The Mad World commercial, while awesome, is nothing but an overly buff guy walking around and shooting things to quiet music. The KZ2 ad was no better (it sucked). I don't think the Gears ad has anything on the GC 2009 Uncharted 2 trailer.

You're intitled to your opinion, but the Gears commmercial has over 6 million views on that single youtube upload, and probably a lot more once you add in all the other uploads of the same video on youtube and other sites. People like to watch it.

I don't disagree with those 6 million people. It's one of the best ads I've seen for a game. But I don't see how it tells a story.

It tells a story of a solitary soldier fighting on a ruined world. There is a sadness demonstrated by the way he looks at a broken statue and the music reinforces that emotion. Just when you think he's about to get out of trouble, oh crap huge monster!



Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.
