Capturing attractive screenshots and game footage is more difficult than it looks. It's even harder when you have "wacky" ad copy that you need to match. Still, when your low-rent Andy Dick knockoff says, "They say he's incredibly fast," it might behoove you to show Sonic going incredibly fast. Instead of, say, shambling toward a pipe where he will go somewhat fast. Or standing around waiting for a platform to descend. By the time the game clips look any good, we've turned our attention to Sonic's sound effect-laden comeuppance of HAG president Danita Stokes. Oh, HAG -- I just got that! Subtle.
