| disolitude said: I don't see anything awesome here. You are asking about the ad itself right... The game may be great but the ad is the lamest commercial I've ever seen. As someone who plays guitar and has played in many real bands I want to run the people in this commercial with a Mac truck... |
I don't think the idea of GH is built around providing guitarists with an alternative. If that was the case then you would have a point about the commercial, but since its aimed at allowing those who aren't guitarists in bands (ie pretty much everyone) you don't really have a point.
To borrow the phrasing from Malstrom I could say that the job the GH product is hired to do is to allow consumers to feel like they are having a rockstar experience. Even if the actual rockstar experience differs greatly what is important to the consumer is that the experience seem right to them, not that it be factually accurate. To that end the commercial doesn't have to be completely true to the rockstar experience or seem "cool" or "correct" to someone who has had that experience.
Aside from that I can think of several commercials that are far more lame than this one. But then again your point was dramatic emphasis and I doubt you were being serious. Of course if you were it just means you've managed to avoid the many many horrible commercials that are aired on a daily basis....not to mention the ones that have been posted here on VGC over time.
