The next evolution of rhythm games: Bike Hero

Okay, so yes, the video above is not of an actual game. It's also not a video created by devoted fans. No, it's a video created by an ad agency -- and paid for by Activision -- designed to hock Guitar Hero. But does that make it less awesome? We're inclined to say that it does not. Furthermore, we're hopeful that the video will inspire creative people to discover what other games are best represented via bicycle. Might we suggest Bikes of War and Bike 4 Dead? Get to it, internet.

I was thinking to myself, there's no f'in way this is real. Looks like entirely too much time for anyone to come up with.

Except for an ad agency...

Interesting and healthy!

Though I'm sure the problems Red Octane has always had with the guitars will be much worse with the plastic bikes...

Plus, I'm not buying a new bike every 9 months...

I was watching it and thought "To do something like this in your spare time and get it all synce up, WOW, the people who did this must litteraly have no life at all."

Now that I see they were all paid to set it up and do it, even the guy running in the video midway past the biker, im much less impressed (since with a budget, you cna do anything) however, I have some faith restored in humanity, knowing that no1 wasted their time doing this just for kicks.
