As movie video games go…well, they don’t generally go very well. While films take around two years to finish, most video games require twice that. Such a severely shortened production schedule guarantees an end product worth very little to anyone. Despite these disadvantages, Ubisoft’s adaptation of the upcoming Scott Pilgrim vs. The World seems to be coming along quite nicely.

In line with the films’ basic premise, the game appears to be a side-scrolling beat-em-up that still manages a few tugs at the ol’ heartstrings. To back up the majesty of the screenshots below, Bryan Lee O’Malley has assured us that Ubisoft intends to treat his baby with respect.
