Scene It? Cheesiest Gaming Commercial Ever?

October 25, 2007 in Video comments 12

Let's completely ignore the gaming commercials of the late 80s and early 90s because, let's face it, you don't get much cheesier than that! But what about nowadays? Surely gaming commercials have become more "serious" since then?
... Maybe not! Microsoft has managed to out-cheese themselves with the new Scene It? commercial, which looks like it's been plucked directly from a 90s sitcom. Awww, so corny! So full of cheese!



"Alright, so it's Friday night and I'm a eunuch, and I'm all about having my friends over just like a mid 90's sitcom. You know, kicking back, dancing stupid, trying to look deep by playing my acoustic guitar. PLAYING SCENE IT ON THE XBOX 360!!!

And then we get competitive. And someone dies."

This is one of the worst commercials I have ever "scene." The worst part about video games going mainstream is that they try to appeal to *gulp* the general public.

    That was not as bad as the 80's NES commercials, but it was still pretty cheese.

    That's true, this is much cheesier.

    Pretty depressing commercial, though. At least the Zelda commercial was cheesy in a funny way, this commercial bored me. It was pretty funny at first though, since he seemed ridiculously excited, but it got dull quickly after.

    That was boring, to the point of nausea.

    Cheesey, yes. Waste of time, yes. Attention grabber? No. This game will get very little recognition with lame commercials and some resemblances to the actual DVD version. This is just a repeat of the actual game.

    Jeez...that WAS cheesy. Most of it was just them talking.

    Besides, no one's gonna buy a 360 when they can just play the DVD version...

    Tommy Boy is hilarious, but this game looks like the epitome of suck.

      Truthfully, there really wasn't. It was just bland. Honestly though, not very much that could be done for this..game?

          It's not as bad as their original 360 commercial for Japan. They had a bunch of pop stars singing about their love for the system.

          This is indeed a step up, overall, in marketing.
