Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game (XBLA)

For those that don't know (probably most of us, women...), it all started with a comic book...   Needless to say more, right?  Boys' things...

Ok, so the comic books had some success (well, maybe more than "some") and someone decided to make not only a movie, but a game about it.

Both game and movie were released at the same time, a couple of weeks ago.  We haven't been to the movies yet (I'm trying to arrange for him to go with a friend... hehe) but he's been playing the game for a few days now and I have to say: this is not fun to watch...

Why do I dislike this game? Even if it's just to watch?
Let's start by the looks: it's pixels!  Ok, it's meant to look old-fashion, but it's really irritating!
And the sounds....  Oh, the sounds....
The soundtrack must have no more than 10 seconds (now put it to an hour worth of listening on repeat!).  Not only that, the sound is very electronic. I don't know really how to explain it, but it drives me crazy!

Pros: nothing.
Cons: looks bad, sound awful, silly story.

Wife score: 1/10
