Scott Pilgrim EX is an interesting one. It sets out to do things a little differently than its cult classic predecessor in almost every regard. They could've merely gotten the band back together to do a straightforward sequel, making up for all the bugs and balance issues that arose from having to rush the first game out to release it alongside the movie. But they didn't. Instead EX looks different, it sounds different, it's structured differently, and the roster of playable characters is entirely different aside from the obligatory Scott and Ramona. I think this mostly works out and makes for a creatively worthwhile followup that does new things with the franchise, though there are some pacing issues that keep me from being completely crazy about it.
