How to make a GTA trailer

Rockstar just released its first official trailer for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories (via its newly-opened website), and it features all the elements of previous GTA trailers. Let's see if we can spot the formula:
  • Pop music contemporary to the game's era ... (Foreigner -- "I want to know what love is")
  • Over-the-top voice acting spouting over-the-top dialogue ... ("When will you grow a brain?")
  • Montage of gun fights ...
  • Multiple screens of the same video, reminiscent of Warhol or 80s music videos ... (see above)
It's a tried-and-true formula for a Grand Theft Auto, itself a tried-and-true formula. Video is embedded after the break, so judge for yourself.
