Might be just me, but this is the best trailer for a video game I have ever seen. And I’ve been frequenting gametrailers dot com pretty much since day one :)

Well. I don't know about you guys, but I've been blown away. A-mazing. I will be getting this when it comes out. It looks like you're playing through a Samurai Jack episode with that art style. Sure to be a very absorbing game. Hopefully they'll give us a break in the action to enjoy the scenery.

Yea, music’s a bit different than you’d expect, but I think ultimate it works, not like, say, Marylin Manson/DragonAge. And no, it’s not like clip #2,843 from Final Fantasy _ w/ Linkin Park slapped on top…if you pay attention it’s actually edited to the music, like a proper music vid should be. And really, do you want them spending the time/money on a new trailer song, or on making the game?

As others have said, looks bloody fantastic, hope it’s fun!

Blood Hunger Doctrine

Some other good songs from the same album:

Like the good folks said, the track is “Blood Hunger Doctrine”. Personally I think the music gives the footage a certain vibe it would otherwise lack. The artwork (and even more so animation) is staggeringly good, in a way I’ve never seen in a 2D sidescroller, but it runs the risk of seeming ‘cartoony’, and therefore slightly detached. The music tells us that as cute as the little flying saucer might be, for the guys inside this is a matter of life and death. A cartoon monster to us is a Lovecraftian horror to them. It helps with empathy.

Dimmu Borgir have completely lost it now but they’ve made some good stuff, and there are a few really good songs on DCA too

Judging for what the game is ( 80’s gameplay ) seems a very good one. With some Epicness and Greatness. 2009 hardware let you do some crazy things that was not available 20 years ago. But 2009 hardware also able 2009’s gameplay. And I consider our current 2009’s gameplay superior to all the 80’s one. I don’t miss “game over” screens, 3 lifes… and that stuff.

Gran Torino was a nice movie, but I the car looks to me like ugly.

I have to agree with the other commenters. This game (or the trailer at least) looks stunningly pretty. Lets see if the gameplay is equally good. I am a bit worried about the “run/swim from giant thing that wants to eat you through a corridor of sorts”-missions in the trailer. I always hated those in the SuperMario games.
