The value story

It is less well reviewed than 93 percent of its genre. On the same math Scott Pilgrim vs. The World™: The Game – Complete Edition ($14.99, scores 30) and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge ($24.99, scores 64) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.
