Gameplay
File:Scott Pilgrim vs. the World The Game Gameplay.jpg
Loosely following the story of the graphic novels, up to four players can play as Scott Pilgrim, Ramona Flowers, Kim Pine or Stephen Stills, along with the unlockable character NegaScott and the downloadable characters Knives Chau and Wallace Wells, who must battle through seven levels in order to defeat Ramona's seven evil exes. Characters have their own individual movesets, which can be expanded upon by gaining enough experience, and are also able to use weapons. Each player has Heart Points and Guts Points, the latter of which can revive players if they are knocked out, or be used to perform special moves such as summoning Knives or the unlockable assist character Mr. Chau. Defeating enemies earns coins which can be spent in shops to purchase items that can replenish health or boost stats. Certain items can be taken "to go" to be automatically used when the player runs out of health.{{cite magazine |url=https://www.gameinformer.com/games/scott_pilgrim_vs_the_world/b/ps3/archive/2010/06/08/scott-pilgrim-game-first-hands-on.aspx |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100610224708/http://gameinformer.com/games/scott_pilgrim_vs_the_world/b/ps3/archive/2010/06/08/scott-pilgrim-game-first-hands-on.aspx |url-status=live |archive-date=June 10, 2010 |title=Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (Preview) |magazine=Game Informer |publisher=GameStop |last=Vore |first=Bryan |date=2010-06-08 |access-date=2010-06-19}} Players can also enter Subspace areas which act as bonus areas where extra coins can be earned. During co-operative play, players can revive fallen comrades at the cost of some money, give each other health or money, and simultaneously taunt for a combined attack. Various cheat codes unlock extra features, such as a Sound Test, a Boss Rush and a Survival Horror mode.{{cite web |url=http://www.edgarwrighthere.com/2010/08/02/what-one-thing-could-make-the-scott-pilgrim-vs-the-world-game-even-awesome/ |title=What One Thing could make the Scott Pilgrim vs the World game even more awesome? |website=Edgar Wright Here |last=Wright |first=Edgar |date=2010-08-02}}
Development
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game was co-developed by Ubisoft Montreal and Ubisoft Chengdu. The game's art direction and animation was headed by Paul Robertson, whom the company contacted by e-mail.{{cite web |url=http://blog.attractmo.de/post/110324977165/exclusive-scott-pilgrim-the-video-game-music-by |title=Exclusive: Scott Pilgrim the Video Game!

Robertson was responsible for designing and animating the game's sprites, effects, and other aspects. He felt he had "the most creative control" on any game he has worked on, but that he was still restricted by the source material, pleasing the publishers and producers, and programming limitations. Chiptune-based pop and rock band Anamanaguchi performed the soundtrack for the game. Bryan Lee O'Malley, Scott Pilgrim series creator, and Edgar Wright, director of the film adaptation, were also involved in development.{{cite web |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2010/08/10/ubisoft-launches-scottpilgrim-vs-the-world-the-game |title=Ubisoft Launches ScottPilgrim Vs. the World: The Game |website=IGN |publisher=Ziff Davis |author=IGN staff |date=2010-08-10 |access-date=2018-11-28}} O'Malley came to Ubisoft and discussed with the development team how the game's narrative and flow should be handled. He also drew several sketches on which the in-game cutscenes are based. According to O'Malley, he was initially approached by Telltale Games to make a Scott Pilgrim adventure game, but he declined as he could not see it as part of that genre.{{cite web |url=https://www.kotaku.com.au/2011/02/the-scott-pilgrim-video-game-could-have-been-a-big-adventure/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110225175912/http://www.kotaku.com.au/2011/02/the-scott-pilgrim-video-game-could-have-been-a-big-adventure/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=February 25, 2011 |title=The Scott Pilgrim Video Game Could Have Been A Big Adventure |website=Kotaku Australia |publisher=Allure Media |last=McWhertor |first=Michael |date=2011-02-22 |access-date=2016-04-02}} O'Malley designed the concept moves and specials of the playable characters and bosses.

The PlayStation 3 version of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game received "generally favorable reviews", while the Xbox 360 version received "mixed or average" reviews, according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.
IGN praised the game's style and soundtrack but criticizing its lack of online multiplayer or drop-in play. They later named it the 25th best game on Xbox Live Arcade in 2010.{{cite web |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2010/09/16/the-top-25-xbox-live-arcade-games-2?page=2 |title=The Top 15 Xbox Live Arcade Games (Page 2) |website=IGN |publisher=Ziff Davis |author=IGN staff |date=2010-09-16 |access-date=2018-11-29}} Similarly, 1UP.com criticized the PS3 version's difficulty and need for grinding.{{cite web |url=http://www.1up.com/reviews/scott-pilgrim-review |title=Scott Pilgrim Review (PS3) |website=1UP.com |publisher=Ziff Davis |last=Haywald |first=Justin |date=2010-08-11 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160312051131/http://www.1up.com/reviews/scott-pilgrim-review |archive-date=2016-03-12 |url-status=dead |access-date=2018-11-29}} Joystiq said of the same console version that "they couldn't recommend it any higher, especially at 10 bucks." Game Informer called the same console version "the best modern brawler since Castle Crashers."
GameTrailers called said PS3 version "an excellent pastiche that will reaffirm your love for classic beat-em-ups." Kotaku called it "an entertaining little old-school beat-em up that becomes exponentially more entertaining the more friends you play with."{{cite web |url=https://kotaku.com/5611604/scott-pilgrim-vs-the-world-the-game-review-four-player-fan-service |title=Scott Pilgrim Vs.
