Shall we Crash? Japanese MotorStorm commercials

Japanese car video games have kids. hmm.What does a little kid and grainy camera quality have to do with a car combat game like MotorStorm? If you're a Japanese advertiser, it means everything.


With Sony and Evolution Studios' MotorStorm heading to Japanese game stores in a little over a week, it would make sense that they'd start bringing out the commercials. In the often-quirky Japanese fashion, they've decided that their latest commercials needed a hook of sorts. To do that, they've enlisted the help of kids getting into accidents.

From little toddlers taking small spills on their cars to kids doing flips, the commercial makers decided to represent the exact same things with car crashes. They even decided to bring the ad to an end with an inviting bit of Engrish, "Shall we crash?"

We've got the YouTube videos here, but if you're interested in seeing better-looking versions of the videos for download, then feel free to check the sourced link below, from which we also got the above picture. Happy gaming, and don't take a nasty fall like the kids in the commercials, alright?

I reaaaally hope they got the slowdown taken care of.

From the quick clip of all those cars and trucks racing side by side, it looks like it's gone.



When is this coming out Stateside?
