Boss Rush is great! I made it through 9 bosses in ten minutes. Battle Royale requires me to have local players to fight in a ring, so I could not try this out, unfortunately. I tried out the Extra Game modes, Dodgeball is fun to try out a couple of times but didn’t really hook me. I finished the final level, watched the credits, and instantly started a new game with Ramona Flowers on the next highest difficulty. This might sound like I do not like the game but I love this game. I would play World 7 over and over again if it meant I never have to play World 2 again. A there’s still another section and boss battle! If you happen to still have any lives by then do not die because you will have to start over! This World is too long!Īside from my issues with World 7, being able to hit my stride and get through that entire level really felt incredible and it was nowhere near my frustration with World 2. Luckily that was the break I needed, I hit a perfect run for the first phase, got to what I thought was Gideon’s last phase, beat him, and to my dismay and disbelief that wasn’t even it. Then I got to Gideon’s next phase, which I thought was the last! Another embarrassing amount of tries, I struggle to get anywhere near taking him down before I put the controller down and take a break. Needless to say, that was the next area of struggle to get through, but I did it. There’s a pathway after the first phase of Gideon that relies heavily on knowing where you are landing or stepping, there are also giant drops of red goo or blood that have splash damage which can also knock you off the platform. Going in blind with three lives, at max level, I struggled to get through the initial first two phases of the World. The issue I had was with World 7, which is pretty much the final showdown with Gideon, the final Ex Boyfriend. The next paragraph will contain spoilers if you haven’t played, so warning about spoilers for a game that came out ten years ago!
SCOTT PILGRIM VS THE WORLD THE GAME RE RELEASE PATCH
I was eventually able to get through the rough patch and get past it, but even replaying it on hard mode I instantly felt my fun meter dip when I hit that World again. In particular, the enemies that were dressed as dinosaurs and robots with lasers. An example is World 2, where the enemies were extremely frustrating to fight early on with my character not highly equipped with an arsenal of moves. I did feel there was an odd spike in difficulty for some levels compared to others.
As you battle through the game to defeat Ramona’s Evil Exes I really found myself enjoying the fights, environments, combat system, and the visuals of the comic book brought to life version of Scott Pilgrim.
