Guitar Hero 5 ad features Hugh Hefner, plethora of Playboy Bunnies

by David Hinkle on Aug 29th 2009 3:00PM

Activision continues its Risky Business ad campaign (remember Guitar Hero World Tour's and Guitar Hero Metallica's?) with Guitar Hero 5, which shows Hef and some of his gals (okay, mostly his gals) rocking out with plastic guitars. It's an effective ad, for two reasons:

It shows that, should we pick up Guitar Hero 5, we too could have a room full of hotties gyrating and looking all sexy-like
Playboy Bunnies are skilled in the art of clairvoyance and don't even need to look at the TV to play

[Unnecessary_Fanboy_Hate] So childish! Trying to pass the same marketing move once again! Still milking the "Sex Sales" to what they think are just a teenage filled market! I will purchase the rival product, where they treat dead celebrities with CLASS! [/Unnecessary_Fanboy_Hate]

They gave this one a number, that means it should have a new ad campaign. Im getting tired of the Risky Business spoof. It was old after the first commercial.
