and your friends will be dropped in some kind of horrific, nightmare version of Canada and tasked simply to survive as waves of undead enemies lumber across the screen to sample your frontal lobes. My advice? Hang onto those Guts points, amigos--you'll need them to execute your area attacks, team up for combo-taunts, and bring in Knives to help you out.
3. There are two secret characters
With four characters--Scott, Ramona, Stephen Stills, and Kim Pine--to choose from, Scott Pilgrim's roster is already pretty star-studded--but what's a modern brawler without unlockable characters? Earning certain in-game achievements will allow you to play as two hidden characters: evil duplicate Nega-Scott and sword-swinging father of the year, Mr. Chau. What are these achievements? Nega-Scott is your reward for beating the game with all four starting characters--so hop to it! As for Mr. Chau, you'll just have to keep an eye out for him...
Enjoy your time in Canada and I'll see you guys on the other side of Subspace. Keep those fists a-flyin'!
