Bike Hero video is a commercial, yet still kind of cool…

Gamecyte, a friend of Sarcasticgamer.com sent us this little ditty.  I’m sure you may have heard about the kick ass video of a dude riding a bike down a trail of Guitar Hero notes in perfect tune to the song “Prisoner of Society” by the Living End, an Austrialian pop-punk band and a dark horse fave of mine.

Check out the video, after the jump. I promise, you won’t be disappointed.

Check it out:

Well, looks like this expertly choreographed piece of film really wasn’t created by a bunch of adolescent Spielbergian disciples, but instead by the Ad Agency Droga5.

Ah well, it’s still pretty entertaining.

    It looks like the song was programmed into the lights on the front of the bike and then the notes on the ground were done on a computer. They just don’t look real.

    However it was done, it was still pretty cool.

    @ Eoco, I think if they where done by PC, they would have done a little more effort to keep the notes on his path, because there are a couple of times when he goes away from the notes due to a wide turn and then he goes back to them.

    I saw this on Kotaku a few days ago, it was amazing. I guess this is another example of viral marketing at it’s best…

    This would’ve been a WAY better commercial for Guitar Hero than repeating the same Risky Business theme over and over again.

    whether or not this was deliberately created to be a viral video, it still rocks… i could not tell at any point that it was fake
