I remember some days ago I criticized a Kinect Sports ad because it shows pretty much only game footage and not people playing the game. Well in that regard those ads were a lot better. The first one had the children cuteness factor, but apart from that I think it was rather lame. Simply because what we saw the children do (waving your fingers and lying on the gound) did not at all remind me of interaction with a pet. The second video looked a bit more fun, but in contrast to the other two videos the problem of being forced to stand instantly came into my mind. The actors seemed like being nailed to the ground and I saw no good reason why they had to stand. The last video would be the one most likely to catch my interest, even though most of the gameplay (=running in place) did not seem to be long fun either. Football was the only sport this ad would make me interested in trying out. |

Here is what we call a good ad. Whatever these videos are, I have no idea.
V: And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to the now high chancellor, Adam Sutler. He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent. Last night I sought to end that silence.
